1930 - 1940
The year 1931 marked a turning point in the iconographic history of Saint Raphaël with the appearance of the two café waiters in the brand's various creations. These two figures, also called the "Twins," were inspired by two actors: Armand Bernard and Paul Marien, or "Pauley" as he was known on stage: one is red, symbolizing Saint Raphaël Rouge, and the other is white, representing Saint Raphaël Ambré. They bring a unique soul and character to the brand.
Aperitif made from either red mistelle or white mistelle and aromatic plants. A variant was made for Pippermint Get, a mint liqueur.
Aperitif wine, made with cherries, strawberries and blackberries macerated by Bardinet in Bordeaux.
Bitter liqueur.
In 1885, Ambroise Labounoux founded a distillery in Montaignac-Saint-Hippolyte, in his native Upper Corrèze, to produce a gentian liqueur. The Labounoux family sourced gentian root from the mountains around the village of Salers.
