Citadelle Gin Jardin d’Été

Citadelle Gin Jardin d’Été is a bright, floral, and citrusy French gin inspired by the lush summer gardens of Château de Bonbonnet in the Cognac region. Translating to “Summer Garden,” Jardin d’Été is a vibrant and refreshing take on Citadelle’s classic gin, infused with extra botanicals that evoke sun-drenched orchards and blooming herb gardens.

🍋 Key Botanicals

Alongside Citadelle’s original 19 botanicals, Jardin d’Été features four signature summer additions:

• Lemon peel

• Yuzu zest

• Melon flesh

• Whole orange

These ingredients add a naturally sweet and zesty dimension without overpowering the gin’s dry, juniper-forward structure.

👃 Nose

Fresh and aromatic with lemon blossom, grapefruit zest, cucumber, and soft juniper. There’s a breezy floral lift with hints of white flowers, melon rind, and orange peel.

👅 Palate

Smooth and vibrant, the palate offers layered notes of lemon verbena, ripe cantaloupe, coriander, and yuzu, with a crisp core of juniper and spice. The mouthfeel is soft and silky, with a touch of natural sweetness.

🔁 Finish

Light, clean, and refreshing with a lingering essence of citrus zest, floral herbs, and a whisper of peppery spice.

🍸 Best Ways to Enjoy

• Perfect in a classic Gin & Tonic with a lemon or orange twist

• Elevates a French 75, Tom Collins, or garden-style martini

• Refreshing sipped neat over ice with a sprig of mint or thyme

🌟 In Summary

Citadelle Jardin d’Été is a sunshine-filled gin that balances botanical elegance with juicy citrus charm. Whether you're lounging in the garden or crafting a cocktail indoors, it’s a gin that brings the brightness of summer to every glass. Lighthearted, versatile, and unmistakably French.
