G.E. Massenez Williams Pear Eau-de-Vie Poire Prisonniere

Icon of the Massenez Brand, the William Pear eau de vie “Prisoner Pear” captivates with its olfactory and gustative qualities and the pear-shaped bottle with a whole pear inside.

The bottle is simply attached to the pear tree in flower... so the fruit develops inside the bottle. 

When it ripens, the fruit and the bottle are carefully detached.

Williams Pear Eau-de-Vie from the MASSENEZ distillery is outstandingly refined, concentrated and balanced.

An intense emotion true to the personality of the original fruit.

Color: Clear, colorless, with characteristic fruit Eaux-de-Vies brilliance. A supple, fluid Eau-de-Vie.Nose: Clean and typical of Williams Pear, with no strange notes. The intense nose is an indication of the quality of the selection of the original fruits and delicate distillation. Very fruity, long lasting and truly inviting bouquet.

Palate: The rounded ‘’ grain ‘’ of the Pear is very noticeable. In the mouth, a very intense floral note gives great freshness. Intense fruity note, with an initial perception of fresh fruit overlaid by ripe fruit and marmalade or jam. Very prominent spicy endnote with a hint of Liquorice typical of williams pear.

MASSENEZ’s Williams Pear Eau-de-Vie obtained the Gold Medal at the Concours Mondial des Spiritueux in Canada in June 2011 and 2012.
