MASSENEZ Eaux-de-Vie Poire Prisionaire

MASSENEZ Eaux-de-Vie Poire Prisonnière is a sophisticated expression of the Massenez distillery, located in the Alsace region of France. This exclusive pear eau-de-vie stands out for its unusual production process, in which a ripe pear is placed inside the bottle while still growing on the tree, creating a natural “prison”. Careful distillation of the fruit ensures a beverage of exceptional quality, capturing the purest and most authentic essence of the pear. This eau-de-vie is a true tribute to the French artisanal tradition and the distilling expertise of Massenez.

TASTING NOTES

COLOR: Its appearance is crystal clear, like pure water. Its transparency reflects the elegance of a refined spirit, with a slight luminosity that evokes freshness and delicacy.

NOSE: On first inhalation, an explosion of ripe pear aromas invades the senses. The fruit is presented in its most clear and natural form, with hints of fresh pear peel and a soft floral note reminiscent of spring blossom. A delicate background of herbaceous notes and a subtle syrupy essence complete the olfactory complexity.

TASTE: On the palate, it is silky and enveloping, with a perfectly balanced sweetness. The pear unfolds with a vibrant intensity, but without being cloying, accompanied by a softness that melts slowly. The finish is long, leaving a clean and slightly fruity aftertaste, with a hint of freshness that invites another sip. The texture is smooth, almost velvety, and the overall sensation is that of a drink that knows perfectly how to balance its fruity character with the finesse of a well-achieved distillation.
