Cuvée presentation

A small batch of Demerara rum, distilled in 2004, using a Versailles pot still, and bottled in 2022 by Rum Nation. Rum Nation is an Italian merchant founded in 1999 by Fabio Rossi, who worked in the family wine and spirits import business founded by his father in 1956. During his stays in Scotland, he noticed a few barrels of rum from Jamaica and Guyana, which inspired him to offer such rums to the public. Under the precise guidance of Silvano Samaroli, he launched Rum Nation and began to scour the Caribbean. After an initial maturation in their place of production, the rums he selects continue their maturation in Europe, in a more temperate climate, sometimes in sherry or Spanish brandy casks. Rum Nation looks to keep the spirit in its country of origin, reminded by the presence of a stamp of the country in question on the label, which Fabio has collected since childhood. Fabio Rossi is also behind Wilson & Morgan, a merchant specialised in whiskey. A limited edition of 972 bottles.

The distillery Versailles

The Versailles estate is not in fact in Ile-de-France but instead the hamlet of Versailles in Montagnac-sur-Auvignon, in the heart of the Buzet appellation. And yet the origins of the name are the same as those of the illustrious château, designating former marshes converted into tillable land over the centuries. Founded in 1937 by a family of merchants who converted to agriculture and planted the first vines over four hectares, the estate was first taken over by a son, before being bought in 2008 by Hélène Singlande. Spanning seven hectares of gravel soils in a region bordered by Oceanic and Mediterranean climates, the vineyard is planted with two hectares of Merlot, two and a half hectares of Cabernet Franc and two and a half hectares of Sauvignon. Vines are grown according to sustainable farming principles and heavily exposed to the sun, enabling optimum ripeness that produces elegant and aromatic wines.
