Citadelle - Gin de France

Citadelle Original Gin is the ultimate French gin. Dry and structured, it finds its balance between finesse and intensity, developing a voluptuous and extremely complex citrus fragrance. The nose recalls delicate scents of fresh flowers, supported by more pronounced citrus, herbaceous notes, and a hint of juniper. The palate remains particularly refreshing, with a hint of spice and a more exotic finish, with good length on pepper, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Perfectly balanced, this elegant gin is smooth and long on the palate, with a remarkable wealth of flavors. Since 1996, it has been a true signature of the company's expertise.
