• Wild raspberries (rare in the Alsace) are sourced from a small grower in Romania; shipped to the distillery within 48 hours

• The resulting eau-de-vie is distilled once on a Charente-style copper pot still
• After distillation, the eau-de-vie is placed in stainless steel vats for 6–8 years. These vats are kept in an outdoor courtyard and the opening covered in mesh so that the spirit may blow off unwanted esters and benefit from fluctuation in temperature.
• Reduced with spring water approximately one year before bottling
• Freshly smushed raspberries and raspberry leaves are complemented by cassis & red currant on the nose. The palate displays big florality with dimensions of fresh rose petal and rose stems. These green, stemmy notes move on to the finish with subtle frangipane and pink sea salt

Producer Description 

Fully respect each vintage’s respective terroir and ensure its perfect expression.
No blending of domains or vintages in order to preserve the specificities,
No « reduction » that would dilute the alcoholic or aromatic strength and the nuances of the terroir by adding « petites eaux » in order to not betray the typicalities.

Each Bas-Armagnac is strictly itself, with the name of the domain of origin, its vintage and the bottling date which tells its real age as eaux-de-vie stop aging once bottle.

The color of this 1996 vintage is gold with pretty brown highlights. Nose: The nose is very fruity carried by notes of quince, fig, orange jam and verbena. Tannins on the palate that are still young but very delicate. Finale: A beautiful length in the mouth characterizes this Darroze 1996 Armagnac.

One of the most classic French aperitifs is a pour of gentiane liqueur on the rocks with a squeeze of lemon. Salers is the oldest gentian liqueur of the Massif Central, birthplace to this style of product. It distinguishes itself with a pure, firm, rustic earthy profile. Unlike its larger rivals, Salers is less sweet and does not add artificial yellow color, revealing a beautiful natural straw color.

Enjoy with ice and lemon, lemonade, in the Blond Negroni with gin and Dolin blanc, or as an earthy base note in a variety of cocktails. 

The finesse of the liqueur comes from the meticulous distillation of cocoa beans from Venezuela or Ivory Coast and a vanilla infusion. A final touch to add originality to this recipe by the Marie Brizard Liqueur Master: a touch of spice. Enjoy neat on the rocks or in cocktails. Producer Description.

The Gardener Gin by Brad Pitt

A PIECE OF ART

In a single bottle, The Gardener captures the soul of the French Riviera. Beau & Bon. Like a work of art, The Gardener is a quest for perfection, dreamed up by friends who share a dedication to art and craft. It expresses light and shadow, sea and sky, earth and air. Using his know how of distilling traditional London Dry Gin, Tom created The Gardener with a modern twist.

To achieve his vision of a perfect gin, he chose each of The Gardener’s ingredients with an uncompromising sense of quality. Tom’s recipe is a unique creation distilled with fresh citruses – bitter orange Bigarade, sweet orange and pink grapefruit – grown locally in the heart of the French Riviera.

Fresh and soft, subtle and pure, The Gardener is a study in elegance and harmony—the very image of nature itself. This 42% London Dry Gin inspired by the French Riviera is 100% organic and 100% French, the result of a creation from Charente. The base of this gin is juniper, angelica, liquorice and coriander. The uniqueness of this spirit lies in the (fresh) citrus fruits selected: Bigarade orange, sweet orange and grapefruit (all three grown in the heart of the French Riviera, in Vallauris).

Certifications:  EU Organic

About The Brand:

A triptych of sky, land, and fire, The Gardener and its creators embody the elements of nature required to create a spirit that captures the French Riviera. From this meeting of like minds, each with exceptional skill, came a new idea. A dreamer, a visionary and a man deeply connected to nature, Brad desired to create a spirit reflective of the place with which he fell in love—a spirit as inspired and iconic as the atmosphere from which it was conceived. The pursuit of beauty and perfection led him to imagine The Gardener.

Expert Review

Jason Wilson of Vinous writes 96 Points | Falling between VS and VSOP level, this four- to five-year-old is light golden and simple. It’s fruity on the nose and a little grapey, and on the palate, there’s a lot of creamy vanilla and a touch of spice. Not particularly a cocktail brandy due to its price. It is what it is. 

Producer Description

A very subtle, aromatic Cognac. Its subtle vanilla bouquet also has floral overtones of roses and violets, leading into hints of prunes and apricots. Pierre Ferrand Ambre is superbly balanced on the palate. The aromas found on the bouquet linger on the palate for several minutes.
