The A1710 domain
The organic cane plot
Located within the A1710 domain on the grounds of the Habitation du Simon, our organic cane plantation is free of fertilisers, pesticides, herbicides, and chemicals. Here, we cultivate two varieties of cane, the ‘canne bleue’ and the ‘canne rouge’ (blue cane and red cane). The canes harvested in this plot will bring to life two organic, single-variety, and plot-specific white rum vintages, namely La Perle Rare ‘Canne Rouge,’ and La Perle Rare ‘Canne Bleue’.
The mill house
Our hand-cut canes are transported to the Mill House, at the heart of the domain, where they are pressed in our three-roll mill, similar to those used since the 19th century.
The A1710 distillery
As a result of extensive study and research, our distillery specifically brings out the extraordinary and exclusive character of A1710 rums. The design of the distillery was driven by a willingness to attain technical and aesthetic excellence.
‘La Belle Aline,’ our Charente copper still fitted with a 7-plate column, stands elegantly in the old fully restored 18th-century sugar purgery.
The A1710 distillery primarily symbolises a rebirth, that of the first distillery to open after over a century of consecutive closures.
It is now one of 8 distilleries producing rum from cane juice in Martinique.
