Clément Rhum History
The origin of Clément
The history of Clément Rhum begins in 1887, when Homère Clément acquired the Domaine de l'Acajou in Martinique. Homère Clément, a respected doctor and mayor of Le François, used his knowledge and resources to produce high-quality rhum agricole. Under his leadership and later under the direction of his son Charles Clément, the Clément brand developed into an icon of rhum agricole and today represents the rich culture and history of Martinique.
The philosophy behind the brand
Clément pursues a philosophy of authenticity, quality and sustainability. The brand attaches great importance to the use of fresh sugar cane grown on its own plantations. Every step in the production process, from harvesting the sugar cane to bottling the rum, is carried out with the utmost care. This guarantees control over the entire production chain and the highest quality of the end product. Clément is committed to transparency and sustainable production in order to protect the environment and support the local economy.
