Rhum Damoiseau

What is established and what is not

No researcher review has been written for this company yet. 12 official records from 5 official sources are on file. 4 other entries are not official records: our own technical checks and searches, open directory listings, our inferences or the company's own statements. Everything is listed below with its evidence type: each entry confirms only what it literally says; none of them is a review. The manufacturing role above rests on the official records listed below, and only as far as each literally goes: a facility registration or licence is not an observation of current production. Nothing here confirms ownership or trading status beyond what each record literally says.

Facts on file, each with its evidence type

• Business email on the company's own domain (record type: corporate-mail-on-domain) [our own observation, not an official record; status green] Shows the domain runs its own email rather than a free mailbox. It describes the domain, not who owns it. checked 2026-08-09. Mail server of the company domain
• No match found in the debarment registers we checked (record type: debarment-clear) [our own observation, not an official record; name search, no matching candidate] We searched the public debarment datasets and found no matching candidate.

• No match found on the sanctions lists we checked (record type: sanctions-clear) [our own observation, not an official record; name search, no matching candidate] We searched the public sanctions datasets and found no matching candidate. A name search is not full compliance screening. checked 2026-08-09. OpenSanctions
• Website domain registered (record type: domain-registered) [our own observation, not an official record; status green] Shows how long this web address has been registered. That is the age of the domain, not of the company: a domain can change owners. checked 2026-08-09. Domain registry record
• Workforce size in the company register (record type: workforce-on-record) [official record; status green] Between 20 and 49 employees on the state record.

• An environmental inspector visited the plant, on the official record (record type: facility-inspected) [official record; status green] Inspected 2026-04-22. An inspector came to the site on that date, so the site existed then and was not only licensed on paper. The visit itself does not show what was being made there. checked 2026-10-13. Georisques, French register of classified installations (ICPE)
• The inspection report describes the site: L’exploitation des installations de production et de stockage de rhum (cuves, chais) de la distillerie DAMOISEAU a initialement été autorisée au titre de la réglementation ICPE par l'arrêté préfectoral n°2003-177 AD/1/4 du 30 janvier 2003.

A state inspector wrote this after standing on the site, so it describes what the plant actually does, not what its own website claims. checked 2026-10-13. Georisques, French register of classified installations (ICPE)
• Street address on file in the state register (record type: registered-establishment) [official record; status green] The place of business the company itself declared when it registered.

The inspector checked each regulatory point and wrote down which ones need a follow-up. A request for documents is an open question, not a proven breach; the report does not say how it was resolved later. checked 2026-10-13. Georisques, French register of classified installations (ICPE)
