Producer history Père Labat
The Père Labat brand identifies the rhums produced at Distillerie Poisson (Domaine Poisson) in Grand‑Bourg on Marie‑Galante. The site began as a sugar factory in the 19th century and started producing rhum agricole in the early 20th century (documented evidence indicates production began around 1916). Over time the operation has remained locally run and, since the 2000s, the brand has refocused on quality and small‑scale production.
Production philosophy
Strong connection to the Marie‑Galante territory and traditional practices: use of locally harvested (often hand‑cut) cane, rapid milling and artisanal, small‑scale processing to preserve the character of the terroir.
Territory
Marie‑Galante island, Guadeloupe archipelago (French overseas territory); production site in Grand‑Bourg (Domaine/Distillerie Poisson).
