Since 1887 the production of Clément rum has been carried out according to the purest traditions and according to the rules inherited from Homère and Charles Clément.

Jealously guarded, this family recipe has been passed down from generation to generation, arriving today in the same way it did two centuries ago.

The Maison Clément belonged in 1880 to Virginie de Franqueville and Georges du Prey de la Ruffinière, following the great sugar crisis the farm was foreclosed and subsequently repurchased in 1887 by the Doctor Homère Clément.

Homère Clément, one of the first doctors on the island who was also mayor of Le François and member of the government of Martinique.

Having large sugar cane holdings (the fields extend over more than 100 hectares all around the house), it was initially processed in the factories of Le François.

Subsequently, towards the beginning of the 20th century, he created a distillery owned by him which produced a rum, according to the old agricultural traditions and for this reason it became very renowned and famous for its high level of quality.

The climatic conditions of Martinique also considerably accelerate aging.

The production of rhum vieuxagricoltura is subjected to the strict control of the AOC, which involves checking the sugar canes, the distillation, the barrels, the aging method, the bottling, etc.

The aging process is three times faster in Martinique, depending on the climatic conditions: 35° on average during the year with a high level of humidity.

Every year, evaporation represents 10% of the volume of the barrels. In the Clement distillery things do not change, it is always the old methodologies that hold sway on the estate.

The sugar canes are cut by hand to be able to select them at the base where they are richest in sugar.

The purity and richness of cane juice are fundamental in the production of a perfectly natural rum like that of Clement.

Its elaboration is the very proof of its original character; the pure cane juice, after fermentation, is distilled and then placed in small oak barrels with a capacity of only 200 litres, to obtain an incomparable finesse.

His son Charles, thanks to his engineering studies, will improve the company thanks to the introduction of innovative and modern methods of export and promotion.

He transforms the home into a real location where important people can be welcomed or events can be held.

Today the Maison Clément, one of the oldest properties on the island, has become a historical monument, and the only Creole house on the island still open to the public.
