About Hexagone Gin


Launched 2021, Hexagone Gin is distilled using a copper pot still in the Languedoc-Rousillon region of southern France, with local wine as a base spirit. Founder Damien Gagnieres, a former buyer for international food companies, chose the name 'Hexagone' because the hexagon is the emblematic shape of France seen from the sky. Each side of the hexagon represents a carefully selected botanical chosen to enhance the juniper flavour.

The Gin Guide Review: Hexagone Original Gin is a seemlessly constructed gin with plentiful flavour that is classic at its heart with layers of citrus, spice and delicate florals. It is a French Gin that very effectively deviates from using the most typical French botanicals such as lavender, citrus and garden herbs, instead having an almost Asian-inspired backdrop from the Kaffir lime leaf, cardamom, pepper and jasmine. In addition, the gin has a full mouthfeel with plentiful body from the grape base spirit, and is very well balanced with an impressively integrated botanical combination. With Tonic Water the piney character of the juniper is lifted further, the orange holds the mid-palate and the kick of pepperiness still comes in to add journey of flavour even when mixed. - Paul Jackson, 2022

Meet the Makers

"All the botanicals use in the Hexagone Gin are organic certifed. I really wanted the top quality and sustainable product for the creation of this gin. We make the gin on the same principle of a wine, ie by blending. All the ingredients are distilled separately then assembled like a wine in order to find the perfect balance and a nice structure." - Damien Gagnieres, Founder
