A delicate, nuanced Spirit built on Eu de Vie infused with natural red berry essences.
Jean-Sébastien Robicquet has the official title of "Commander of Bordeaux" for his lifetime of accomplishment in Wine and Spirits. His family has been making Wine in the region for more than four hundred years. When he decided to learn distillation, he took a position at Hennessy Cognac for ten years and then founded Maison Villevert to make his own. In 2001, Diageo approached him about a partnership to create a premium Vodka built on the same Eau de Vie used in Cognac production — thus Cîroc Vodka was born in 2003.
Cîroc Red Berry starts with the exceptional, award-winning Eau de Vie Vodka Spirit — 95% Ugni Blanc and 5% Mauzac Blanc grapes — distilled five times for a crisp, silky-smooth experience. The difference is that the Red Berry version is infused with essences of ripe strawberry and raspberry. It’s like the berries are whispering in your ear as you sip. And while it is very pleasant to sip on its own, it shines as the base for a Cosmopolitan.
Smartass Corner:
The word "Cîroc" is a combination of the two words meaning "peak" and "rock" in French. The phonetically spelled circumflex letter "î" is signified with a peak over the letter — a natural addition to the brand.
