i. Biography

Mario Thevenon’s work is anchored in Destilería Thevenon, the family distillery project that began in Mar del Plata in 2019. The house style is London Dry Gin, and that choice gives the project its clearest technical line: dry, defined, and built around a fixed point of reference rather than a broad spread of styles. Within that frame, La Francesa Gin has become the label most closely tied to the distillery’s strongest international recognition, carrying the family name into wider trade conversation.
