According to legend
Gauloise owes its name to the fact that it was already made when our country was called Gaul. The Roman Legions preferred this tasty liqueur to the mead of the Gods! The recipe for this incomparable elixir was then lost in the twists and turns of time... Until the year 1783, when Sieur Requier, liquorist... and undoubtedly a bit of an alchemist, found it in an old grimoire. The Gauloise, like the Phoenix, was ready to be reborn! A recipe from the dawn of time! In the silence of the cellars, the Master Liquorist skillfully mixes angelica, St. John's wort, saffron, cardamom, genepi... and many other ingredients whose ancestral secret he carefully keeps, in a double distillation over a wood fire. To combine finesse and roundness with power, he adds the right amount of fine brandy and sugar syrup. Finally, after slow aging, La Gauloise reveals its exceptional aromatic palette.

In 2018, La Gauloise jaune obtained the Medal of 'Gold at the Concours Général Agricole which took place as part of the Paris International Agricultural Show, one year after La Gauloise verte obtained the Silver Medal.
