France
Since 1937, our family has been producing AOC French Brandy (Calvados and Cognac) at our distillery located just a few kilometers from the world renown Mont-Saint-Michel in Normandy. For generations, we have always been fervent advocates of the tradition of French Brandies and passionate about innovation. With love and care, respecting the ancestral savoir-faire of our region, we have always thrived to craft blends that would best represent our terroir and its character. Since 2015, we have been distilling Normindia Gins (The Original, The Barrel Aged, The Organic & The Grapefruit). NORMINDIA: THE RESULT OF A JOURNEY AND A LEGACY Normindia is the story of a journey, encounters and family know-how. Pierre Martin-Neuhaus, 3rd generation of the family, took over the reins of the distillery in 2014, and had the idea of diversifying the Domaine spirits offer. Upon his arrival, returning from a trip to India that captivated and inspired him, he had the idea of creating his own Gin that combined his family heritage and the flavors of India. This creation comes to him as obvious, it is the birth of the Normindia Gin, a contraction of Normandy and India. The trigger for the creation of this signature and premium gin was the discovery of a book dating from 1765: “La Chimie du Goût et de l'Odorat”. Surrounded by a team made up of an aromatician, an oenologist and a master distiller, Pierre began to source botanical ingredients and to carry out macerations and micro-distillations at the distillery. Innovating by sublimating the fundamentals of the Domaine is the challenge he has set himself, in order to promote this French know-how throughout the world. “Authentic by Nature, Innovative by Conviction” - Pierre Martin Neuhaus.
