Light, fresh and perfectly balanced, it offers a premium alternative for gin lovers looking for taste authenticity.

Citadelle 0%: The spirit of French gin, minus the alcohol

The know-how of Maison Ferrand is now expressed in an alcohol-free version that does not compromise on taste. Citadelle Vive is an innovative spirit drink, designed for those seeking the aromatic complexity of a great gin while favoring light and responsible tasting. Made in Charente, this creation benefits from the same distillation requirements as the original recipe.

A technical feat of distillation

To obtain this intense aromatic profile without the usual alcoholic base, Citadelle uses a specific distillation method. The botanicals are carefully selected and distilled to extract the quintessence of their essential oils. This process preserves the texture and persistence in the mouth that the brand is renowned for, offering a sophisticated alternative to classic spirits.

A complex and refreshing aromatic palette

Citadelle Vive is characterized by a remarkable balance between liveliness and roundness. We find the DNA of the house with a marked presence of juniper berries, a fundamental ingredient which gives all its depth to the drink.

The taste notes unfold with precision:

• Juniper brings this woody and resinous structure so sought after.
• Lemon and Yuzu offer a dynamic attack and immediate freshness.
• Pepper and Cardamom provide a slightly spicy finish that simulates the warmth of the traditional spirit.

More broadly, this novelty is part of a reflection on uses. Citadelle 0.0 is aimed both at consumers who choose to do without alcohol occasionally or for the long term, as well as at fans of the brand wishing to alternate, without giving up a constructed aromatic experience. The claimed affiliation with Citadelle Original and Citadelle Jardin d’Été illustrates this desire for continuity rather than rupture.

The Estate
Juniper berries gave spirits creator Alexandre Gabriel an idea: to become the pioneer of French gin. It was in 1996, the project was crazy, but Citadelle Gin was born! Citadelle is a castle gin. Yes, like the wines of the great châteaux. It is at the castle that juniper berries are harvested to make French gin. It is also at the castle that we find the distillery and it is always at the castle that the team meets to work and have good times.
