Grey Goose

Grey Goose is a premium French vodka produced at the Maison Grey Goose in Cognac, distilled from soft winter wheat grown in Picardy and filtered through limestone-rich spring water from Gensac-la-Pallue in Charente. Developed by cellar master François Thibault using the same attention to ingredient quality that defines Cognac production, Grey Goose is one of the world’s most recognized premium vodkas — clean, smooth, and neutral with a subtle natural sweetness from the wheat.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Grey Goose different from other premium vodkas?

French origin and production philosophy. Grey Goose uses single-origin Picardy winter wheat and Gensac spring water filtered through limestone — ingredients selected with the same terroir-focused approach used in Cognac and wine production. Single distillation rather than multiple distillations preserves the natural wheat character rather than stripping flavor entirely. The result is a vodka with genuine character rather than complete neutrality.

What is the difference between Grey Goose Essences and the standard flavored line?

The classic flavored expressions (L’Orange, La Vanille, Le Citron) are 40% ABV and use single-note natural essences. The Essences line (Strawberry & Lemongrass, White Peach & Rosemary, Watermelon & Basil) is 30% ABV, using multi-ingredient botanical combinations and significantly fewer calories. Essences are designed for sipping neat, over ice, or with sparkling water rather than mixed cocktails.
