Distillerie Massenez – Poire Williams

The Poire Williams Pear Eau-de-Vie from the MASSENEZ distillery stands out due to its refined character, concentration and balance. An intense emotional experience that is true to the personality of its original fruit.

This Eau-de-Vie is a staple of Distillerie Massenez, and is one of their best sellers, in France but also in the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan… The reason becomes clear from the moment you open this traditional flute! The nose is intense and fruity, and the palate is harmonious, with an even balance between the freshness of the fruit and its roundness… It is easy to notice the fruit and this is no coincidence, as one bottle contains the equivalent of fourteen kilograms of Williams Pears.

A superb eau-de-vie, a signature of the Massenez distillery, to be enjoyed as a digestif, in a cocktail… Or even in your fruit salads, sorbets…

Brand

Distillerie Massenez

Founded in 1864, in Fougerolles, Franche-Comté, the Grandes Distilleries Peureux are chaired by Bernard Baud and are famous throughout the world thanks to the « Griottines » (cherries macerated in eau-de-vie or kirsch), true emblem of the family business. In 2010, The Grands Distilleries Peureux join forces with the Massenez Distillery’s expertise. The latter was born in 1870 in Val de Villé, Alsace. At that time, the founder Jean-Baptiste Massenez worked as a traditional distiller and then unknowingly opened a royal road to his descendants who inherited his expertise : his son Eugène Massenez became a master distiller recognized in the professionempreint, then in the 80s, Manou Massenez will give it a feminine imprint. In 2020, Les Grandes Distilleries Peureux and the Massenez Distillery celebrate together the 150th anniversary of this family adventure.
