Cantarelle Gin

Cantarelle Gin de Provence is a gourmet, aromatic gin distilled entirely from Provence grapes, an unusual base for a gin in a category normally built on grain spirit. The region is far better known for wine and rosé than for gin, making Cantarelle an attempt to translate the local grape tradition into an entirely different category. The result is a softer, more rounded gin than most.

About Cantarelle Gin

By using grapes as its raw material, the same starting point as many French brandies, Cantarelle achieves a softer, more rounded base character, before juniper and other botanicals add the classic gin profile. For newcomers, it's a light, aromatic gin with an unusually soft base; for connoisseurs, an interesting experiment at the crossroads of wine and gin craft.

History & Background

The brand is based in Provence, a region far better known for wine and rosé than for gin, making Cantarelle an attempt to translate the region's grape tradition into a new category. By distilling the gin from Domaine grapes rather than grain, Cantarelle follows the same approach as many French brandies and cognacs, simply adding juniper and botanicals afterward. All aromas in the gin are 100% natural, underscoring the house's roots in the region's wine tradition.

Production & Style

Provence grapes are distilled into a base that's then redistilled with juniper and botanicals, using entirely natural aromas throughout the process.

Signature Style

Aromatic, Soft, French
A softer, more wine-like base tone from the grapes meets classic juniper, in a profile that sets it apart from grain-based gins.
