Citadelle Jardin d'Été

750ml & 83 Proof

Citadelle Jardin d'Été is a Gin from the Citadelle Gin brand hailing from France.

What is Citadelle Jardin d'Été?

Citadelle Jardin d'Été is a French gin that captures the essence of a summer garden, infusing its botanical blend with melon, whole lemon, yuzu zest, and orange peel. What makes this gin truly unique is its use of the patented "Progressive Infusion" technique, where each botanical is macerated separately at a specific temperature and duration to extract optimal flavors, resulting in a beautifully balanced and aromatic spirit.

Why do we love Citadelle Jardin d'Été?

Citadelle Jardin d'Été stands out as a gin, not a rum, that captures the essence of a French summer garden through its unique blend of 22 botanicals, including whole lemon, yuzu zest, and melon flesh. This limited edition gin is crafted using Citadelle's patented progressive infusion method, where each botanical is steeped at its ideal temperature and duration, resulting in a perfectly balanced and refreshing spirit that's perfect for warm-weather cocktails.

How do you drink Citadelle Jardin d'Été?

Citadelle Jardin d'Été shines in refreshing warm-weather cocktails, particularly those featuring citrus or herbal notes that complement its botanical profile. While delightful neat or over ice, this gin truly comes alive in long drinks or spritz-style serves, making it perfect for outdoor sipping on balmy summer evenings, ideally paired with light, Mediterranean-inspired fare like grilled seafood or fresh salads.

Nose: Fresh citrus peel, notably lemon and orange, with underlying notes of juniper and coriander. Subtle hints of melon and candied lemon emerge, accompanied by a soft floral aroma reminiscent of jasmine.

Palate: Smooth and crisp with pronounced citrus flavors. Lemon zest and yuzu dominate, balanced by traditional gin botanicals like juniper and angelica root. A touch of honeydew melon adds sweetness, while black pepper provides a gentle spice.

Finish: Medium-length with lingering citrus notes. The juniper becomes more pronounced, accompanied by a mild warmth from the alcohol. A subtle bitterness from the citrus peel persists, leaving a clean and refreshing aftertaste.

Citadelle Jardin d'Été is crafted using a unique infusion process where whole fruits and herbs are steeped in the gin for several days before distillation. This method allows the botanicals, including melon, whole lemon, yuzu zest, and orange peel, to impart their flavors more intensely, resulting in a gin that captures the essence of a French summer garden.
