G’Vine
Inspired by France, its tradition and creativity, Jean-Sebastian Robicquet created G’Vine – the original French gin crafted from grapes.
Created on a Maison Villevert, a 16th century family estate in the heart of Cognac country, G’Vine relies on the local and ancestral know-how of distillation to reinvent the gin category. It’s a smooth and round gin which evokes the very essence of springtime in the vineyards, when the air is filled with the fragrance of the blossoming flowers.
Authentic celebration of the unconventional, G’Vine inspires those who dare and innovate and, thanks to its uniqueness, this gin will surprise both connoisseurs and those new to gin.
Grapes are the perfect canvas to enhance the complexity and smoothness of the botanicals of G’Vine: ginger roots, cassia bark, liquorice, juniper berries, green cardamon, coriander, vine flower, lime, nutmeg and cubeb berries.
Among these, a new ingredient is the vine flower that embellishes the vineyard with its delicate fragrance only a few days a year. The essence of this hand-picked flower and those of aromatic plants are then assembled in a single copper still, dubbed Lily Fleur. This ultimate distillation brings G’Vine freshness and unparalleled roundness.
Just 10 years after its launch in 2006, it became the world’s third super-premium gin and truly embodies the creativity and the modern French art de vivre.
A multiple international competition prize-winner, G’Vine is a forerunner of the rise of premium gin in the 21st century.
Such quality and recognition stem from the use of grapes, which provide a smooth and full mouth feel, along with delicate and fresh grape flowers.
This combination makes G’Vine resolutely modern and seductive and it is now considered the epitome of elegance in the gin world.

Created in 2013 at the dawn of the vermouth renaissance, La Quintinye Vermouth Royal is the only vermouth made crafted from Pineau de Charentes and the infusions of 37 plants (including Artemisia).
La Quintinye Vermouth Royal pays tribute to the delicious and extravagant time of Versailles where abundance was celebrated during sumptuous feasts. Born in the era of the Charentes terroir, where Monsieur de La Quintinye was born, La Quintinye Vermouth Royal is a French vermouth with rich and opulent aromas. Its unique blend of Pineau des Charentes brings roundness and intensity to each of the three expressions.
The La Quintinye Vermouth Royal range shares a common aromatic palette of 12 botanicals:
Artemisia (essential to Vermouth), the vine flower (Maison Villevert signature), angelica and iris root (typical botanicals of the Charente) but also cardamom, quinine, citrus aurantium, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, liquorice and quassia amara.
Its name is a reference to the famous agronomist born in Chabanais in 1626, commissioned by King Louis XIV’s gardener, Le Nôtre, to design the Sun King’s botanical garden.
La Quintinye transports us to Versailles, to a world where joie de vivre and opulence reign supreme.
