GIN FDV Côte-Rôtie

The GIN FDV Côte-Rôtie is the fourth vintage of the Rhone distillery. It is a gourmet gin distilled, aged in Côte-Rôtie barrels and bottled at the Distillerie du Rhône.

Like the other vintages and the know-how of the Distillerie du Rhone, it represents their philosophy and their objective by its conception and its taste. The distillery highlights the terroir of the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region with its wine culture, especially the Côte-Rôtie appellation, which is one of the jewels of the Northern Rhône Valley.

For the FDV GIN it was important for them to talk about the wine region and to have a gin with the aromas of the Syrah grape. Thanks to 28 botanicals, they recomposed the aromas of this grape variety and then aged it in Côte-Rôtie barrels. All 28 botanicals, fruits and flowers come from the region and from France, by wild plant pickers and producers.

Each botanical is prepared in an independent and different way to extract the best before a slow distillation and a very concentrated steam infusion. Thanks to the 28 ingredients and a very intense infusion technique followed by an aging in barrel, this gin is very generous, fruity, spicy and innovative.

We find notes of juniper, strawberry, violet, cherry, oak, eucalyptus, mint, pepper, and other typical wine aromas of Côte-Rôtie…
Each barrel is bottled separately in “single barrel” with its own degree. This intense and rich tasting gin can be enjoyed perfectly dry as a Whisky, Rum, Cognac, or in a cocktail.
