First Impressions
Gin d'Azur Citron d'Été is the summer lemon-forward twist on the classic Provençal gin — inspired by the golden hour sunset over Gigaro Beach in St Tropez. Menton lemon peel with lavender, Camargue salt and Provençal herbs. Distilled at Merlet in Cognac.
Tasting
The nose is bright Menton lemon with lavender and earthy aniseed. On the palate, lemon brightness with lavender and Provençal herbs — Camargue salt adding coastal character. The finish is refreshingly dry with lemon and Mediterranean warmth.
The Bottom Line
Gin d'Azur Citron d'Été earns a 7 for the French Riviera summer captured in lemon — the golden hour inspiration is perfectly expressed. The Camargue salt adds a coastal touch that connects the lemon to the sea. Perfectly balanced for spritzes on a Mediterranean terrace.
