Winery
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... Appearance: pale, brilliant, clear. Nose: lingering, sharp, exuberant, with beautiful density. Palate: complex, harmonious, delicate, round. With pleasant notes of fresh fruit. Well balanced, opulent. A long, flavorsome finish with the taste of fruit.

Region: Alsace

Alsace has to be one of the most fascinating regions of France, with a history which stretches back millennia, and demonstrates perfectly the kind of blended culture that can arise from being located on the border between two enormously important, yet very different countries. Indeed, being on the border between France and Germany has resulted in Alsatian wines being something of a mix between the wines of these two countries. Riesling varietal grapes are grown in enormous quantities here, and display all of their crisp, dry complexity perfectly in the famous wines of Alsace. Alongside this typically Germanic wine, Alsatian vintners also produce plenty of Pinot Noir, Gewurztraminer, Muscat and Sauvignon Vert wines, all of which are superb when it comes to expressing the finer features of the wonderful Alsatian terroir.

Country: France

It is widely understood and accepted that the finest wines in the world come out of France. Whether you are drinking a vintage bottle from one of the famed Grand Cru wineries of Bordeaux - such as Chateau Margaux or Chateau Lafite-Rothschild - or a more simple and affordable bottle from one of the lesser known appellations in Burgundy, the likelihood is that the wine is packed full of intense and interesting flavors, and has a fine, balanced structure typical of almost all French produce. This reputation for excellence is taken extremely serious by the French, with dozens of regularly updated laws and regulations ensuring the quality and accurate labeling of wines. Such dedication and passion for fine wine, representative of the region in which it is produced, means customers can be assured that when they buy a bottle from France, they are buying something almost certain to please and delight.
