Grey Goose Vodka

Volume: 0.7 litres | Alcohol content: 40% | Chill filtration: No | Colouring: No

Special Features:

Grey Goose is made from two ingredients: soft French winter wheat and spring water. The wheat comes from Picardy, while the water is drawn from a private well in Gensac-la-Pallue in the Cognac region. No additives are used in the vodka.

Production involves a single continuous distillation process in steel and copper columns. The distillate is then brought to bottling strength with spring water. After its natural passage through limestone, the water undergoes double reverse osmosis. Processing concludes with light filtration of the vodka through cellulose and activated carbon at ambient temperature, without chill filtration.

Alongside sweetness, the rounded flavour profile includes subtle hints of lemon peel and warm bread, as well as almond, apple and citrus notes. Grey Goose can be enjoyed neat or used in cocktails such as a Vodka Martini. This bottling contains 0.7 litres at 40% alcohol.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: A delicate floral aroma unfolds on the nose.
• Palate: The vodka tastes sweet and feels rounded on the palate.
• Finish: Pronounced toffee notes emerge on the finish.

Distillery/Bottler:

Sidney Frank founded Grey Goose in the summer of 1997 and developed the project together with cellar master François Thibault. Thibault brought his experience in Cognac production to the development of the vodka. Distillation takes place in Picardy, while bottling takes place in the Cognac region.

Grey Goose has worked with the same three agricultural cooperatives to source its winter wheat since production began. The grain is milled directly at the distillery. Natural enzymes convert the starch into fermentable sugars, and a purpose-designed cascade system is used for the subsequent fermentation. In addition to 550 quality checks, the process includes a final tasting of every batch before bottling.
