I didn\u2019t know much about his story, except that he is the cellar master who created the first French vodka, and in the Cognac region. Nothing less. Here is my meeting with Fran\u00e7ois Thibault of Grey Goose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Passion of Creation by&nbsp;Fran\u00e7ois Thibault of&nbsp;Grey Goose<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first thing we ask ourselves when we meet the Chai master who created the recipe for Grey Goose vodka, is whether after more than 20 years he is still passionate about his product? To ask the question is to answer it. After all these years, he is still the one who oversees the artisanal manufacture of Grey Goose, in order to ensure its exceptional quality. His passion for different alcohols comes from his family, winemakers in Cognac, where he is still today. After studying viticulture and oenology in the regions of Burgundy and Bordeaux, he began a career by taking charge of a wine production plant.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-40176\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/The-Grey-Goose-Espresso-Martini.jpg\" alt=\"The-Grey-Goose-Espresso-Martini\" class=\"wp-image-40176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/The-Grey-Goose-Espresso-Martini.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/The-Grey-Goose-Espresso-Martini-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/The-Grey-Goose-Espresso-Martini-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/The-Grey-Goose-Espresso-Martini-114x114.jpg 114w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/The-Grey-Goose-Espresso-Martini-250x250.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Grey Goose<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was after a few years that he decided to return to his native lands to create products for which he devoted love, Cognac and Pineau de&nbsp;Charentes at H.&nbsp;Mounier. As is the tradition, he learned the hard way of the job, spending 7 years learning this expertise and acquiring all the qualities in order to become a Chai Master. It was in 1982, when his mentor went into retirement, that Fran\u00e7ois\u2019s ambitions were fulfilled and became the successor and then became responsible for the quality of the known Cognac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>The Grey Goose call<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Teyb9BSCwTY\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Fran\u00e7ois had been in the field for more than a quarter of a century, it was an old friend, Sydney Frank, now deceased, first importer of J\u00e4germeister in the United States and creator with Fran\u00e7ois du&nbsp;Cognac Jacques Cardin, who proposed him a new avenue, to create a superior 100% French luxury vodka. It is with his adage of it is only with the best products that we obtain a quality product that Thibault joins the adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Searching for the best wheat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailymotion.com\/embed\/video\/x17ez23\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"> <\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is thanks to a baker friend that he found the best wheat, that of the region of Picardy, the same as the one you find in the best baguettes that make the happiness of all those who pass on the Champs Elys\u00e9es. It must be said that he had his recipe in mind and it is with pure spring water from Gensac-la-Pallue that he mixed his wheat to obtain the recipe we have today. Moreover, it is this same recipe, produced in France, that you will find today for all the bottles of the planet goes without saying. Fran\u00e7ois\u2019s motto, which he once again uttered at our supper, and which I loved to hear as an entrepreneur: \u201cI had no idea it was impossible, so I did it,\u201d a quote from the famous American writer Mark Twain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the holidays, Grey Goose offers a beautiful box with a recyclable metal packaging, it is made to put flour after use. The link between wheat and vodka is well present in the marketing of this magnificent box. But hurry, for you will find it only for a limited time.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is a recipe to enjoy by the fire during the festive season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
