A masterful London Dry Gin crafted in Meursault, made by Clos Saint Joseph with 16 carefully selected botanicals and silky precision.
The Gin L'Ô de Jô from Clos Saint Joseph is an engaging and precious artisanal curiosity, a London Dry Gin crafted by a vintner's distillery in the heart of Burgundy, which proves with spirit and conviction that the alembic can speak with as much precision as the barrel. Its name tells a simple, poetic story: L'Ô refers to the water flowing from the alembic, and Jô is the affectionate name given to the alembic itself. An encounter between water and fire, between Burgundian tradition and the art of botanical distillation.
Botanicals and elaboration
Gin L'Ô de Jô contains 16 carefully selected botanicals: juniper, coriander, angelica root, lemon peel, clementine, Sichuan pepper, mustard, and other confidential botanicals. The spirit base is a high-quality neutral grain distillate. The 16 botanicals macerate in alcohol before distillation, a process that precisely defines the London Dry Gin category. This method, the most noble and demanding in gin production, allows maximum extraction of aromatics from each botanical before alembic distillation, guaranteeing precise and well-defined aromatic expression in the final product. Alcohol content: 41% vol.
Tasting profile
The colour is limpid and crystalline, with absolute transparency. The nose is complex and immediately fresh: juniper asserts itself first with its characteristic woody and resinous signature, before citrus and clementine notes unfold, vivid, fresh and zesty, accompanied by delicate coriander with its light spice, earthy and floral angelica root, and Sichuan pepper with its characteristic citric and slightly numbing quality. The whole is remarkably well-balanced and refined, neither too floral nor too juniper-driven, with aromatic complexity that reveals the care taken in selecting and proportioning the 16 botanicals. On the palate, the attack is lively and clean, with the silky, slightly oily texture characteristic of great gins. Citrus and clementine aromas dominate the mid-palate, before the warm, enveloping heat of Sichuan pepper and the aromatic structure of angelica root extend the finish with elegance. The persistence is pleasant and fresh, with a return of juniper and citrus that invites further tasting.
The distillery
Clos Saint Joseph is an artisanal distillery in Burgundy that has chosen to extend the vintner's expertise—mastery of aromatics, patience and the demands of distillation—into the world of premium spirits. The range also includes a Small Batch Gin with Blackcurrant, a declination faithful to Burgundian identity, pairing juniper with the rich fruitiness of Côte d'Or blackcurrant. An artisanal house whose ambition is clear: to produce spirits of a precision and authenticity that carry the identity and demands of the Burgundian vineyard in every glass.
Tasting and pairings
This Gin L'Ô de Jô is best enjoyed neat on ice, in a balloon glass, to appreciate the aromatic complexity of the 16 botanicals. As a Gin Tonic, it will blossom with a premium dry tonic, Indian or Mediterranean, garnished with a lime wheel, a sprig of fresh rosemary or a clementine zest. It pairs beautifully with oysters, salmon or sushi, and stands on its own—a recommendation that speaks volumes about the frankness and generosity of this artisanal Burgundian gin.
