Process & Profile
Grey Goose Vodka is crafted using soft winter wheat sourced exclusively from Picardy, France, recognized for its superior bread-making wheat quality. This single-origin wheat is combined with pure, limestone-filtered spring water from Gensac-la-Pallue in the Cognac region. Unlike many vodkas, Grey Goose is distilled only once through an intricate five-column distillation process, a unique method that preserves the wheat’s natural character and ensures unparalleled purity and smoothness.
The production process is overseen by Fran√ßois Thibault, the *Ma√Ætre de Chai* (Cellar Master), who ensures every step—from fermentation to bottling—meets the brand’s exacting standards. This meticulous “field-to-bottle” approach highlights Grey Goose’s commitment to quality and consistency.
