JCB Gin Jean-Charles Boisset (75cl)

JCB Gin is a French gin from Jean-Charles Boisset, made in Burgundy. It starts from a grape spirit of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay selected in the Côte-d'Or, fermented in French oak barrels and distilled in copper. The spirit is then infused with juniper, roses, coriander and the extracts of 44 botanicals. Thirty of these are certified organic plants from the biodynamically farmed gardens of the Boisset estate, among them dandelion, chamomile, lemon balm, calendula, borage, yarrow and honeysuckle. On the nose it shows sunflower, lilac and verbena. The palate carries white pepper and caper berries, with violets running through the herbs.
