Baie De Tresors Plein Soleil Rhum Agricole
Baie De Tresors Plein Soleil Rhum Agricole is the house's white rhum — and its most decorated: a 2022-harvest Martinique AOC rhum agricole from the Fond Basile plot, distilled from fresh-pressed cane juice and bottled unaged at a full 54% ABV (108 proof) in a 750mL bottle. By the sea, under constant sun, the Fond Basile cane concentrates remarkable vegetal aromas — wild, fresh, menthol-edged — and the glass delivers: rose, lychee and citrus opening into ripe cane and exotic fruit, closing on a minty vegetal finish. A 97-point Chairman's Trophy at the 2022 Ultimate Spirits Challenge. No sugar, no caramel, no additives. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Full Sun, Full Strength
"Plein Soleil" means full sun, and this is the cuvée that wears the name hardest: cane from an almost arid seaside plot, distilled to preserve every wild vegetal note, bottled at 54% with nothing softened. Excellence Rhum's tasting team called it "fruity, warm and already unmissable" — a white rum that stands toe-to-toe with aged agricoles. If you've only had sweetened white rum, this is the correction. Browse the Baie De Tresors collection, explore more rum, and shop the French spirits shelf at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Amazing notes of rose, lychee and citrusy citrus on the nose. The round, suave palate reveals ripe cane evolving into exotic fruits. The vegetal finish takes on almost minty accents — wild, fresh, astonishingly complex for an unaged rhum.
How to Enjoy
Taste it pure at least once — the house recommends it — to appreciate the vegetal nuances. Then: ti' punch with lime and a whisper of cane syrup, or a Daiquiri where the 54% ABV punches through.
