Grey Goose Le Citron Vodka
Grey Goose Le Citron Vodka is a 750mL French vodka bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) — the full strength of the original Grey Goose — flavoured with the essential oils of lemons, including lemons from Menton on the French Riviera. It starts from the house base: soft winter wheat from Picardy and limestone-filtered spring water from the brand's own well at Gensac, distilled just once to preserve the character of its two ingredients, under Cellar Master Francois Thibault. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

Menton Lemons, Full-Strength Grey Goose
Menton's lemons are the chef's lemon: larger and thicker-skinned than western lemons, milder and less acidic, with peels rich in essential oil — which is why Francois Thibault built Le Citron around them. The lemons are concentrated into their essential oils and blended with the wheat vodka, so the citrus reads as fresh fruit rather than candy. Because the flavour is carried at the full 40% strength of the original vodka, Le Citron behaves like a proper spirit in a cocktail, not a liqueur.

Tasting Notes
An elegantly bright, bold lemon profile: zesty natural citrus over the smooth, rounded wheat vodka, clean and fresh rather than sweet or candied.
How to Enjoy
The natural base for a Lemon Drop or a vodka Gimlet, and superb with soda and a twist for a clean citrus highball. More flavoured vodkas are in our spirits collection.
