Homage to Our Roots

Following the French Tradition of Excellence

For centuries France has been known for its passion, quality and meticulous craftsmanship—values that have inspired the creation of some of the world’s finest luxury goods. GREY GOOSE upholds these high standards by combining passion with an uncompromising attention to detail coupled with the finest natural ingredients to create a truly exceptional spirit.

Born Where Perfection’s Bred

Cognac—The World Capital of Luxury Spirits

Many top luxury spirits makers gravitate to the Cognac region of France for its rich spirits-making history and legacy of excellence. The same process that goes into making some of the finest spirits in the world goes into creating GREY GOOSE vodka.

The Vodka Master

The Journey To Becoming Maître de Chai

Only after attaining the highest level of spirits-making expertise does one receive the title of Maître de Chai, or “cellar master.” The GREY GOOSE Maître de Chai, François Thibault combines the knowledge and skills of a master blender and master distiller to oversee every step in the making of GREY GOOSE—ensuring that wherever it is served, GREY GOOSE vodka always lives up to its reputation for exceptional taste.

Superior Ingredients

Begin with the Finest

Soft Winter Wheat

The story of GREY GOOSE begins with the finest soft winter wheat grown by generations of farming families near the Picardy region of France. GREY GOOSE selects the wheat certified as Class 1 blé panifiable supérieur or “superior bread-making wheat”—the same wheat used to make world-renowned French bread and pastries.

Creating the Spirit

The Transformation of Wheat

The first steps in the creation of GREY GOOSE vodka take place in Picardy, near the farms where the soft winter wheat is grown. A dedicated mill and distillery transform the soft winter wheat into the high-proof spirit that will go on to become GREY GOOSE vodka.

Vodka with Character

The Signature Five Column Technique

GREY GOOSE uses a custom-designed five-step distillation process developed by Francois Thibault. Unlike other white spirit distillation methods Thibault focuses on developing the character of the spirit—not simply creating neutrality or removing impurities. This key difference gives GREY GOOSE its signature flavor and smoothness.

Discerning Taste

Purity is imperative

The Pristine Springs of Gensac

GREY GOOSE uses only the purest water naturally filtered through Grande Champagne limestone in Gensac springs. An artesian well draws from an aquifer 500 feet beneath the ground—sourcing water untouched by humans and pollutants.

Facing The Ultimate Test

Maintaining Our High Standards

On a daily basis, GREY GOOSE vodka goes through more than 500 quality control checks including—most importantly—the final taste test. The Maître de Chai and his panel of tasting experts personally sample and approve every batch of GREY GOOSE before it is bottled.

In terms of quality control, nothing can replace the eyes, nose and tongue. No machinery, no matter how sophisticated, can discriminate as precisely as our senses do.

Applying the Finishing Touches

The Rinse and Cork

Every bottle is rinsed with GREY GOOSE to ensure the purity of the liquid inside. The bottle then receives the signature GREY GOOSE cork inspired by the centuries-old winemaking tradition of the Cognac region. Every time GREY GOOSE is served, the cork is a small reminder of its fine origins.

Flawless Finish
