Mathilde Poire Danjou Pear Liqueur

Description

We use the Bon-Chretien Williams pear, also called Bartlett, to make Mathilde Poire. When ripe, it boasts a golden skin and a very tasty and juicy flesh. In order to extract as much as possible from the pears, we press the fruits into a juice that is fermented before the final distillation. 18% ABVThe pear distillate is then enhanced with a touch of quince, a pear-like fruit with an intense aroma. This particular step intensifies the pear flavor. A one-week maceration process ensues that, in turn, produces a fresh and luscious pear liqueur.Awards90-95 Points – Wine Enthusiast Gold Medal2009 San Francisco World Spirits Competition
