Producer history Bielle
Bielle has been operating on the island of Marie‑Galante for over a century; the company reports activity since 1910. Over time the facility has modernized while maintaining traditional practices linked to the sugarcane supply chain. Since 1975 operations have been managed by the Société d'Exploitation de la Distillerie Bielle; the Thiéry family is currently involved in its direction.

Bielle presents itself as a producer closely tied to its territory: valuing the vesou (fresh sugarcane juice), respecting the raw material and experimenting with cuvées and aging finishes. Official communication emphasizes the link to the Marie‑Galante terroir and the desire to combine tradition and innovation.
