In 2021 Michel Roux Jr. partnered with Staffordshire distiller, Nelson’s Distillery & School to create the pouring gin for his famous fine dining restaurant – Le Gavroche, based on Upper Brook Street, Mayfair, London.
Michel was first introduced to Nelson’s after tasting their three-star Great Taste winning – Timur Gin.
Impressed by the quality and intriguing flavours Michel visited Nelson’s headquarters to attend his very own Gin & Vodka School. Together with Nelson’s founder and Master Distiller – Neil Harrison the two developed a unique recipe of 28 botanicals.
Le Gavroche Gin brings together floral, herbaceous and spice flavours to create the essence of Provence.
Michel said: “I’m extremely honoured to have worked with Nelson’s Distillery to create an ultra-premium gin that we will be proud to serve at our restaurants.
“I look forward to a truly successful partnership with Nelson’s and making the gin available to our diners at Le Gavroche.”
