GREY GOOSE LE CITRON VODKA

Detailed Description
GREY GOOSE® Le Citron Vodka, maître de chai 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 than their western counterparts, and have a milder and less acidic flavour. The thicker peels yield higher levels of essential oil, making them the favourite of respected French chefs. The lemons are concentrated into a complex citrus oil extract to preserve their bright flavours, then expertly blended with the world’s finest vodka, GREY GOOSE®.

Palate: Clean with fresh lemon notes and a subtle fruitiness, evoking the floral, zesty nature of the fruit.
Finish: Fresh warmth and richness of a whole orange, with lemon flavour remaining prominent.
