Origin

Grey Goose Altius is the Alpine expression of Grey Goose vodka, announced on 24 April 2024 and bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof). It uses the same single-origin soft winter wheat from Picardie as the rest of the range, but replaces the brand's Gensac-la-Pallue limestone-well water with spring water from the French Alps — the first Grey Goose expression to do so. After blending it is chilled and filtered at -24 °C, and each bottle is filled by hand and individually numbered.

Nº 01

The Altius Distinction

The first Grey Goose expression built on water from somewhere other than the Gensac-la-Pallue well — Alpine spring water, sourced from high in the French Alps.

The wheat does not change: the same single-origin Picardie soft winter wheat used across the range, so the water is the whole variable.

Chilled and filtered at -24 °C, a step the brand describes as recreating the crystallisation that happens at altitude.

Hand bottled and individually numbered, with each batch reviewed by Cellar Master François Thibault before filling.

40% ABV (80 proof), made in small volume, and launched through European destinations before reaching select US cities.

Grey Goose & Alpine Terroir Heritage

Single-Origin Picardie & Alpine Water

Created under Cellar Master François Thibault, Grey Goose Altius redefines French vodka by celebrating the high-altitude terroir of the French Alps. While traditional Grey Goose utilizes limestone-filtered water from Gensac-la-Pallue, Altius introduces pure mountain spring water, subjected to sub-freezing -24°C filtration to capture glacial minerality and velvet texture.

Sensory Profile & Strategy

Cellar Master Tasting Notes

Sensory Profile

Palate: Alpine minerality, soft green apple, and an earthy undertone beneath.
Texture: Velvety — the quality the -24 °C filtration is aimed at.

Strategic Position

What makes Altius worth tracking is not strength — it sits at the same 40% ABV as the standard bottling — but that it is a controlled experiment. Same wheat, same house, one variable changed, and the brand said so plainly: Thibault framed it as an introduction to a new water source rather than a new recipe. The hand filling and the individual numbering are what turn that into a bottle worth keeping. Find it among our allocated and small-run releases, or set it against the organic Belvedere 10 on the same shelf.

Grey Goose Alpine Landmark

Marks the inaugural release in Grey Goose's luxury prestige tier, housed in a frosted, faceted decanter inspired by Alpine peaks.

Where It Sits in the Vodka Tier

The prestige vodka tier splits between houses that change the grain and houses that change the water. Altius takes the second route, where the gold-filtered Beluga Gold Line builds its case on filtration and resting time instead.

Production Methodology

Grey Goose builds every expression from two ingredients, and for Altius only one of them changed. The wheat is the same soft winter wheat from Picardie in northern France that the brand uses across its range, kept deliberately constant. The water is not: instead of the limestone well at Gensac-la-Pallue in the Cognac region, Altius is blended with spring water drawn from high in the French Alps, which the brand traces from the peaks down through crystalline rock into an alkaline aquifer. After blending, the vodka is chilled and filtered at -24 °C, a step Grey Goose describes as recreating the ice crystallisation that occurs at altitude. Cellar Master François Thibault reviews each batch before filling, and every bottle is filled by hand and given its own number. Grey Goose announced the expression on 24 April 2024, in small volume, releasing it first through European destinations including Ibiza, Mykonos and Saint-Tropez before select US cities and Dubai.

Frequently Asked Questions

What proof is Grey Goose Altius?

Grey Goose Altius is bottled at 40% ABV, which is 80 proof — the same strength as standard Grey Goose. Altius differs in its water and its handling, not its strength: it uses Alpine spring water rather than the brand's Gensac-la-Pallue well, is filtered at -24 °C, and is hand bottled and individually numbered.

How is Grey Goose Altius different from standard Grey Goose?

The water. Both use the same single-origin soft winter wheat from Picardie, but standard Grey Goose is blended with spring water from a limestone well at Gensac-la-Pallue in the Cognac region, while Altius uses spring water from the French Alps. Altius is then chilled and filtered at -24 °C, hand bottled and individually numbered.

When was Grey Goose Altius released?

Grey Goose announced Altius on 24 April 2024 as a small-volume expression. It launched first at European destinations including Ibiza, Mykonos and Saint-Tropez, then reached select cities in the United States and, later that year, Dubai.
