OUR PRUNES Coming from China by the road of spices and silk, the plum will follow the way of great civilizations. The plum tree of ente (of old French "enter" which means to graft) was planted in the 18th century by the monks of the abbey of Clairac. It was then dried using a process coming from Roman methods and became thus the marvellous fruit of Agen. Then, the prunes were transported on the Garonne by gabarres (old boats specifics to the region) to the harbour of Bordeaux ; the appelation of Pruneaux d’Agen comes from here. Generation after generation, la maison Guinguet transmitted the passion of prune and never stopped to evolve its transformation. Today, in our larger and entirely re-decorated buildings, one will discover all our specialities: marrowy prunes lined in Armagnac, in white wine, in red wine or in chocolate. Greedy compositions as well as a broad choice of gifts of decoration are exposed in order to supplement our line of goods.
