Sequoia – A fresh, botanical organic gin rooted in the Alps

An artisanal distillery near the Vercors mountains

Located in the Drôme region of southeastern France, near the Vercors Natural Park, Sequoia is an independent distillery founded by Éric Forget. It was born from the desire to create a truly French, organic gin rooted in local terroir. All spirits are distilled on the family estate using small-scale, sustainable methods.

A certified organic gin made entirely in France

Sequoia gin is made with organic wheat alcohol from France and a carefully selected blend of local botanicals: juniper, coriander, angelica, lemon zest, cardamom, lemon balm, lemon thyme, fir, and orris root. The ingredients are gently macerated and then slowly distilled in copper stills to capture their aromatic finesse.

Aromatic profile: fresh, floral, and balanced

On the nose, Sequoia offers a vibrant bouquet of citrus, dried flowers, mild spices, and fresh herbs. The palate is smooth and lively, with bright notes of lemon and alpine herbs, followed by a long, clean finish. It’s ideal served neat, with a dry tonic, or in classic gin cocktails.

A transparent and committed distillery

Sequoia is driven by ethics and traceability. All ingredients are organic and sourced from French producers, with local, low-impact production. The distillery favors quality over volume, and each bottle reflects a deep connection to nature and place. It’s a gin made with intention, not convention.

A rising name in premium French gin

Sequoia is increasingly recognized as one of the top new names in the French gin scene. Its precise style, aromatic clarity, and environmental commitment are appreciated by retailers, bartenders, and discerning gin enthusiasts. A signature spirit that embodies the new wave of French craft distilling.
