Citadelle Jardin d'été Gin (70cl, 41.5%)

A French flavoured gin from Citadelle, inspired by the lush gardens of Château de Bonbonnet. Based on Citadelle's 19-botanical recipe, it is infused with natural Charentais melon, whole lemons, yuzu zest and orange peel. It is crafted in small batches using copper pot stills, with Maison Ferrand in Cognac behind the brand. The nose has bright bursts of fresh melon and yuzu, delicate floral whispers and a soft juniper backbone. The palate is juicy and refreshing, with Charentais melon, citrus zest and subtle spice from the 19 botanicals, wrapped in gentle sweetness. The finish is crisp and clean, with lingering citrus and faint herbal elegance.
