Citadelle Jardin d'Été Gin is a Other Gin from the Citadelle Gin brand crafted in France.
Inspired by the summer garden at the Château de Bonbonnet, a little nature preserve where flowers, fruit and herbs flourish, Citadelle Jardin d’Été is a citrusy twist on the signature gin. Here, Citadelle’s core 19 botanicals (including, as always, the chateau’s estate juniper), are rebalanced to accommodate the addition of Charentais melon, whole lemon flesh, and yuzu peel.
It captures the exact feeling of a breezy summer afternoon in a glass. The brilliant addition of sweet melon and tart yuzu perfectly complements the classic juniper, resulting in a wildly refreshing gin that is fruity and aromatic without ever losing its crisp, dry backbone.
This gin was born for warm-weather sipping. Its absolute best application is a towering, ice-cold Gin & Tonic garnished with a simple lemon peel to highlight the citrus. It also shines brilliantly in a French 75 or a tall, bubbly summer spritz.
Nose: Fresh and vibrant with notes of candied lemon, sweet melon, and classic juniper.
Palate: Tart yuzu and bright citrus zest perfectly balanced by the juicy sweetness of Charentais melon, with an underlying hint of peppery spice.
Finish: Crisp, elegant, and dry, leaving lingering notes of citrus oil and angelica.
Citadelle uses a patented "Progressive Infusion" technique. Instead of throwing everything into the vat at once, each of the 22 botanicals is steeped in the base spirit for a specific, tailored amount of time to extract its optimal flavor. It is then distilled in traditional open-flame copper pot stills.
