La Gauloise Liqueur Bicentenaire Verte is a traditional green herbal liqueur from France with a robust alcohol content of 48 % vol. The spirit is produced by the Distillerie du Centre in Limoges, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, according to a historic recipe dating from 1783. This recipe is based on an ancient ‘grimoire’ – an alchemical herbal – which was rediscovered by the apothecary Édouard Requier. To this day, the liqueur is produced from a secret blend of over 30 herbs, roots and spices and is distilled using a labour-intensive, handcrafted process.

The ‘Verte’ (green) variant is stronger, more aromatic and more tart than the yellow ‘Jaune’ version, thus embodying the classic French herbal liqueur style in its full-bodied form. It has won numerous awards over the centuries, including the gold medal at the 1889 World’s Fair and the medal of honour at the 1900 World’s Fair in Paris. With its striking, natural colour and intense herbal profile, La Gauloise Verte ranks among the most historically significant spirits of its kind.

Tasting Note

Colour: Bright, deep green.

Nose: An intense blend of herbs, menthol, aniseed, pine resin and a subtle sweetness.

Palate: Complex and full-bodied with strong herbal notes, a delicate bitterness, spice and balsamic undertones.

Finish: Long-lasting, warming and tart-spicy with a lingering herbal character.

Traditionally served neat or on the rocks as a digestif. Can also be enjoyed with a dash of ice-cold water – much like absinthe or Chartreuse. Ideal for enhancing herbal cocktails or in patisserie for flavouring desserts. Due to its robust profile, La Gauloise Verte is particularly suited to connoisseurs of traditional herbal liqueurs and collectors of French spirits culture.
