Product details
Grey Goose Pure Plain Vodka 70cl is an unflavoured premium vodka from France, distilled from soft winter wheat and bottled at 40% ABV. The wheat is grown in France, and the spirit is blended in the Cognac region with spring water that has filtered naturally through limestone. Grey Goose is known for a rounded, almost creamy texture, and this French wheat vodka is the base for every flavoured vodka and Essences spirit in the range. It suits martini drinkers, freezer-cold neat serves and any cocktail where the vodka should taste soft rather than sharp.
Grey Goose tasting notes
- Nose: Soft fresh bread, a hint of almond and a touch of citrus peel.
- Palate: Rounded and creamy, with the gentle sweetness of wheat and a light white-pepper note.
- Finish: Long, smooth and warming, ending clean.
Its weight in the mouth is the main thing that separates it from lighter, more neutral column-still vodkas.
How to drink Grey Goose vodka
Store the bottle in the freezer and serve it neat in small chilled glasses, or stir it into a martini. Ice-cold vodka pairs beautifully with salty, rich food: oysters, smoked salmon on blinis, caviar or crisp pickled cucumbers. It is a classic choice for a celebratory dinner, a pre-theatre martini or a toast at a wedding, poured in measured amounts alongside food.
Grey Goose vodka cocktails
- Dry Martini: 60 ml with 10 ml dry vermouth, stirred with ice for 30 seconds, strained into a chilled glass and finished with a lemon twist.
- Vodka Gibson: 60 ml stirred with 15 ml dry vermouth, strained into a chilled coupe and garnished with two cocktail onions.
- Sea Breeze: 50 ml over ice in a highball with 100 ml cranberry juice and 50 ml pink grapefruit juice.
How it compares
In the familiar Grey Goose vs Ketel One question, both are wheat vodkas, but Ketel One tastes crisper and more peppery, while Grey Goose is softer and fuller. Within the brand, Grey Goose Le Citron and Grey Goose L'Orange add citrus to the same base, and the Essences, such as Grey Goose Essences White Peach & Rosemary, drop to 30% ABV with fruit and herbs.
