LONGUETEAU - GENESIS White - Column Brut - Batch No. 3 - Vintage 2019 - 72.7%
The prestigious Longueteau family settled in Guadeloupe as early as 1766, but it was truly at the end of the 19th century that Louis-Philippe Henry Longueteau took a decisive turn by acquiring part of the Marquisate of Sainte-Marie, put up for auction following the major crisis in the sugar industry. In 1895, he purchased the Habitation Espérance to transform this historic estate, shifting its status from a sugar mill to an exceptional distillery. Today, it is François Longueteau who oversees the destiny of this emblematic House, the only distillery in Guadeloupe whose owner is both a passionate farmer and an experienced master distiller.
Longueteau rums are made exclusively from their own sugarcane carefully cultivated on their lands. These canes are hand-harvested and crushed the same day at full maturity, thus guaranteeing optimal juice quality. The fermentation, lasting precisely 48 hours, is carried out without any chemical additives, preserving the natural expression of the terroir. Distillation then takes place in a 28-plate Savalle column, a traditional technique that allows the full aromatic richness of the cane to be expressed.
This exceptional vintage 2019 comes exclusively from the crushing and fermentation of the precious red canes (variety R579) grown on the estate. Distilled at a high strength of 72.7%, this rum has patiently aged for 24 months in stainless steel tanks to preserve all its purity and aromatic power. It is then bottled in a carafe at its natural strength, without dilution, thus offering a Column Brut rum of remarkable intensity and finesse.
