Élaboration et expression aromatique

This gin is distinguished by a chiselled citrus aromatic that showcases the California orange, used from peel to pulp for a broad, fresh signature. The spirit of juniper, the backbone of any respectable gin, expresses itself here with clarity and presence, while complementary botanicals add relief and depth. At 43%, the alcohol supports the aroma without aggression, carries the citrus notes and extends the mouthfeel. The result is a luminous, precise profile designed for demanding cocktails as well as neat tasting over ice. Each sip draws a clear line, a clean aromatic trail where the citrus remains graceful—vivid but never harsh. Overall it evokes the right touch, a craftsmanship that preserves the spirit's transparency, magnifies the scent of the zests and respects balance, the key of a contemporary gin that refuses both shortcuts and showiness.

Notes de dégustation

• Appearance : Clear and crystalline, with a bright sheen that announces exemplary aromatic purity.
• Nose : Initial notes of ripe orange and zest, followed by frank juniper, hints of peel and discreet spices. A lively, structured freshness.
• Palate : Tonic attack, supple and upright texture. The citrus unfolds its vivacity, a noble bitter peel follows, the finish stretches out, clean and luminous.

Température de service et conseils

Serve this gin well chilled, around 8 to 10°C, to reveal the precision of the citrus. For a gin & tonic, favour a dry tonic water, large clear ice cubes and an orange twist finely expressed over the glass. In a martini style serve, measured dilution and a chilled presentation will highlight its straight character. Over ice, a simple strip of peel is enough to underline its citrus nature. Store the bottle away from light and reseal it carefully after each use to preserve its aromatic brightness.

Accords mets et vin

• Aperitifs : roasted almonds, green olives, lemon gravlax salmon, savoury tartlets with fresh herbs.
• Starters : citrus ceviche, sea bream carpaccio, fennel and orange salad, oysters with orange zest.
• Main courses : roast chicken with preserved lemon, steamed white fish with olive oil and zest, herb linguine with citrus zests.
