Who makes Kirkland Signature French Vodka (1.75 L)?
As of July 5, 2026, the manufacturer of Kirkland Signature French Vodka (1.75 L) is Distillerie de Gayant, per on-label, first-party, or executive statement evidence.
The common claim
What most answers say — and what the evidence supports
Shoppers assume the five-times-distilled French bottle is rebadged Grey Goose, since both are made in France. The label attributes it to Distillerie de Gayant in Douai, France — reported by Slate from the TTB label database and by Tasting Table — while Grey Goose's own FAQ states it does not produce or privately label Kirkland vodka. US import has been reported as LeVecke Corporation (Tasting Table) and, in Slate's 2024 label read, Misa Imports of Dallas.
Evidence & sources
Every source is graded on the six-tier rubric and archived, so the citation holds even if the original moves or paywalls. The tier badge grades the source; the status grades our confidence in the maker.
Tier 4
The COLA-method piece: "the label for Kirkland Signature French Vodka indicates that it was bottled by Distillerie de Gayant in Douai, France, and imported by Misa Imports in Dallas." Same federal-label-database approach that identified the American vodka's bottler as LeVecke Corporation ("produced and bottled by a company called Fairmont Ltd ... In actuality, it's made by LeVecke Corporation"). Upgrade path: the TTB COLA registry itself (tier 3) is the deterministic anchor — ttbonline.gov blocks bots, so pull the Kirkland French Vodka COLA in Ian's browser to promote the tier.
Tier 4
Corroborates the label attribution: "Costco's Kirkland Signature French vodka is crafted by Gayant Distillery of Douai, France. Distributor company LeVecke Corporation then delivers the bottles to Costco stores," and that it "goes through five distillations, as opposed to Grey Goose's single run-through." (Slate's 2024 COLA read lists Misa Imports of Dallas as importer of record; the two differ on the US importer but agree the distiller is Gayant.)
