G Vine
G’Vine is a French brand that produces innovative and original Gin. The headquarters is located in the Charentes region, near Cognac, and the Villevert house is an ancient family domaine dating back to the 16th century. While maintaining a strong attachment to the oldest traditions, it has been able to look to the future with a visionary spirit. The Gin G’Vine was born from a happy intuition of the master distiller Jean-Sébastien Robicquet, who wanted to try to create a distillate based on vine flower. It was a real challenge, driven by the desire to create something new that no one had ever thought of making before. It is a refined and precious Gin, of great purity and expressive finesse, capable of conquering at the first sip.
The idea of using the vine flower to make a Gin is a rather bold and unconventional choice, allowing for a unique and unparalleled tasting experience. The vine flower, in fact, is very delicate and appears only for a few days. Moreover, it is also very precious, because it turns into a bunch and collecting it means greatly reducing the harvest of grapes at harvest time. Its natural fragility can then be affected by late frosts or hail, which can easily compromise its integrity. That’s why it is considered a true luxury, a Gin that is made with techniques that are a balance between tradition and innovation.
Production begins with the manual harvesting of vine flowers, a long job, but one that cannot be mechanized in any way due to the delicacy of the flowers. The base alcohol comes from the distillation of wine from the Ugni Blanc grape, which is also used to produce Cognac, in order to ensure a soft, fine, and elegant taste. The distillation of G’Vine comes from the ancient savoir-faire in Cognac distillation. The stills, made in the Charentes style, allow for the distillation of small quantities of absolute excellence and extraordinary finesse. The botanicals and spices that make up the aromatic base of the Gin macerate separately in the alcohol of the vine flowers before proceeding to the final distillation. It is a Gin that well expresses the proverbial French refinement, harmonious, balanced, fragrant, and of extraordinary expressive purity.
