This French gin takes a distinctive approach by using a grape-based neutral spirit rather than the more common grain base, aligning it more closely with the country’s winemaking heritage. Produced in the Cognac region, it incorporates vine flower - grapevine blossom - as a key botanical, harvested during a short flowering period in early summer. This ingredient forms the core of its identity, setting it apart from more traditional juniper-dominant gins. The botanical selection leans toward floral and soft spice elements, with juniper present but less assertive than in classic London Dry styles. The production method emphasises careful distillation and blending, resulting in a lighter, more aromatic profile. Positioned within the premium and contemporary gin segment, it appeals to drinkers seeking a softer, more accessible style. Its identity bridges categories, drawing influence from both gin and grape-based spirits, and it is often used in lighter, more aromatic serves where its floral character can stand out.
