Gin Le Parfumeur: the perfect alchemy of perfumery and distillation
AN ORIGINAL CREATION BY HERVÉ GAMBS AND THE DISTILLERIE DES TERRES ROUGES
After a career as a plant designer, Hervé Gambs discovered the world of French Haute Parfumerie, which he revisits in a precise and instinctive way. This extraordinary creator creates each fragrance as a journey to the heart of the plants he selects for their uniqueness, to discover their asperities and the unsuspected subtleties that characterize them and give them their beauty.
After a year’s work with the Distillerie des Terres Rouges teams, the perfect alchemy between perfumery and distillation was born. A bottle imagined as an ode to French perfumery of the Belle Époque and Art Nouveau periods…and an intense gin composed of 7 botanicals.
“For this original creation, I invite you to experience an experiential journey to the heart of raw botanicals. Created like a perfume, Le Parfumeur gin reveals the first notes of juniper berries and mandarin zest, which bring an intense freshness, then quickly reveals the middle notes of bitter almond and ginger root, which suggest a subtle bitterness and spicy sensation. Finally, discover the sensual, bewitching base notes of Centifolia rose, cocoa bean and cinnamon bark.”
THE ART OF DISTILLATION
Each spirit used to make the gin is distilled independently to preserve the intensity of each botanical. Distillation takes place in small batches, in water baths in Charentais stills at the Distillerie des Terres Rouges.
This slow, low-temperature distillation preserves all the delicacy of the aromatics. The distillates are blended with wine alcohol, resulting from the distillation of the wine lees, and add nobility to the product thanks to their roundness on the palate.
TASTING: HOW TO ENJOY OUR GIN?
To appreciate all the subtleties of our Gin Le Parfumeur, we recommend you enjoy it as a Gin Tonic, accompanied by a tonic with fine, light bubbles.
You can also add a dried rose bud or tangerine zest to your Gin Tonic.
