Cîroc is a French vodka that makes a fundamental departure from grain-based production — distilled five times from Ugni Blanc and Mauzac Blanc grapes grown in the Cognac region at the Distillerie de Chevanceaux, producing a naturally smooth, slightly lighter-bodied spirit with a delicate citrus character that grain-based vodkas cannot replicate.Most premium vodkas use grain (typically wheat, rye, or corn) as their base. Cîroc uses French wine grapes — the same Ugni Blanc grape that forms the base of cognac production in the region, complemented by Mauzac Blanc. Grapes produce a different character than grain after distillation: naturally smoother with a lighter body, a subtle sweetness, and the faint floral and citrus quality that the Cognac-region terroir contributes. Five distillations refine the grape spirit to high clarity while preserving this character. The brand has been developed in partnership with Sean Combs since 2007, who shaped its positioning in premium lifestyle culture.Tasting Notes Nose: Light citrus and subtle floral character — the grape spirit's natural aromatics at five distillations Palate: Smooth and lighter-bodied than grain vodkas — subtle sweetness and clean fruit character from the Ugni Blanc base Finish: Clean and crisp with a delicate citrus lift Specs Producer: Cîroc, Cognac region, France Distillery: Distillerie de Chevanceaux Base: Ugni Blanc and Mauzac Blanc French grapes Distillation: Five times distilled ABV: 40% (80 Proof) Size: 750ml Browse all vodka at Wooden Cork.{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Why use grapes instead of grain for vodka?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Grapes produce a naturally smoother, lighter-bodied spirit than grain with a subtle sweetness and delicate citrus and floral character from the Cognac-region terroir.
