Cîroc Ultra-Premium Vodka

Cîroc was launched in 2003 as a revolutionary entry into the vodka market, distinguished by its use of French grapes rather than traditional grain or potato bases. The brand is produced at Maison Villevert, a distillery with over 500 years of family heritage in the Gascony region of France. Master Distiller Jean-Sébastien Robicquet oversees production using two grape varieties—Mauzac Blanc and Ugni Blanc—harvested after the first frost, known as 'snap frost' grapes. The vodka is distilled five times to approximately 96% ABV, approaching the practical limit of conventional distillation before being diluted with water to 40% ABV for bottling. The name itself reflects French heritage, combining 'cîme' (peak) and 'roche' (rock). Owned by Diageo since its inception, Cîroc gained significant cultural prominence through celebrity endorsement and has become one of the world's most iconic ultra-premium vodkas, known for its fruity character and gluten-free positioning.
