About me
Mathurin Heude is the founder and CEO of the Armateurs de Rhum of Saint-Malo. He’s from Saint-Malo, with a family in Saint-Malo’s gastronomy for 150 years. After his food engineering industry and a cooker formation, He has worked in big companies such as Danone and Unilever, but he ever had in mind entrepreneurship.
“My first and main support was my father. He has 40 years’ experience in the sommelier trade. He gave me a passion for taste. Thanks to his career, he gave me an entrepreneurial spirit. This is the reason why I’ve found in June 2020 the Armateurs de Rhum”, Mathurin Heude.
Rum is a long love story with Saint-Malo. From the French East India Company to the “Route du Rhum” nowadays, Saint-Malo is an essential place for these wonderful spirits.
Because Mathurin is from Saint-Malo and with his family story, it was obvious for me to create the company in this place, to revive this story between Saint-Malo and rhum.
"I think the day I really fell in love with Saint-Malo was when I met Jacques Larrent, the cellar master of Bielle. I was 20 years old and Jacques was in Saint-Malo for the famous « Route du Rhum ». He organized a testing session of rhums and I realized that there was a real complexity and an infinite way of tasting as in the wine sector. I think this day is the beginning of the Armateurs de Rhum, because it’s the beginning of my passion for rhum." Mathurin Heude
