Citadelle Jardin d'ete Flavored Gin

Citadelle Jardin d'Été is a flavored French gin built on 22 botanicals through a progressive infusion method — led by juniper, orange peel, whole lemons, yuzu zest, and melon Charentais — inspired by the garden at Château de Bonbonnet. Awarded gold at the International Spirits Challenge and double gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

Jardin d'Été ("summer garden") is a fresh, fruit-and-floral expression from the Citadelle range, made at Château de Bonbonnet in France's Cognac region. Its 22-botanical recipe is built around bright summer-garden flavors — citrus, melon, and flowers — over Citadelle's classic gin backbone, conceived as "a deliciously fragrant postcard of Southwestern France."

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Fresh and intense — juniper and citrus (yuzu, orange peel, candied lemon) with violet, fennel, soft spice and licorice
• Palate: Delicate and fresh — floral with a spicier, fruitier expression of tangerine, melon and cubeb, evolving into angelica, nutmeg, orris and star anise
• Finish: Very long, floral and fruity — citrus, almonds, cumin, savory and grains of paradise
