Citadelle Gin
From: Maison Ferrand
Citadelle Original is the quintessential French gin. Dry and structured, it strikes a perfect balance between finesse and intensity, embodying the expertise of Citadelle Gin since 1996.
Born in 1996, Citadelle Gin remains the undisputed pioneer of the craft gin category in France. Creativity has been a defining feature of the brand since its inception.
It pairs beautifully with a platter of oysters for a true taste of French sophistication.
Citadelle creator Alexandre Gabriel’s dreams to grow his own citrus fruits – which play a central role in the gin’s patented recipe – expand on these environmental commitments. It won’t be long until they become a reality, as a greenhouse has been constructed next to the distillery.
