MICHEL CLUIZEL: Mangaro

MICHEL CLUIZEL (France) - Plantation "Mangaro"
Madagascar, 1er Cru de Plantation 65%

"Located on the island of Madagascar at the heart of the Indian Ocean, in the rich valley of the river Sambirano, this plantation flourishes on the land of a former mango tree forest. The beans of these cocoa trees have enabled me to develop a highly flavoured chocolate, blending aromas of exotic fruits, delicious flavours of honey spice cake and acidulated hints of citrus fruit."

*Soft
*Grassy
*Touch of lemon
*Hard to nail down -- too much going on?
