CITADELLE 'Rouge' Gin de France from Chateau de Bonbonnet Bottle (70cl) 41.7%abv

Description

Citadelle, crafted at the historic Château de Bonbonnet in Cognac, is a pioneer of artisanal French gin, famously distilled in small copper pot stills over open flames. This "Rouge" expression celebrates the vibrant bounty of red fruits, infusing their classic botanical base with fresh rhubarb, cranberries, and raspberries.

The nose is a delightful bouquet of bright summer berries, zesty citrus, and a subtle hint of traditional juniper. On the palate, it delivers a refreshingly crisp and fruit-forward experience; tangy notes of cranberry and rhubarb are beautifully balanced by sweet raspberry and a delicate peppery spice. The finish is remarkably clean and vibrant, leaving a lingering, mouthwatering fruitiness. This is a sophisticated and brilliantly balanced French gin, perfect for elevating a gin and tonic or a summer spritz.
