245,00€

Three expressions of a single soul, brought together in a wooden gift box. The Réserve Originale, the Réserve du Centenaire and the Réserve Impériale embody together the art of assemblage as Louis Roque conceived it in 1905: patient, exacting, rooted in fruit and in time. A box conceived to be given, shared and savoured.

Originale, Centenaire, Impériale: three chapters of the same story, that of a French eau-de-vie built on patience, fruit and time.

HISTORY

La Vieille Prune de Souillac was born in 1905 from the vision of Louis Roque, who developed a secret blending recipe using eaux-de-vie made from several varieties of plums, aged in French oak barrels according to a savoir-faire passed down for over a century. This trilogy gift box is its finest expression: three interpretations of a single art of assemblage, three ageing profiles, one ambition: excellence.

Why we love it

Because it tells a complete story. From the vivid, fruit-forward notes of the Réserve Originale to the deep, enveloping woodiness of the Réserve Impériale, with the Centenaire's subtle balance bridging the two. This gift box is an invitation to understand what time does to fruit. Three bottles, three characters, one house.

THE THREE CUVÉES

Réserve Originale. True to the 1905 recipe, it combines the freshness of the fruit with the roundness of the oak. Notes of almond, plum stone and gentle spice. An authentic and generous expression.
Réserve du Centenaire. A blend of Réserve Originale and Réserve Impériale, it offers aromas of vanilla, pastry, cooked plum and candied lemon. A indulgent palate and a spiced finish.
Réserve Impériale. Aged for an extended period in French oak barrels, it reveals woody, vanilla-laced notes, fresh coconut and candied orange. A deep, elegant and remarkable eau-de-vie.
