History
Grima was originally a port on the Garonne River located in Cadaujac, the birthplace of Maison Mounicq. It once served as a river stopover for Graves wines bound for Bordeaux. With its winemaking and naval past, the Gironde capital has contributed greatly to the spread of rum in the metropolis for centuries. Its history greatly inspired the Nadé brothers in the development of their rum: thus was born Grima. Embark on a journey to exotic destinations and let yourself be carried away by these tastings.
