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) variety 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.
