What ROUGIE does
Maison Rougié is a 150-year-old French gourmet food company, founded in 1875 and headquartered in Sarlat-la-Canéda in the South-West of France. It specializes in premium duck and goose products — foie gras, magret, confit, terrines, and rillettes — alongside an expanding seafood range covering crustaceans, shellfish, smoked fish, and ready-to-use carpaccios. Its duck supply chain is fully French, sourced from 389 family farms operating under Rougié's breeding charter, with non-GMO cereal feed (<0.9% GMO) and a zero-antibiotic policy on fresh foie gras and fillets. The company makes its products available globally via professional and consumer channels.
The business operates a dual go-to-market model. The B2B/professional segment addresses fine-dining restaurants, hotels, and caterers in France and internationally through a field-sales team of culinary advisors and tiered ranges — Grand Chef (premium), Sélection, Selection Bistro, and Service — together with a dedicated Rougié core range. The B2C/individual segment distributes through retail channels and a direct e-commerce storefront on rougie.com, selling gift boxes, foie gras, confit and dried magret, the Slices (pre-portioned products), culinary aids, and aperitif products. Marketing is anchored by a recipe library, the Foie Gras School culinary education program, the Trophée Rougié competition, and organic social presence on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
Maison Rougié is a private subsidiary of EURALIS Group, a French agricultural cooperative, and has 101-250 employees. The company does not publicly disclose revenue, profitability, or headcount trajectory. Competition comes from other premium French foie gras producers, seafood specialists, and private-label foodservice suppliers, with Rougié's differentiation resting on integrated French sourcing, certified animal welfare and feed standards, and 150 years of professional-chef brand equity.
