Poetic and beautifully balanced by its progressive infusion method, Jardin d’Été is a new olfactory journey. This aromatic choir is composed of 22 botanicals, the main ones being juniper berries, orange peel, whole lemons, yuzu zest and melon Charentais.
This fresh and original creation is inspired by our garden of our Château de Bonbonnet.
Tucked away in a corner of the park behind the château, you’ll find Debbie’s garden, filled with fragrant flowers, fruits and herbs. That’s all it took to get the ball rolling and find the perfect balance for this edible garden. Think of it as a deliciously fragrant postcard of Southwestern France.
Look out, Citadelle Jardin d’Été is already sporting the vibrant colors of its first medals:
– Awarded gold medal at the International Spirits Challenge one of the largest spirits competition in the world.
– Double gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
