BIELLE - Goélette 2011 Brut de fût - 6 ans - 54,1%
Bielle Distillery is located on Marie-Galante Island, in the West Indies. In 1769, Jean-Pierre Bielle was growing coffee on this island and later, in 1826, his sons teamed up to create a sugar refinery on 53 hectares. Thus, the production of rum at the Domaine did not begin until the beginning of the 20th century. After the Second World War, the property was abandoned and then bought by Paul Rameaux in 1955. In 1975, the property, the house and the distillery were taken over by SEDB (Société d'Exploitation de la Distillerie Bielle). Today, the Bielle distillery is one of the most renowned in the West Indies. The sugar cane comes from small local producers. The cane juice, obtained with two mills, is fermented for 48 hours before being distilled by three Savalle stainless steel columns.
The Goélette adventure was born from the authenticity of the Très Hombres idea of reactivating the maritime transport of goods by sail for an ecological transport. This is how this brick-goélette crosses the oceans with quality products on board such as coffee from Colombia, cocoa from the Dominican Republic or Rum Bielle from Marie-Galante. On June 19, 2020, the Goélette Bielle Marie-Galante left her home port with 1,590 liters of rum (62 barrels) to reach Marseille with the plan to follow Ulysses' wake wearing the colors of her rum and Marie -Galante. Unfortunately, the team suffered a wreck.
