Le Gin 13 is a gin spirit for wine lovers inspired by the Rhône Valley wine region and made with organic grapes and hand-selected botanicals. “As a gin enthusiast, I drew inspiration from my home, the Rhône, to craft gin tailored for wine aficionados,” said Romain Pitaud, “Le Gin 13 embodies the concept of terroir through carefully selected botanicals, a deep connection to our winemaking heritage and by highlighting the differing characteristics in vintaged gin.”
This complex gin uses orange peel to convey the aroma of Grenache, a grape commonly used in Châteauneuf-de-Pape, and pepper is used to emulate the peppery kick of Syrah. The gin gets its name from the 13 ingredients included in the spirit.
Le Gin 13 is set to be available across the United States in Fall 2024.
