HOW CÎROC VODKA IS MADE: THE STEPS OF OUR DISTILLATION. Unlike most vodkas, which are made from grain, CÎROC Vodka is distilled from fine French grapes; a process inspired by over a century of wine-making expertise and craftsmanship.
Cîroc Vodka is made from two different types of French grapes—mauzac blanc and ugni blanc—and is distilled five times. Its name is a mashup of two French words: cime (peak) and roche (rock).
