Now, Brad Pitt, the Perrin Family – producers of Château Miraval and long-term owners of Château de Beaucastel in Châteauneuf-du-Pape – and master distiller Tom Nichol have paid tribute to this glamorous spot with the Gardener Gin, which made its big debut at the re-opening of the Carlton Hotel during the 2023 Cannes Film Festival this May.
After amassing more than 40 years of experience in the art of making gin – he made his name at Tanqueray and received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Gin Guild in 2015 – Nichol has now created the ultimate London Dry Gin.
Like a rare organic grand cru, with a unique, intense taste, the gin is made from wheat in copper stills, and the spirit rests on a canvas of juniper, liquorice, angelica, and coriander with fresh and dry citruses: pink grapefruit, bright lemon and the yin and yang of sweet and bitter orange from the Cap d’Antibes area.
