The spirit begins with soft winter wheat harvested from Picardy in Northern France, which is distilled once to 96% ABV through a proprietary five-step continuous process using steel and copper column stills — a deliberate contrast to the multiple redistillations favored by most competitors. The final spirit is blended with natural spring water from Gensac-la-Pallue in the Grande Champagne sub-region of Cognac before bottling, a location chosen for its limestone-filtered water supply.

The base spirit is blended with spring water from Gensac-la-Pallue in the Cognac region, naturally filtered through Champagne limestone. For Cherry Noir, the finished vodka is infused with 100% natural essence of ripe black cherries handpicked by local farmers in the French Basque Country — a detail that separates it from competitors relying on synthetic flavoring or non-origin-specific fruit sources.

The base spirit goes through a single continuous distillation before the berry infusion takes place. For Berry Rouge specifically, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries are sourced from growers across France, Spain, and Morocco — all Mediterranean climates — and picked at peak ripeness to capture maximum sweetness, color, and fragrance. The natural fruit essences are then blended into the finished vodka without sugar, preservatives, or colorants, resulting in a spirit that derives all of its character from the berries themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ripe, fragrant berry notes dominate from the first pour — juicy strawberry and raspberry lead, followed by a deeper blueberry undertone and a subtle floral hint of tart hibiscus.
