Importer Quintessential Releases Le Gin 13
Quintessential, a family-owned and operated import, marketing and sales company exclusively representing family-owned wineries from around the world, proudly announced its entry into the craft spirits world with the debut of Le Gin 13 from the famed Châteauneuf-du-Pape producer of Les Cailloux and Cuvée Centenaire, André Brunel.
Crafted from organic grapes and featuring 13 hand-selected botanicals, including juniper, coriander and rosemary, Le Gin 13 offers a harmonious blend of classic gin flavors with a Rhône twist.
Dennis Kreps, co-owner of Quintessential, expressed excitement about this new endeavor in a news release.
“There could not be a more suitable spirit to enter the craft sector than with Fabrice Brunel’s handcrafted gin,” he said. “He brings such passion and authenticity to anything he creates, and Le Gin 13 is no different. It offers something special to both wine and spirits consumers alike with its perfect blend of tradition and innovation.”
Created by Fabrice and Romain Pitaud, the skilled winemaking team at André Brunel, Le Gin 13 embodies the rich heritage of the Rhône, which runs deeply in the Brunel family (as they have been producing wine there since 1739). Fabrice shared his motivation to create this unique gin.
“As a gin enthusiast, I drew inspiration from my home, the Rhône, to craft a gin tailored for wine aficionados,” Pitaud said. “Le Gin 13 embodies the concept of terroir through carefully selected botanicals, a deep connection to our winemaking heritage and by highlighting the differing characteristics in vintaged gin.”

Le Gin 13 will be available nationwide in the U.S. by the fall of 2024.
