"The most famous of the great Dijon mustard firms was founded in 1777. Monsieur Grey, who had developed a secret recipe for a strong mustard made with white wine, formed a partnership with Monsieur Poupon, who supplied the financial backing to manufacture the product. This is how the mustard became known as Grey Poupon, it was named after Poupon." His full name is Auguste Poupon.

At this website http://www.metnews.com/articles/2005/reminiscing011305.htm

it is stated:
In his 1953 trademark application, Bernard Poupon of Paris showed 1901 as the date “Grey-Poupon” was first used in commerce in the U.S., presumably as an import. Grey-Poupon Mustard was first produced in the United States in 1946 by Heublein Inc., a liquor company, to which Poupon assigned his rights in 1967. The brand was sold in 1981 to R.J. Reynolds Industries, maker of Camels, Salems and Winston’s cigarettes, and was manufactured under the Nabisco umbrella after R.J. Reynolds bought Nabisco in September, 1985. In December, 2000, Philip Morris (now known as Altria Group) bought Nabisco, and consigned Grey Poupon to its Kraft Foods component."
