A Drink With... Alex Watson

Meet the co-founder of a unique Gin made from Chablis!

In episode 4 of The HelenaSips Podcast, Helena meets Alex Watson, co-founder of Renais Gin with his actor sister, Emma Watson.

This is a conversation about creating a unique spirit made from ‘upcycled’ Chablis grapes that looks as good as it tastes. We hear about what growing up in France has taught him about the French concept of the Art of Living and what makes for a good life. Along the way, we touch on glassware and cocktails, the family winery and how to make and epic ‘terroir-tini’.
