Uncompromising Passion

Cîroc Ignite represents the evolution of Cîroc's distinctive grape-based vodka production, which began in 2003 at the historic Distillerie de Chevanceaux in the South of France. Unlike conventional vodkas derived from grain, potatoes, or corn, Cîroc is uniquely crafted from fine French grapes, a heritage that defines its character. The Ignite expression undergoes five complete distillations—four passes through traditional column stills followed by a final distillation in a tailor-made copper pot still. This meticulous process concentrates the spirit to approximately 96% ABV before careful dilution to 40% proof for bottling. The result is an exceptionally fresh vodka with pronounced citrus notes and a naturally smooth, lightly sweet palate derived from the grape base. Cîroc's ownership by Diageo ensures consistent quality and global distribution, making Ignite accessible to vodka enthusiasts worldwide seeking a premium alternative to grain-based competitors.

Five-times distilled at Distillerie de Chevanceaux using French grapes as the base ingredient. First four distillations conducted in column stills, final distillation in a traditional copper pot still. Distilled to approximately 96% ABV before dilution with filtered water to 40% ABV for bottling. Gluten-free production. Charcoal filtration employed to ensure purity and smoothness.
