Our universe
An ode to Brittany
To its temperament, its exceptional products, its unique connection to the sea. Armateurs is a company that creates spirits differently—with travel, wind, and time. A company that champions a free and demanding vision of French taste.
A story of enthusiasts
Mathurin is from Saint-Malo. And that changes everything.
Born in Saint-Malo, he grew up surrounded by bottles in his mother's wine cellar and his father's kitchen, who was a sommelier and passionate cook. From an early age, he developed a keen sense of taste, a deep respect for well-made products, and a desire to tell stories through flavors.
In 2020, he launched Les Armateurs.
Around him, a team of enthusiasts has gathered: artisans of taste, lovers of detail, all committed to reviving the great rum routes, blending tradition and modernity, and promoting the terroirs of Brittany and overseas territories.
A family affair.
Accompanied by his father, a sommelier for over 40 years, who passed on to him a love of taste and high standards for well-made products, Mathurin also inherited from his mother, a wine merchant, a curiosity for fine wines and a sense of connection with customers.
At Armateurs, this family passion has grown: today, it is a whole team working together—artisans, communicators, salespeople, logisticians—a family at heart, united by the same mission: to bring the spirit of Saint-Malo to life in every bottle.
Significant events
Our adventure began in 2020 with passion. Discover the milestones that have marked the history of Armateurs. From our first vintages to our most daring collaborations, each date tells the story of an adventure, an encounter, a shared passion.
Launch of the adventure
The history of Saint-Malo and its rich gastronomic ecosystem inspired Mathurin to modernize the consumption of spirits while respecting the maritime heritage.
First rum immersion
First underwater aging of rum in Saint-Malo Bay in partnership with the immersion association and the SNSM
First transport of rum by sailboat
On the occasion of the famous sailing race linking Saint-Malo to Pointe-à-Pitre, shipowners are anchoring their desire to reconnect with their maritime heritage and revive historic, carbon-free trade routes.
Collaboration with Grain de Sail - Meeting between two shipowners
Grain de Sail, a pioneer in modern carbon-free maritime transport, and Armateurs de Rhum, masters of aging, are reviving the spirit of 19th-century sailing. Transported aboard the Grain de Sail II sailing ship, each bottle tells the story of a unique voyage between the Caribbean and Brittany.
