Grey Goose Le Melon Flavored Vodka

Detailed Description

François Thibault created Grey Goose Le Melon to pay tribute to the French Cavaillon melon. The melons are harvested from June to August to ensure their full maturity. The fragrant orange colored fruit pulp gives this smooth and soft Grey Goose its fine aroma of sweet wildflower honey. Notes of a freshly cut melon, hints of bananas and pears are presented, before juicy melons, traces of citrus fruits and almonds will satisfy the palate. The finish is strongly melony with notes of almonds and wheat.
