Depaz is at Saint-Pierre beneath Mount Pelee, and the estate is cited as dating to 1651. The eruption of 1902 destroyed Saint-Pierre, and the Depaz family rebuilt the property in the decades that followed. The distillery runs Creole column stills and grows cane on the estate, which has a visitor centre and gardens. Ownership details differ between sources, so the owner field is the least certain fact in this entry.
