Grey Goose La Poire Flavored Vodka embodies the noble flavor of anjou pears, prized for their mellow flavor and subtle sweetness by French chefs and patissiers. The rich medley of fresh pears deepens the flavor with subtle hints of nuttiness and floral tones of honeysuckle and wildflower. No other pear flavored vodka has had the privilege of including ingredients such as soft French wheat and pure Gensac spring water - ingredients that deliver a flavor that is long and round with just a hint of bitter almond hidden in the lingering finish.
Like the soft winter wheat used to make Grey Goose Vodka, the anjou pear is cultivated in France and is an essential ingredient in classic French pastries and desserts like the tarte aux poires, resulting in a superior pear flavored vodka. Grey Goose La Poire Flavored Vodka benefits from the Grey Goose production process, designed and implemented by Cellar Master François Thibault, and focuses on bringing out the naturally superior characteristics of ripe fruits. A rich medley of fresh pears produces the complex, yet pure flavor of Grey Goose La Poire Flavored Vodka.
Grey Goose Vodka is created in France, a country renowned for its craftsmanship, epicurean traditions and spirit-making heritage. The French have a deeply ingrained culture of terroir - identifying the ideal combination of quality food and drink ingredients with people, process and place. Therefore, they have an innate understanding of how to get the best out of the best. Francois Thibault, the creator of Grey Goose, was inspired by his training as a cognac cellar master and created a vodka designed to express the true taste and character of the ingredients. Francois still oversees every step of the unique journey from field to bottle.
Grey Goose Vodka is 100% traceable from crop to cork. From harvest to milling to distillation to bottling, every step is done in France, using the traditions of the Maitre de Chai. Some of our farmers have worked the land going back 11 generations. Only two ingredients are used: single-origin Picardie winter wheat and natural spring water. The inside of every bottle is washed once with Grey Goose, so it’s the only liquid ever touching the bottle. Even every cork is macerated in Grey Goose before it closes the bottle.
Though Vodka aspires to be an odorless and tasteless spirit on its own, this aspect (somewhat ironically) makes it the perfect base for flavored spirits, as there aren’t any other flavors or aromas to compete with those being added. While some premium producers steep their Vodkas with actual fruit, extracts and concentrates are most commonly used to achieve a desired flavor.
