Citadelle Rouge Gin

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:The opening taste of Citadelle Rouge Gin is like a stroll through a sun-drenched French orchard, where ripe berries and fragrant botanicals mingle in the air. Crafted in France with meticulous attention to balance, this gin bursts with notes of juicy raspberry, tart cranberry, and subtle juniper, all lifted by a whisper of citrus zest. At 41.70% ABV, it delivers both vibrancy and finesse without overwhelming the palate. Its lively fruit character makes it an inspired companion for briny oysters or creamy goat cheese, enhancing each bite with its refreshing complexity and elegant finish.Producer Information: Maison FerrandMaison Ferrand, based in the heart of Cognac, France, was founded in 1989 by Alexandre Gabriel with a mission to revive artisanal methods and terroir-driven production in the region.
