New Limited Edition Ultra-Premium Vodka
Infused with Meteorite
Product Portfolio Includes Vodka, Gin, and
Liqueur—All Made with Organic Ingredients and the Highest
Technological Standards
MEURSAULT, BURGUNDY, France, April 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Pegasus Distillerie, a
premium organic spirits brand founded in France's Burgundy region, today
announces its arrival in the United
States. Drawing inspiration from the famed winemaking
region's terroir—from spring-fed water to soil, topography,
and climate—the Pegasus Distillerie portfolio includes vodka, gin,
and liqueur comprised of the purest and highest quality organic
ingredients, created using the most advanced distillation
technology.
As part of the U.S. market launch, Pegasus is introducing a
brand-new spirit: Shooting Star Vodka, an Ultra-Premium
vodka enriched with minerals from an unexpected, out-of-this-world
ingredient: a meteorite.
Beginning from wheat selected from local French producers, the
Pegasus Vodkas undergo several rounds of slow reflux distillation
using iStill® stills to create the perfect
combination of exceptional structure and flavor precision. Located
at the heart of the distillery, under a cathedral of zinc and glass
under the night-sky, the iStillÒ technology
combines tradition and innovation. It has a unique cubic shape that
significantly improves the blending of the extractions to capture
incredibly refined aromas.
To create Shooting Star Vodka the spirit is then reduced over a
month-long period with pure spring water from the well 150 meters
below the Pegasus Distillerie and aged for a minimum of one year in
a terracotta amphora from Italy.
Suspended at the center of the amphora is a meteorite, imparting an
extraordinary flavor and structure to the vodka.
"At Pegasus Distillerie, we draw inspiration from the
starry sky and are guided by an unwavering commitment to quality.
Harnessing the purest natural elements, we craft simple yet
innovative and refined spirits that evoke a sense of wonder and
contribute to creating long-lasting shared memories," said
Maxime Girardin, Founder and Master
Distiller at Pegasus Distillerie. "We take pride in using organic
ingredients and botanicals that are harvested by hand in the
south of France and on the Swiss
Alps and in distilling our spirits in small batches—a process
that sets us apart in our commitment to excellence and
innovation, uniquely embodying the regions' terroir. The
flavor profile introduced to our Shooting Star Vodka through the
meteorite and the aging process represents an innovation that
you won't find anywhere else."
Accompanying Shooting Star Vodka to the U.S. market are three
core products from Pegasus Distillerie:
- Pegasus Vodka: The principal vodka in the Pegasus
Distillerie portfolio, Pegasus Vodka is characterized by a unique
smoothness and freshness. Crafted with the finest quality grains,
the vodka combines high-quality, organic French wheat with pure
spring-fed Meursault water mixed in slow reduction to preserve the
high quality, creating the perfect blend and flavor profile.
- Orion Gin: As the first product created by the
distillery, Orion Gin combines local
authenticity and French know-how. Born from the fusion between five
carefully selected and locally sourced botanicals, each distilled
separately and then masterfully mixed, the result contains subtle
aromas of citrus fruits from the Mediterranean and plants and
flowers grown in the Swiss Alps.
- Eau d'Or Liqueur: A throwback to a bygone era, the Eau
d'Or Liqueur recipe was crafted by the master distillers of
Versailles under Louis the XIV and
was deemed a luxury product reserved for the royal court due to its
premium ingredients of citrus fruits, cane sugar, and orange
blossoms. Revitalized for the tastes of our century, the liqueur
created by Pegasus Distillerie with its resplendent golden glints
will gracefully accompany consumers through the day, from an early
aperitivo to the enchanting sunset.
Pegasus Distillerie spirits will be distributed in New York, California and Florida. To find a location to purchase,
