Description
Citadelle Rouge Gin:
Born in 1996, Citadelle Gin is the pioneer of craft gin worldwide. Since its creation, Citadelle has received numerous awards for the quality and unique character of its gins, becoming the benchmark for exceptional craft gins on an international scale.
Located in the southwest of France, just minutes from the town of Cognac, Château de Bonbonnet is the home of Citadelle Gin, situated across from our juniper fields. It was these very juniper berries that inspired our creator, Alexandre Gabriel, in 1996 to create Citadelle Gin, making it the pioneer of craft gins in France and around the world.
To preserve the virtues of the juniper berries and ensure the lemon zest releases all its flavors, both the timing and infusion temperatures must be precise. Through our patented “progressive infusion” process, our gin reaches its perfect balance.
Citadelle is the first gin in the world to patent its progressive infusion technique with decreasing alcohol levels, a process used for Citadelle Original gin. This unique method adjusts both the maceration time and alcohol strength for each of the 19 botanicals in the recipe, allowing the flavors to be perfectly balanced. It’s a true artisan’s approach, designed to preserve the full organoleptic qualities of each berry, spice, and citrus, capturing their ultimate fragrance in every drop.
Today, we proudly operate nine hand-restored copper stills that slowly distill our Citadelle Gin. Additionally, the Citadelle Gin distillery features an Orangerie, home to a diverse array of lemon and orange trees used in the production of our gins. We also cultivate various aromatic plants for experimenting with future innovations.
Citadelle Rouge, infused with delicious cranberry, raspberry, blueberry, blackcurrant, and rhubarb, offers a delightful journey through time. Experience the true essence of natural flavor. Citadelle Rouge is fresh, crystal-clear, and aromatic. This dry gin is built on the foundation of Citadelle Gin’s 19 original botanicals, enhanced by juicy, tangy berries and the distinct sharpness of rhubarb. Fruity and completely natural, this essence of red fruits swirls in the mouth and remains clear in the glass.
