Citadelle 0.0: Maison Ferrand debuts alcohol-free expression featuring all 19 botanicals

Thirty years after the launch that redefined the French gin landscape, Maison Ferrand has officially announced its foray into the non-alcoholic market with Citadelle 0.0. Distributed in Italy by Compagnia dei Caraibi, this new expression arrives after four years of intensive development, aimed at flawlessly replicating the aromatic profile of the original spirit.

The Art of Hydro-Distillation

Unlike many competitors in the category that rely on dealcoholization, Citadelle has opted for hydro-distillation. This technique is borrowed from the ancient art of perfumery—a craft for which France is globally renowned.

The formulation utilizes the same 19 botanicals found in traditional Citadelle Gin, bolstered by natural extracts to compensate for the absence of alcohol and ensure a lingering finish on the palate. The resulting organoleptic profile features:

The Finish: A distinctive peppery kick that provides structure and defines the product’s recognizable personality.

Core notes: Juniper, citrus, and delicate spices.

Sugar-Free and Gluten-Free

Citadelle 0.0 enters the booming non-alcoholic spirits segment, targeting consumers who prioritize alcohol-free lifestyles without sacrificing the ritual of a well-crafted cocktail. From a nutritional standpoint, the distillate contains no added sugars and is classified as both vegan and gluten-free.

Serving Suggestions:

• Classic Cocktails: Ideal for alcohol-free iterations of a Martini or Negroni.
• The Signature Serve: A refreshing Highball paired with premium tonic water.

The bottle is set to retail at €24.90.
