Summum Vodka

Summum started in a Cognac house on the banks of the Charente, according to the producer’s account. In 2022, the producer says, it converted the entire vodka range to organic production.

The farm behind Summum’s change

Vodka production began in 2009, according to A. de Fussigny’s producer listing.

Summum says it wanted to support organic growers nearby and find a local distillery that could work to organic standards. Summum credits a family farm in Charente-Maritime for its wheat. In 2017 the grower, whom the brand introduces as Ludovic, decided to switch 230 hectares of grain to organic farming.

Summum says the grain goes to a brewery a few kilometers from the fields, where it is stored, brewed, and fermented before going to a distillery in Charente-Maritime. The producer describes a production chain contained within a 40-kilometer radius. Its account of making Summum in France includes the manufacture of the bottle itself.

From spring water to bottle

Summum names Gensac-la-Pallue as the source of its spring water and credits the limestone below the village for its purity. It describes two distillations through a five-column system, followed by a gradual reduction in alcohol strength to preserve aromas. The liquid is then cooled and filtered slowly. A. de Fussigny’s Business France listing places bottling at a historic distillery in Cognac that dates to 1814.

Lemon and Espelette Pepper vodkas

Alongside the plain Single Estate, Summum lists two flavored vodkas. It uses real lemons for the citrus version and says it looked beyond Charente for the fruit. For the pepper version, Summum sought out organic growers in Espelette itself, a village in the Basque Country.

Summum describes two macerations after filtration to develop the pepper vodka’s aroma, color, and taste. The viewed Espelette Pepper front carries the USDA Organic seal.
