Citadelle Jardin d'Été Gin - A Taste of French Summer

Unearthing the Elegance of French Craftsmanship

Citadelle Jardin d’Été Gin is more than a mere spirit; it’s a masterpiece born from the innovative heart of Maison Ferrand, standing tall amongst the verdant landscapes of the Cognac region, France. Known for its dedication to artisanal liquor crafting, Maison Ferrand has injected their expertise into crafting a gin that embodies the vibrant essence of a sunlit garden in full bloom.

Inspired by Nature’s Bounty

‘Jardin d’Été,’ translating to ‘Summer Garden,’ nods to the lush inspiration drawn from Château de Bonbonnet’s flourishing grounds. This exceptional gin is infused with the aromatic beauty and effervescent zest found within the estate’s meticulously maintained gardens. The presence of Debbie Gabriel’s nurturing touch in garden cultivation subtly echoes through the botanical medley of the gin, resonating with the soul of Citadelle’s offerings.

Innovative Production Techniques for Superior Quality

Meticulously distilled using French wheat, Citadelle Jardin d’Été Gin benefits from the progressive infusion technique, a pioneering method patented by Citadelle. This approach ensures the meticulous extraction of flavors from each of the 22 diverse botanicals, each infused at their own pace to unfold their deepest aromatic notes without overpowering the others.

A Symphony of Botanicals

At the heart of this gin lies a harmonic blend of botanicals that craft its delightful spectrum of flavors. Offering a layered complexity are the charentais melon, known for its sweet aroma, accompanied by staple juniper berries, whole lemons, and the exotic yuzu. These core botanicals are carefully blended with spices such as nutmeg and cardamom, creating a dance of flavors that ravish the palate with each drop.
