La Plantation Trois Rivières is more than 350 years of history! In 1660, Nicolas Fouquet, Louis XIV's Superintendent of Finance, won the largest concession ever granted to the West Indies: 2000 hectares located in the south of the island.
He will fall into disgrace before realizing his dream of founding a viceroyalty. It was then that in 1770 the estate changed owners several times. A strong sugar activity then developed with up to three sugar factories on the property, some vestiges of which still remain today. 15 years later the lands of Trois Rivières are acquired by a powerful owner of the north of the island, Etienne Isaïe Marraud Des Grottes, who adds the manufacture of rum to the activities of the sugar factory. In 1905 Amédée Aubéry, a powerful industrialist and landowner, acquired Trois Rivières. He modernized the site, stopped sugar production and made only rum. In 1953 the Marraud des Grottes family, already owners of a distillery and the Duquesne brand, bought the estate and marketed old Trois Rivières rums under the Duquesne brand until 1972. In the 80s the marketing outside Martinique began; The distillery expands and has a second column to distill. The metropolis first, then the whole of Europe will discover the rums Trois Rivières. From 2004 to today, the production of Trois Rivières is moved to Rivière Pilote, its precious original distillation column is reassembled on the new site, guaranteeing their quality and uniqueness to rums with the Turquoise label.
