Grey Goose Le Citron Flavored Vodka

Brighten your glass with the sun-drenched flavors of the French Riviera. Grey Goose Le Citron Flavored Vodka, available at Nestor Liquor, is a masterful expression of nature’s finest citrus. Created by Maître de Chai François Thibault, this spirit begins with the world-renowned Grey Goose vodka—distilled from soft winter wheat in Picardie—and infuses it with the essential oils of superior lemons from the Menton region of France.

Menton lemons are world-famous for their thick skins and mild, less acidic flavor. Grey Goose uses a unique whole-fruit maceration process to capture the bright zest and rich oils of the fruit without the harsh bitterness often found in other citrus spirits. Bottled at 40% ABV (80 Proof), Le Citron is a robust, full-strength vodka that serves as the backbone for the world’s best Lemon Drop or Cosmopolitan.
