HOUSE
& PRODUCTS
-
Our name is an encounter.
Maison MG is named after our founder, Camille Mỹ Giang PIPET PHAM, and “Mỹ Giang” is the name we gifted our house as a tribute to the Pipet family’s rich history — a lineage marked by resilience, grace, and an unwavering stand against hatred and bigotry.Our name itself is an encounter between Le Berry and the Orient — a reflection of our founder’s heritage, identity, and purpose.
-
We distill elegance from waste.
Our secret lies in the marcs de Sauvignon Blanc — upcycled grape skins reborn into something spirited and refined. We build our gin on the essence of grapes, giving a second life to what might otherwise be left behind.
-
Oh, absolutely.
Legally and spiritually, it’s gin through and through. We honor tradition with juniper at the core — then let the Sauvignon Blanc and botanicals dance in harmony for a spirit that’s rooted, but never rigid.
-
Crafted in the Rhône, with roots in Le Berry.
Our gin is distilled and bottled at Distillerie de Chavanay, where traditional savoir-faire meets a bold twist from wine country. A meeting of method and magic.
-
Tasting is ever so dearly personal — no two palates perceive alike.
Most will find notes of bright citrus zest and delicate white blossoms. And for the more imaginative among us, perhaps even a whisper of toasted bread... -
As you like it — and with intent.
Whether in a timeless G&T or a bold, aromatic cocktail, let the liquid lead. We’ve shared some of our favorite serves to help you explore its full spectrum.
-
It absolutely is.
No gluten, no animal products, no compromises. Just clean, crafted spirit.
-
Not a single one.
Maison MG’s liquids contain no nuts whatsoever.
-
We bottle at 41% ABV.
Enough structure to carry its character — smooth enough to pour again (and again).
-
No need — and also, why not?
Treat it like a fine wine — or a well-kept secret: store it somewhere cool, dark, and bless it with a hint of poetry.
-
We believe true beauty carries responsibility.
From upcycled grape skins to choosing eco-conscious packaging, every step of our process is guided by care — for the craft, and for the planet.
SUSTAINABILITY
-
We do.
Right after the grapes are handpicked and pressed to make wine, we take all the leftovers and upcycle them into a refined, flavorful gin.
-
Because we use what’s already there and elevate it into mindful, tasteful products. No need to endlessly source more — nature’s bounty already blesses us with power and abundance.
-
Nearly all our botanicals are handpicked across France by skilled cueilleuses, supported by partners like Arcadie and Sicarappam, ensuring freshness, quality, and a deep connection to the land.
-
It sure is.
From our labels to our boxes, we use recycled, recyclable, and minimal materials.
Our bottles are made from recycled glass sourced in Europe.
Our caps are glass and nearly 100% recyclable.
No flashy extras — just elegant, low-impact design with a conscience.
-
From grape to glass, we make conscious choices — sustainability is a practice, not a claim. From upcycled ingredients to small-batch production and seasonal decisions, we take thoughtful steps — always with the Earth in mind, and beauty as our compass. We’re not perfect, but we’re committed.
