At the very southwest of France, nestled between Roussillon and the Pyrenees, the gorges of Tarn to the east, is a small region called Gaillac. It is here, in one of the oldest wine growing regions of France, that the fruit of ancient vineyards is harvested for Cîroc. Employing a regimen of traditional 10th century methods, established by the Benedictine Monks on the Abbey St. Michel, harvests of Mauzac et Ugni Blanc are assembled for vinification and distillation into one of the world's most refined Vodka.
