A beautifully aromatic Burgundian Gin. Distilled from Chardonnay grapes in century-old and wood-fired double Burgundy stills. After macerating with juniper, coriander, blackcurrant bud, lemon zest, grapefruit zest, sansho and cardamom, the spirit is then distilled a third time to extract the delicate perfumes, followed by aging in demi-johns. Djinn has the complexity of chardonnay, the might of juniper and the elegance of citrus. It is best to drink pure, slightly chilled, or with a dash of sparkling water or tonic.

The wines of Guillemot-Michel age like very few white Burgundies. Jasper Morris MW reports in his reviews of Burgundy that following a tasting of 30 vintages of ‘Quintaine’ from Domaine Guillemot-Michel, that the 1999 and 2001 still taste very young! Morris sums up:” These are brilliant wines which work in so many different styles refined, pure, complex, lush and botrytis-affected. This is what Vir-Cless can offer, especially at the Cless end and particularly Quintaine, when in the hands of master practitioners such as the Guillemot-Michel family, pioneers of biodynamics in the region. Congratulations to both generations Pierrette and Marc, Sophie and Gautier. The domaine continues in excellent hands.”
