Citadelle Jardin d'été Gin
Modern Gin
Citadelle // Charentais , France
A permanent addition to the Citadelle lineup since April 2021, Jardin d'Eté is inspired by the summer garden at Château de Bonbonnet in Ars, France, cultivated by Debbie Gabriel, wife of Citadelle founder Alexandre Gabriel. Built on the distillery's 19 original botanicals, it adds Charentais melon, yuzu zest, orange peel, and whole lemon, including the flesh and juice rather than just the peel, all cold distilled to preserve their fresh character. Juniper for the gin is sourced from the distillery's own orchard just across from the château.
Bottled at 83 proof. (SRP $24.99) .

Tasting Notes
"Though melon is one of the ingredients that's meant to set this gin apart, it's only delicately pushed to the palate as a backdrop to more citrusy, floral, junipery and herbal flavors. Zesty spices, particularly a sharp, spicy pepper note tickle the back of the throat. With a bit of sparkling water, more of the fruity notes work their way into the palate, but interestingly, tonic brings out more of the spice. "
