G’Vine embodies the French way of life and love of magnificent quality. Therefore, it is not only an ode to French grapes, but a love letter to ten other ingredients found in the greatest reaches of the globe. Each of the ten aromatic plants and spices are sourced from the greatest producers in the world, all coming together in the Cognac region with their local vine blossom for an elegantly balanced composition. A product born of France and enjoyed by the world The palate is complex and exciting as well. It’s a well integrated journey from start to finish that takes you on a roller coaster of different aromatics. First some floral notes capture the attention. Then juniper, ginger root and kaffir lime leaf open up to an unexpected anise, pepper and juniper mid-palate. The vine flower is a summer bloom that actually tastes like the season, which is why our gin lends so well to the concept of 'making summer last longer'," adds Alexandre Robicquet, North America Market Manager. But unlike the 1495 Gins, G’vine Floraison has both feet in the modern day. Though distilled from a base of grape, it’s designed to appeal to modern sensibilities. The folks behind G’vine are no stranger to the history of gin and grape-spirit-based-gins. In fact they are behind the 2014 re-creation of a 1495 gin recipe discovered in a Dutch text ( yes, the GIN is IN has reviewed it).

Each bottle of G’Vine is numbered, not only to improve accountability, but also to fight against counterfeiting. With minimal inscriptions, the clarity and purity of the glass embodies that of the product. Though the base spirit is from distilled Ugni Blanc grapes, it’s the grape flowers that are perhaps most unique in G’vine Floraison’s grape profile. The flowers are harvested before they can fruit. They are then macerated and distilled, just as each of the other nine botanicals are— separately. They are then blended, and distilled one more time (all together now!)

Maison Villevert chose a bold green color for G’Vine Floraison’s bottle. It represents the Cognac land from which the gin is born, and alludes to the audacity and creativity of our master distiller, Jean-Sébastien Robicquet. G’Vine: vine blossoms and grapesEarlier this year, Jean-Sébastien Robicquet, was the 9th (and the first French) person to be honored with the accolade of being inducted into The Gin Hall of Fame. If you want to be historically factual— and you know that I love getting into historical details— the earliest juniper flavored spirits were distilled from a base of wine. In other words, grapes. Just like G’vine Floraison. Gin enjoyed a period of prosperity and popularity in Europe from the 1920s to the 1960s, followed by a drastic drop in consumption up until the early 2000s. Since then, however, some avant-garde distillers have made it their mission to produce locally developed French gins with radical flavors. Counted among them, our Maison Villevert! And like Kid A— it’s one of the greatest beginnings in all of gin. Lime, a delicate but somewhat un-place-able floral note, and a dash of juniper so you know it’s a gin. It’s a left turn, sure. But it’s a really exciting one.

Firstly, it’s distilled from the Ugni Blanc or Trebbiano grape. This grape is one of the most widely planted in the world. It has a very high yield, which makes it great for table white wines. It’s even used in the production of balsamic vinegar. But those high yields make it especially attractive to those who distill. So Cognac and Armagnac love the Ugni Blanc and use it quite widely. The color is also chosen for the ingredient at the heart of G’Vine: the grape. Green is the color of the vines that grow throughout the Petite and Grande Champagne regions, that bear our vine blossoms in June, and our grapes in September. The transparency of the glass bottle reflects the fresh flavor of our delicately perfumed gin. Not just a green bottleIt is in part thanks to this local mastery of the spirit’s production that gin has seen a resurgence in French culture. Relaunched in 1996, French gin has now permeated the globe among the most luxurious international spirits with the help of passionate and creative bartenders. Gin de France: a renewed passion In April 2018, G’Vine partnered with the Australian distributors Swift + Moor. They share a common philosophy and desire to bring innovative products to Australia’s booming market for craft spirits. After 11 years in at LVMH and William Pitters, Jean Sébastien Robicquet pooled his technical competencies and his business acumen to form in EWG in 2001, now named Maison Villevert. Based in Villevert, a 16th century family manor in Cognac, Robicquet now freely and energetically expresses his vision of the spirits universe by creating contemporary and ultra-premium products, with one motto: “Grapes ennobling the spirits category”. Onto the next G'Vine Gin: G'Vine Nouaison. This charcoal tinged bottle nods to the moment at which the grapes begin to emerge from the vine blossom, for this is the colour they then take on. Hence also the name; nouaison refers in French to the period at which the fruit first begins to emerge. This G'Vine Gin is floral and soft on the nose, where juniper and a few fruity notes are also to be detected. G'Vine Nouaison also counts cinnamon, lemon, and ginger among its other botanicals.

Maison Villevert has won almost 160 international awards and distinctions including 35 gold medals. So, first a bit about G'Vine Floraison. This gin, which you can tell apart from its partner by the green-tinted bottle, is neatly balanced in its aroma and impressively well-rounded in character. The grapes that make the base spirit are detectable on the palate, and complemented smoothly by a loud array of floral notes. The taste experience of G'Vine Floraison is finished off by a clean hint of lemon and ginger. Nouaison Gin is a taste of history, inspired from an original gin recipe from 1495, the oldest gin recipe known to exist, that used grape to create gin. There have been a few temporary aircraft renames for PR purposes over the years. Claudia Shiffer renamed G-VSHY ‘Cloudia Nine’. We had ‘Spice One’ named by the Spice Girls and ‘Austin Powered’ a 747 named after the movie character Austin Powers. The other botanicals are sourced from all over the world and include juniper berries, ginger root, liquorice, cassia bark, green cardamom, coriander, cubeb berries, nutmeg and lime (fresh whole-fruit). These are sorted into four groups according to flavour profiles, such as sweet or spicy botanicals, then each group is independently steeped in grape spirit for two to five days before the four infusions are separately distilled in small bespoke pot stills.
