Distillerie du Mont Blanc bottles 4810 Le Gin Coeur Intense at 41% ABV, giving this French gin a clear starting point. Its identity is linked to Mont-Blanc and to the use of Alpine water, giving the gin a distinctly mountain-led frame. Its character comes through most clearly when dilution is measured and the botanical line is allowed to unfold.

Its documented botanical bill brings together Juniper berries, Lemon peel, Angelica root. Juniper supplies a dry, resinous backbone. The vegetal, spice, citrus or fruit elements named in the recipe add contrast around it and prevent the profile from becoming one-dimensional. At 41% ABV, the gin has the concentration to stay legible as ice begins to melt and the drink opens in the glass.

On the nose, 4810 Le Gin Coeur Intense establishes its juniper and alpine botanicals character in a composed, precise register. The palate is best approached slowly: a firm opening gives way to a more detailed middle, then settles into a clean finish where the botanicals remain distinct rather than crowded. The result has enough definition for a classic highball while retaining the poise needed for a quieter tasting.

For GinToLove, the Perfect Serve is built with precision: fill a large balloon glass with clear ice, pour 4 cl of 4810 Le Gin Coeur Intense, add 10 cl of Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water, stir once and finish with Lemon twist, Juniper berries. This measured recipe lets the juniper and alpine botanicals notes remain defined from the first sip to the finish; taste before adjusting the tonic. Use fresh garnish and sound ice to preserve texture and keep the final balance bright rather than diluted.
