About the Producer

Renais Spirits is a family adventure born from the desire of Alex Watson and his sister Emma to celebrate the French terroir. The story begins with the upcycling of grape skins from the family vineyard, cultivated by their father, Chris Watson. From this initiative came Renais, a name that evokes rebirth and a deep connection to winemaking tradition. The estate first made its mark with Renais First Edition gin, a subtle blend of grapes from the estate and spirits from the Beaujolais region, an expression of their quest for excellence. The Renais Spirits range has since been enriched with original creations, such as the Renais 'Reserve Familiale' Small Batch Gin and Renais 'Edition Anniversaire' Small Batch Gin, reflecting the innovative spirit instilled by the Watson family. It is a bold and modern approach that revisits winemaking heritage while exploring new gustatory paths. Renais Spirits thus embodies a beautiful family story and a passion for the terroir, offering creative and refined spirits. Among the most sought-after bottlings are the Renais 'Reserve Familiale' Small Batch Gin and Renais 'Edition Anniversaire' Small Batch Gin, which serve as useful benchmarks for understanding the house's identity.
