Louis Roque Brandy

In the small town of Souillac in southwest France, the Roque family has been distilling plum brandy since 1905, across five generations. La Vieille Prune is their masterpiece: a rich eau-de-vie made from three plum varieties and aged for years in oak. It's a bottle that tastes as much of family tradition as it does of fruit.

About Louis Roque

Louis Roque is the name behind La Vieille Prune, one of France's most respected plum brandies, beloved on gourmet restaurant menus across the country. For newcomers it's a surprising introduction to French fruit brandy with an intense marzipan and raisin character; for connoisseurs it represents five generations of craft distilled into one bottle, a niche few other producers pursue with the same dedication.

History & Background

Up until the end of the 19th century, the Roque family was known for its distilling skill, passed down from father to son. In 1905, Louis Roque, the third generation of the family, founded his own distillery in Souillac and quickly earned recognition for his ability to distil high-quality fruit brandy, especially from locally sourced pears and plums. He aged his distillates in oak casks and was known as a master blender, giving his brandy depth and character. After his death, his daughter carried on the business in the same spirit, and today the distillery is run by Louis's grandson, still with the same dedication to craft and quality.

Production & Style

The brandy is distilled from grapes and matured in oak casks following traditional southern French methods.
