G'Vine Nouaison Gin Limited Edition

G'Vine Nouaison Gin Limited Edition is an artisanal craft spirit produced by Maison Villevert in the Cognac region of France. Distilled in small copper pot stills from a neutral spirit base derived from Ugni Blanc grapes, this limited edition captures the "nouaison" stage when green grape berries bud on the vine. Its botanical recipe combines rare vine flowers with juniper, cardamom, ginger, cassia bark, nutmeg, cubeb berries, licorice, lime, and coriander. Bottled at a higher proof than the standard flagship release, it delivers a bold, rich, and spicy profile designed as a sophisticated French alternative to traditional dry gin.

Food Pairing: Charcuterie with cured meats, grilled shellfish, duck pate, rich French cheeses (such as Comte or Brie), and dark chocolate desserts.

Tasting Notes: Crystal clear in appearance with a rich, soft, and thick mouthfeel.

Nose: Intensely aromatic up front, featuring warm baking spices, cardamom, and fresh ginger, underlaid by soft grape fruitiness, subtle floral vine blossom, and piney juniper.

Palate: Rich, full-bodied, and complex, opening with bold juniper, citrus zest, and zesty ginger spice, balancing into sweet grape spirit warmth, licorice root, and cracked pepper.

Finish: Long, warm, and dry with lingering notes of wood spice, toasted nuts, citrus peel, and a crisp, peppery botanical trail.

Serve: Serve over ice topped with premium Indian tonic water, garnished with fresh grape halves or a slice of ginger, or build into a classic French Negroni, Martinez, or Last Word.
