GREY GOOSE vodka is made using a private process that’s designed to produce the high standard vodka that GREY GOOSE is recognized for. Their vodka is made from the finest soft wheat, grown in the Picardy region of France. As it transforms into a high-proof spirit, it’s blended with spring water that’s been filtered through limestone.
Each batch of GREY GOOSE vodka goes through greater than 550 daily quality control checks to ensure the highest quality. The entire distillation process is overseen by Maître de Chai, François Thibault. He also personally tastes and approves each batch.
