What it tastes like.

Elisir M.P. Roux is made from maceration and distillation of many plants, roots, and spices from Provence and around the world. All of which gives it its powerful and mysterious taste.

Intense green with yellow glints. Herbal, minty, spicy, and fresh powerful notes.

The strong attack boasts a minty and spicy flavor that delights your taste buds and stimulates the palate. It evolves towards well-balanced herbal and floral notes that end with a long and fresh finish.

Elisir MP Roux should be served chilled at the end of the meal. Can also be enjoyed in a cocktail or topped with tonic.

About et Domaines de Provence.

Haute-Provence (Forcalquier) ·Est. 1898

Distilleries et Domaines de Provence operates from Forcalquier in Haute-Provence, a region with a thousand-year tradition of plant-based distilling and herbalism. The company traces back to 1898, when the Distillerie de Lure was founded; Paul Ferréoux acquired it in 1920 and created the Pastis Paulanis (the ancestor of today's Henri Bardouin pastis) in 1924. It took its current name in 1974 under Alain Robert and was the first French house to remake commercial absinthe after the prohibition lifted, releasing Absente in 1999.

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Distillerie et Domaines de Provence

Haute-Provence (Forcalquier)

The Distillerie de Lure was founded in 1898 in Forcalquier, in Haute-Provence's Lure mountain region. The original founder is no longer recorded — the 1898 date is documented from a 1935 poster announcing the distillery's 37th anniversary. Paul Ferréoux purchased the operation in 1920 and developed it commercially: in 1924 he created Pastis Paulanis, the direct ancestor of the house's now-headline Henri Bardouin pastis. The business became Distilleries et Domaines de Provence in 1974 under Alain Robert, who modernised production while keeping the artisanal botanical-maceration approach intact.

Forcalquier sits in a region carrying what the French call a patrimoine of mountain herbalism: lavender, thyme, juniper, fennel, sage, gentian, génépi and dozens of less-publicised herbs grow within working distance of the distillery. DDP's recipes use roughly fifty botanicals across the portfolio. Henri Bardouin pastis blends 65 herbs and spices — well above commodity pastis, which typically use a handful. In 1999, after French and EU regulation made it possible, DDP became the first French company to commercially relaunch absinthe, releasing Absente at 55% and the higher-strength Grande Absente at 69%.

The full portfolio runs across pastis (Henri Bardouin), absinthe (Absente at 55%, La Grande Absente at 69%), gentian aperitifs (Gentiane de Lure), peach aperitif (Rinquinquin), orange aperitif (Orange Colombo), almond liqueur (Amandine), thyme liqueur (Farigoule), génépi, vermouth (Vermouth de Forcalquier), and a botanical dry gin (XII). Production today reaches 80 countries from 45 employees on the Forcalquier site. The house also makes the long-handled four-pour absinthe fountains used in classic French service.
