Adored by gin connoisseurs and novices alike, G'Vine Gin is a celebration of creativity, craft and brings a fresh viewpoint and an unparalleled taste to the luxury drinks segment. Traditionally unconventional, G'Vine Gin is a unique product of the lush Charente landscape, crafted from grapes, unlike most other gins, and enlivened with ten botanicals including the rare vine flower from our legendary vineyards.

creates a heady body and full mouth feel. Thanks to centuries-old expertise in the Charente region, the spirit is the perfect backdrop for the ten pure botanicals that bring delicacy and complexity to the blend. G’Vine Gin‘s hero botanical is the precious vine flower, which blossoms just once a year in mid-June, and exists for just a few days before maturing into a grape berry. It is handpicked as soon as it blooms to preserve its exhilarating and evocative fragrance for G'Vine Gin. There are two expressions of G‘Vine Gin de France: the fresh, smooth, rounded and
vibrantly floral G'Vine Floraison, and the intense, spicy, crisp and aromatic G’Vine Nouaison. G‘Vine Floraison captures the splendour of the vineyards at the end of spring, when the vine flowers’ enchanting aroma fills the air for a few fleeting days as it blossoms. It is best enjoyed as a sublime and sparkling gin and tonic, served on ice in a large wine glass and garnished with fresh white grapes to magnify its soft roundness. A bolder gin, G'Vine Nouaison is the embodiment of intensity and spiciness and captures the grapes metamorphosis from the aromatic flower to a luscious berry. It brings a new and sophisticated character to classic cocktails like the Martini and the Negroni.
