To create GREY GOOSE La Poire Flavored Vodka, the Maitre de Chai selected the Anjou Pear. Cultivated in France's Loire River Valley, the Anjou is world renowned for its creamy texture, subtle sweetness and mellow flavor. This coveted fruit is used to create a flavored vodka that is alive with the aroma of fresh pears and a light, smooth taste.

The Maitre de Chai chose the essence of the prized Florida orange to create the gentle orange nuance that is the signature of GREY GOOSE L'Orange Flavored Vodka. It tastes refreshingly light and crisp and perfectly echoes the natural zest of the fruit.
The Maitre de Chai masterfully crafts GREY GOOSE Le Citron Flavored Vodka using the subtle, tart flavor that can only be drawn from the Menton lemon. Each year, the French provincial town of Menton blooms with color in celebration of the lemon harvest. Fittingly, the taste of GREY GOOSE® Le Citron is bright and elegant.
For centuries the most respected experts in spirits distillation have practiced their craft in the region, which is renowned for its luxury foods, wines and spirits. It's these craftsmen whose expertise and vision led to the creation of a spirit so exceptional that it redefined vodka.
Under the watchful eye of an expert, the GREY GOOSE maître de chai (cellar master), the spirit is closely monitored so as to ensure that every drop of its production exceeds expectations. Only the finest ingredients are used, such as the golden fine French wheat and the naturally filtered spring water that creates the superior nature of GREY GOOSE vodka.
Reflecting how the world's best tasting vodka and Cognac are intrinsically linked, GREY GOOSE is named after the geese that have made Cognac their home and are celebrated in the region. The geese are a familiar sight in the center of Cognac where a flock regularly drinks from the fountain in front of the Hôtel de Ville. Each year, geese are put in the spotlight with the Foire aux Pirons (festival of the geese), a local tradition which commemorates the region's world-renowned epicurean heritage.
In its first year of production, GREY GOOSE was hailed as "The World's Best Tasting Vodka" by the Chicago Beverage Testing Institute and was also awarded a Platinum medal at the World Spirits Championship in San Francisco, California.
