MARIE ANTOINETTE Vodka
Distilled from wheat grown on small plots in the grounds of the Château de Versailles, this French vodka is made in a copper still with linden and shows a fresh, subtly floral profile.
Wheat vodka
Versailles wheat, distilled in a copper still
The producer identifies two elements at the centre of this vodka: wheat from the grounds of Versailles and careful copper-pot distillation in Saumur.
Wheat from the Château de Versailles
Small plots associated with Marie-Antoinette’s hamlet continue to provide wheat. The grain is harvested and prepared in limited quantities.
Copper-pot distillation with linden
Distillerie Combier distils the wheat in copper equipment and lists linden among the botanicals, shaping the vodka’s gentle floral character.
A clear, rounded and subtly floral vodka
The finished spirit is crystalline, fresh and balanced, with a soft texture rather than an aggressive alcoholic edge.
Citrus zest, white lilac and linden
The producer describes a fresh, balanced and tender profile. Citrus zest leads into white lilac and linden notes, recalling a cereal field in summer.
