ORGANIC GIN NORMINDIA

Normindia Gin – Organic:

What about an organic spirit?
Organic label, Demeter, Terra Vitis, ISO 14000, Ecocert … many are the mentions, certifications that attest that a product is organic or at least respectful of the environment.

When can we talk about an organic spirit?
By definition, this implies that the ingredients are organically grown and meet the specifications of the certification that the producer displays on its label.

Transparency and traceability are the key words!
For this new vintage of Norman gin, Normindia returns with a recipe that is still artisanal but this time 100% organic!
Juniper berries, orange, lemon, coriander, cloves, ginger, cinnamon and apple are all 100% organic.
Distilled in the small traditional column heated over an open fire, Normindia Bio is a resolutely gourmand gin. Its nose opens with floral notes, juniper and orange peel. The mouth, ample and greedy, confirms the aromas of the nose. Citrus and apple flavors evolve into spicier notes that stretch to a finish of cinnamon and candied ginger.

NOSE: juniper berries, orange, lemon, apple

PALATE: citrus, apples, coriander

THE DISTILLERY:
The story of Normindia begins during the long journey of more than 6 months in India of Pierre, owner of the Domaine du Coquerel, passionate about travel and discovery. It is in the ceaseless buzz of the cities he crosses and in the course of his encounters that he becomes passionate about this country, the richness of its culture and the diversity of flavors and spices used in the local gastronomy.
On his return to France, he had the idea of associating his Normandy roots with the dynamism of this country he so much enjoyed discovering. After a few months of research, it is in an old family book dating from 1765 entitled “La Chymie du Goût et de l’Odorat” approved by Louis XV – King of France, that he discovers a recipe for a distillate of juniper. The marriage of cultures will be sealed by a Gin, a spirit that lends itself perfectly to the combination of flavors of these two countries so far from each other. Then begins a long work of research and development, then selection of spices and botanicals that will be used to give this Gin a unique taste. Then comes the first maceration and micro-distillation in the laboratory. During this delicate stage, Pierre surrounds himself with a team of seasoned flavourists, oenologists and master distillers. Two years of work, testing, tasting to arrive at a balanced recipe in which the fifteen ingredients are meticulously dosed and the macerate is then distilled in a small traditional column of Calvados. Normindia was born, a fresh and fruity gin reminiscent of youth.
