Chateau Depaz Estate is nestled in the charming coastline city of St. Pierre on the French Caribbean island of Martinique, and was established in 1651 by Martinique’s first governor, Jacques Duparquet. Depaz Rhum is an agricole rhum (agricultural rum), which refers to its seasonal production from each year’s crop of blue cane, rather than a year-round production from sugar byproducts such as molasses. Depaz is privileged to have received an Appellation d’Origine Controlee (AOC) designation, available only to Martinique rhum agricole, which ensures its strict adherence to precise standards of production.
