G'Vine Floraison Gin de France 70 cl

Product Information

Raised in the French vineyards, between Bordeaux and Cognac, the founder, owner and Master Distiller of Maison Villevert, Jean Sébastien Robicquet, is passionate about wine and spirits, and possesses a brazen commitment to the art of fine living. The ancestral family property, now the company's headquarters. In 1528 Maison Villevert belonged to Jehan Robicquet, who was a courtier and confidant of François I, King of France, and his official supplier of hides, furs and feathers. Today the residence surrounded by 80+ acres of vineyards and which both fuels uniquely crafted spirits and welcomes guests and visitors. Jean-Sébastien Robicquet, founder and president of Maison Villevert has created 10 brands sold internationally since 2001 including Ciroc for Diageo G'Vine Floraison, Nouaison Gin, June Gin, Excellia Tequila, La Quintinye Vermouth Royal and La Guilde du Cognac. Maison Villevert has won almost 160 international awards and distinctions including 35 gold medals. There have been a few temporary aircraft renames for PR purposes over the years. Claudia Shiffer renamed G-VSHY ‘Cloudia Nine’. We had ‘Spice One’ named by the Spice Girls and ‘Austin Powered’ a 747 named after the movie character Austin Powers.

So, first a bit about G'Vine Floraison. This gin, which you can tell apart from its partner by the green-tinted bottle, is neatly balanced in its aroma and impressively well-rounded in character. The grapes that make the base spirit are detectable on the palate, and complemented smoothly by a loud array of floral notes. The taste experience of G'Vine Floraison is finished off by a clean hint of lemon and ginger.The only aircraft that didn’t follow the pattern of G-Vxx was G-TKYO, Maiden Japan, one of our earliest 747s G?Vine Gin Nouaison is recognisable by the charcoal-tinted bottle. According to the producers, this colour is representative of the moment at which the grapes begin to grow. That?s also the reason for the name Nouaison, which means something like ?the birth of the grape?. This G?Vine Gin is marked by a soft floral aroma, in which notes of juniper and more fruity colourations are also to be recognised. Other botanicals in G?Vine Gin?s Nouaison include ginger, lemon, and cinnamon. It is in part thanks to this local mastery of the spirit’s production that gin has seen a resurgence in French culture. Relaunched in 1996, French gin has now permeated the globe among the most luxurious international spirits with the help of passionate and creative bartenders. Gin de France: a renewed passion The palate is complex and exciting as well. It’s a well integrated journey from start to finish that takes you on a roller coaster of different aromatics. First some floral notes capture the attention. Then juniper, ginger root and kaffir lime leaf open up to an unexpected anise, pepper and juniper mid-palate. Each bottle of G’Vine is numbered, not only to improve accountability, but also to fight against counterfeiting. With minimal inscriptions, the clarity and purity of the glass embodies that of the product.

It was in the heart of the 16th century family home Maison Villevert, where G’Vine was first dreamed up and is now produced. Unconventional by its very nature, it is a gin made of grapes instead of more common lower quality grains. It is from the imagination of master distiller Jean-Sébastien Robicquet, that this gin was brought to life by the untapped potential he saw in the grapes of his home in the Cognac region.Despite being known for its local wines and gastronomy, France has become one of the supreme purveyors of gin, a spirit of Anglo-Saxon origins. Though the base spirit is from distilled Ugni Blanc grapes, it’s the grape flowers that are perhaps most unique in G’vine Floraison’s grape profile. The flowers are harvested before they can fruit. They are then macerated and distilled, just as each of the other nine botanicals are— separately. They are then blended, and distilled one more time (all together now!) Tasting Notes In June 2018, Maison Villevert teamed up with Paragon Brands for distribution in the United Kingdom to guarantee G’Vine’s presence alongside Walsh Whiskey Distillery and Illva Saronno. G’Vine Floraison evolved straight from the imagination of Jean-Sébastien Robicquet in 2006 to the delighted palates of gin drinkers around the world. Hailed for its harmonious balance and bold divergence from established traditions, it has become a favorite of bartenders everywhere, and has been awarded by reputable industry specialists. Nouaison Gin is a taste of history, inspired from an original gin recipe from 1495, the oldest gin recipe known to exist, that used grape to create gin.
