Description
“Nouaison” Gin, meaning “setting,” represents the metamorphosis stage of its star ingredient, the grape, from aromatic vine flower to luscious grape berry. Created as the choice to enhance classic cocktails, Nouaison Gin features 14 botanicals, among whom can be found Bergamot, Prune, Sandalwood, Java Pepper and Vetivera, which give the gin its unique, multi-dimensional profile.
This is a small batch product - for the final blend, a discontinuous 25HL pot still inspired from the traditional Charente-style shape is used to harmoniously blend all the components, batch after batch. Nouaison presents a new and unique gin character, unifying the unique smoothness of grape spirit with a spicy, exuberant profile, innovated in France.

Origins
G’Vine comes from Maison Villevert Master Distiller Jean-Sebastien Robicquet. Raised in vineyards between Bordeaux and Cognac, his lifelong passion is singular spirits projects, exemplified by his unique gins crafted in France’s Cognac region. Robicquet launched G’Vine in 2006, moving away from gin’s traditional grain base to a French grape spirit, believing grapes to be the core of Maison Villevert’s DNA. He was the first modern distiller to produce gin from a grapes selected specifically for distillation rather than simply using surplus wine production fruit.
