Gin
Gin is a refined spirit distilled from cereals, then flavored with juniper berries and various botanicals. Each region adds its own particular touch, with gins of varying aromatic profiles. Historically, countries such as Great Britain and the Netherlands have played a key role in its popularization, but today France also stands out with innovative distilleries, notably in Languedoc-Roussillon and Champagne, reinventing this classic with local ingredients.
Notable productions include Gin Parcel, an artisanal gin produced by Archibald Distillation, reflecting a unique savoir-faire with a selection of local botanicals. In Languedoc-Roussillon, Distillerie du Petit Grain stands out for its elegant gins, produced with regional ingredients. Meanwhile, Champagne based Conspiration Spiritueux offers refined gins, drawing on the richness of the Champagne region to create subtle, sophisticated flavors. These houses demonstrate the diversity and creativity of French craft gin production.
