Unlike most vodkas, which are made from grains, Cîroc Ultra-Premium Vodka is distilled from specially selected fine French grapes, in a process inspired by experience following artisanal methods for over a century.

Although all vodkas are distilled, Cîroc is distilled five times, four times in column stills and a fifth time in a copper pot still made to order at the historic Distillerie de Chevanceaux in the South of France. It is these distillations that give Cîroc its distinctive flavour, with an exceptionally fresh citrus taste.
