Normandy is one of the most famous destinations in France and in the world, most notably for its architecture, historic D-Day Landing Beaches, fresh-from-the-harbour seafood or cheeses like the famous camembert, symbol or ambassador of the country everywhere.

Areas near the Seine (the former Upper Normandy region) contain a higher concentration of industry. Normandy is a significant cider-producing region, and also produces calvados, a distilled cider or apple brandy.

Located in Caen, Normandy, “C’est Nous” is a micro-distillery established in 2016 by a French sommelier and a lover of English gin.

To make their premium gin, the distillery is using the highest quality French wheat alcohol. This pure, neutral alcohol gives the perfect base for the botanicals.

The distillation is handmade in copper alembics. By distilling in small batches, the distillery is able to create a texture and finesse that is only possible in smaller alembics.

The final step is to bottle, wax and label all by hand.
