Pira is a new Gin recipe created by the Drouin house which continues to explore the aromas of the Normandy terroir.

In this new edition, pears are central to the recipe. Norman perry pears are blended with juniper, vanilla, lemon, black pepper, and orris root, the flower that adorns the roofs of Norman cottages.

Pira is made according to the same principles as the original version of Le Gin; each aromatic is macerated and redistilled separately to optimize the extraction of aromas.

The distillates are then blended before bottling.

“Along with the apple, the pear is the other emblematic fruit of Normandy. In the Pays d'Auge, pear trees are generally planted at the edge of apple orchards. These large trees, which can reach more than 15 meters in height, with deep roots, form excellent windbreaks for more fragile apple trees… Normandy pear trees live up to 300 years. The perry pear is a small pear with a subtle aroma, which combines acidity and tannins. With Pira , I wanted to work around this fruit, choosing a variety typical of the Domfrontais region, the Domfront pear.”

Guillaume Drouin

Pira offers gourmet aromas of white fruits, black pepper and iris, always with the aromatic intensity that characterizes Drouin Gins.


Tasting advice:

Enjoy neat or as a gin and tonic, with a thin slice of pear or elderflower as a garnish.

Très très bon gin

Je ne suis pas amateur de gin habituellement, mais entendu parlé de celui ci j’ai voulu essayer et bien vous m’avez convaincu, j’aime vraiment le gin mai tenant et particulièrement le Pira avec son petit arrière goût de pomme/poire.

Très fin en début de bouche sur des notes classiques et ensuite la saveur poire s installe, très surprenant et agréable !

Je ne peux donner un avis sur le Gin non encore goûté, par contre je donne mon avis qui est très positif sur le service commercial/relation client qui est exceptionnellement à l’écoute et réactif.
