The Distillerie Naud

NAUD brandies and spirits reflect the heritage of traditions passed down over five generations by the Naud family and the acronym "Noble and Unusual Distillery", characterising the estate's label's innovative and modern expression.

The NAUD brand is first and foremost a local anchorage in Charente-Maritime, where the family ancestor, Émile Perrier, founded in 1923 his first liqueur distillery in the heart of Pons. In 1936, Émile's son converted the 19th-century grain mill of Pinthiers into a cognac distillery. The Perrier  Distillery was born! Well hidden amongst the linden and willow trees and set upon the tiny island of Pinthiers, the old 19th-century limestone building, bordered by two arms of the River Seugne, has witnessed Emile Perrier's meticulous production of original liqueurs for decades. 

In the 1980s, the discreet but ingenious Jean-Michel Naud, Robert Perrier's son-in-law, inherited the family distillery and gave it and its productions a serious facelift! With the help of his children, Pierre and Clarisse, an oenologist deeply rooted in the Charente terroir, reignited the flames under the five traditional 2,500-litre Charente pot stills to produce small batches of unique eaux de vie and spirits featuring an elegant roundness.

On their 100-hectare estate, the family inheritors perpetuate their know-how as winegrowers, winemakers, wine merchants (five ageing cellars) and master distillers since 1923. As a result, excellence, tradition and passion combine in a modern and renewed spirit to offer us a selection of original and appealing spirits, including a gin, vodka, single cask rum, two spiced rums, and some fabulous cognacs.

In addition, the Naud Distillery Estate also houses a cosy cottage nestled between the willows of Pinthiers Island and lulled by the mill's water for a quiet weekend away in the countryside.

Original Distilled Gin

Specifications

44 % alc. vol. / 70 cl

Twelve botanicals have been selected to create a fresh and unique bouquet for the Original Distilled Gin Naud. Before being distilled in a double steam boiler, it infuses for 7 to 10 days to reveal its quintessential flavors.

NAUD’s Gin in is bold, combining juniper and Mediterranean bergamot. The nose is an exaltation of fragrant lime, grapefruit and freshly picked garden flowers, while the palate is lively and powerful, characterized by citrus fruit, menthol and spices (cubeb, cinnamon, cardamom). The dominant juniper gives way to bergamot on a fresh and persistent finish.
