Christian Drouin Gin Le Gin Pira 0.7 L is an elegant premium French gin from Maison Christian Drouin, part of the renowned Norman family distillery best known for its Calvados. This expression, named Pira, places the spotlight on the aromatic Domfront pears—a classic local fruit from Normandy—combined with carefully selected gin botanicals to create a distinctive harmony of freshness, fruit depth, and aromatic complexity.
Aroma: expressive and fresh, with dominant notes of white fruits (especially pear), a gentle spiciness from black pepper, and subtle floral accents of iris, all resting on a classic juniper base.
Taste: smooth, elegant, and well balanced—fruity pear sweetness complemented by a defined gin character with hints of vanilla, lemon, and light spice, seamlessly integrated without overpowering the gin.
Finish: clean and refreshing, with lingering pear sweetness and a refined herbal-spice aroma that leaves a pleasant, complex aftertaste.
Serving suggestions:
Perfect for a Gin & Tonic garnished with a thin slice of pear or elderflower. Also excellent served over ice or in cocktails where its aromatic fruit nuances can fully shine.
