Distiller Notes
Grey Goose Le Citron Flavored Vodka has an exquisitely clean, fresh, bright taste. Adding pristine spring water from Gensac-la-Pallue, naturally filtered through limestone, give this premium vodka an unparalleled smoothness and exceptional taste, with a long, satisfying finish. The finishing touch of citrus oils extracted from the milder, less acidic lemons from the Menton region lends Grey Goose Le Citron Flavored Vodka its unique, citrus personality.
In crafting Grey Goose Le Citron Flavored Vodka, Cellar Master François Thibault began with the finest lemons, including those grown in the world-renowned Menton region of France. Menton lemons are larger and thicker skinned with a milder and less acidic flavor than their western counterparts, resulting in a superior lemon-flavored vodka. The thicker peels yield higher levels of essential oil, making Menton lemons the favorite of respected French chefs. The lemons are concentrated into a complex citrus oil extract to preserve their bright flavors, then expertly blended with vodka of unparalleled quality, Grey Goose.
Though Vodka aspires to be an odorless and tasteless spirit on its own, this aspect (somewhat ironically) makes it the perfect base for flavored spirits, as there aren’t any other flavors or aromas to compete with those being added. While some premium producers steep their Vodkas with actual fruit, extracts and concentrates are most commonly used to achieve a desired flavor.
