Maison Villevert releases new June Royal Pear & Cardamom gin in UK

Independent spirit producer Maison Villevert has added a new pear and cardamom spirit to its June by G’Vine collection of fruit gins.

Royal Pear & Cardamom marks the second addition to June by G’Vine, a collection of spirits that sees Maison Villevert’s G’Vine Floraison gin infused with natural aromas of fresh fruits and complementing aromatics.

G’Vine Floraison gin is made with grapes as opposed to traditional grains such as wheat and barley – which the brand says results in a “more fresh, smooth and rounded taste”.

The Royal Pear & Cardamom edition joins Wild Peach and Summer Fruits – the first expression in the collection that launched in 2019.

According to Maison Villevert, the spirit is ideal to drink on its own over ice, as well as in short or long drinks.

June Royal Pear & Cardamom gin will launch this summer as part of an exclusive in-store retail agreement with Booths supermarkets for £25 per 50cl bottle.

“The size offers their customers a high-quality spirit at an excellent price point for a drink ideal for summer to consume at home but also as an idea gift to summer parties, picnics and BBQs,” said Chris Jones, managing director of Paragon, the UK distributor for Maison Villevert.

Pete Newton, spirits buyer at Booths, added: “We are delighted to offer our customers this unique gin that captures the taste of summer, independently and expertly produced in France.”
