Geographical indication entered in the Union register, protected since 1989. Rum, Guadeloupe.
A geographical indication or an appellation guarantees an origin and compliance with a controlled product specification. It says nothing about the quality of any particular bottle, nor about how artisanal the producer is: it is a guarantee of provenance and method, not a score.
The extent of this entry is recorded (Guadeloupe), but none of these territories is in the set of outlines the site loads — it covers metropolitan France only. The map therefore does not draw the outline: it carries a point.
The distilleries of this area
A survey of the producers in this area is under way. This level of the corpus — the distillery, its history, its equipment, its archives — is the Atlas's next documentary undertaking. You can help with it.
