Comte de Grasse 44°N Gin

Comte de Grasse 44°N Gin captures the Côte d’Azur in a glass — luminous citrus, sea-breeze freshness and blooms in full sun. Distilled in Grasse, the world’s perfume capital, it blends juniper with mimosa, cade and Mediterranean herbs, using cutting-edge aroma-preserving techniques. Layered, elegant and unmistakably Riviera, this is modern French luxury — as striking to behold as it is to sip.

Tasting Notes & Experience

Zesty lemon and grapefruit lift from the glass with a saline whiff of the Med and a hint of mimosa. The palate blooms with jasmine, rose and bitter-orange marmalade, threaded by herbaceous angelica and samphire. A gentle prickle of pepper warms into a long, silky finish where citrus, florals and a sweet-musky echo linger.

Cocktail Pairings

A Rosé Champagne Martini gilds its floral-citrus heart in celebratory sparkle. A Negroni turns Riviera-bitter with bright marmalade lift.
