Meet the Makers of C'est Nous Gin

We are delighted to present to you the French gin from our August 2019 Gin Box, an award-winning product from the micro-distillery C'est Nous, based near Caen in Normandy.

The Distillery It's Us was created at the end of 2016 by Julie Le Roux, a French sommelier, and David Granville, an English gin enthusiast. They both lived and worked in London and enjoyed the gin scene in that city. When they settled in France, they noticed a lack of artisanal micro-distilleries, so they decided to start making their own spirits.

Thanks to their experience in the hospitality world, David and Julie understand that everyone has different tastes. Their sole goal is to create adaptable spirits, allowing you to enjoy them however you like, whether neat, with a mixer, or in cocktails.

For this reason, the distillery not only produces distilled gin, but also makes fruit-flavored gins called Ginfusions, vodka and coffee liqueur, called Cold Brew and Limoncello. 

It's Us Gin is made from neutral alcohol derived from French wheat. After a prolonged maceration of juniper berries, orange and lemon peels, angelica roots, coriander, and a few other plants, the alcohol is slowly distilled in small batches (300 bottles) in a copper pot still, to create an aromatic and fragrant gin.

Since the release of C'est Nous Gin, the distillery has been delighted to win bronze and silver medals at the International Spirit Challenge and also Best French Gin at the World Gin Awards 2019, 2020 and 2023!
