Our best selling fruit liqueur! A divine pear liqueur, enhanced by a Massenez pear eau-de-vie aged for more than 8 years... Enjoy tasting Golden Eight in its amber color with hints of warm, reddish gold; a divine promise of a truly great liqueur... Right from the beginning, as soon as you open the bottle, the powerful, warm fragrance of perfectly ripe Williams pear is released with an inkling of warm, gourmet notes make it very tempting to taste. And then... A sweet symphony emerges, generous and sensual, with all the aromas of a freshly picked pear, almost candied or in the form of jam, before revealing delicate, caramelized vanilla notes, merging into the light cascades of the eau-de-vie that brought it to life: a Massenez Pear Liqueur aged for more than 8 years. A unique, exclusive signature of the Massenez distillery since 1870, the recipe for which has been a closely guarded secret among master liquorists. Preferably to be enjoyed chilled or on ice. Appearance: golden with caramel hues. Nose: pleasing, very pleasant, expressive, very open to the fruit. Palate: very generous, well balanced, rounded. Lively attack, crunching fruit, persistent freshness. Fruity structure. Rounded development. Lovely persistence. Very harmonious finish, enchanting for the palate. Comments: remarkable quality, a real indulgence.

Region: Alsace

Step into any good wine store, and you'll easily be able to recognize the Alsatian wines, due to their slender, Germanic bottles which contain wines made from one or more of the grapes native to the region. The wines of Alsace are well known around the world, and for centuries they have been renowned for their quality and fascinating features. The grapes allowed to be used in Alsace wines are carefully overseen by the French government, and only nine different fine varietals are permitted to be grown within the vineyards of Alsace. Most commonly, wineries process Pinot Noir and Riesling varietal grapes for their wines, although it is also common to see a blend of other Germanic and French native grapes listed on the bottles.
