Massenez Poire Williams

In spring when fruit from the pear tree begins to appear it is trapped inside a bottle hung on the tree. The pear then grows inside the bottle until it reaches its optimum size. The bottles which are then taken down with their fruit are put in different alcohol baths before the final Eau-de-Vie is added which will soak up the flavours of the ripe fruit. This demanding process requires the joint expertise of the arborist and the Maitre Distilateur. Each year variations in climate and the whims of nature give each bottle its unique character. Savour this Eau-de-Vie symbolic of the house of Massenez: finesse and elegance on the palate an intense pear taste that brings great freshness. To be served cool or at room temperature.
