BIRTH OF A GENUINE FRANCO-RUSSIAN SUPER PREMIUM VODKA

A new brand of vodka named “Michel Strogoff” has just been awarded a Gold Medal at the prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Competition of 2008, even before its launch in the American market!

The exceptional gustative qualities of the Michel Strogoff vodka were appreciated and acknowledged by the jury of the most important worldwide competition of spirits, which awarded it one of the highest distinctions in its category.

The singularity of the Michel Strogoff vodka is that, to this day, it is the only existing genuine Franco-Russian vodka!

French, due to the fact that it is produced and bottled in the prestigious region of Cognac.
Russian, due to the fact that its formula was specially created for the brand by the Russian Research Institute of Food Biotechnology of Moscow, based on the research of the great Russian scientist Mendeleev.

Michel Strogoff vodka was created to commemorate the name of the valiant Russian hero, who is referred to in the writings of one of the most celebrated French writers, Jules Verne.

Among the most imaginative and prolific novelists, Jules Verne is, to this day, the most read French writer in the world.

Among the family of great heroes that he imagined, Michel Strogoff, the young courageous courier of the Tsar of Great Russia, holds first rank!

Prestige, tradition and excellence are the qualities of Jules Verne’s hero, and it is the implementation of these qualities that we were aspired to instill in the Michel Strogoff vodka.
