Alexandre Gabriel was born and raised in France, on a farm in southern Burgundy, where his grandfather taught him how to make wine and distill spirits.
In 1989, Alexandre Gabriel came upon an ancient Cognac house and built it into what is known today as Maison Ferrand, in the heart of the Grande Champagne district of Cognac.
Through his passion and vision, Alexandre turned the small Cognac House into one of the greatest specialist of artisanal spirits today, producing an award-winning portfolio of sought after brands – Pierre Ferrand Cognac, Citadelle Gin, Plantation Rum, Mathilde Liqueurs amongst others.
Citadelle Gin is made from whole French wheat, water and juniper berries. The process of progressive infusion allows each aroma of the gin to be infused according to its aromatic composition.
The results of this long process have been scientifically proven and a patent has crowned the research work on this French gin. To date, it remains the only patent ever granted on the method of infusion of a gin.
Alexandre has looked to the past to create spirits for the future and has recently set his sights even further with the planting of their own juniper trees in front of the distillery, at the Château de Bonbonnet, and constructed their own Greenhouse to understand and experiment with diierent types of lemons.
