Belle Paire is an exceptional pear liqueur distilled in Provence, marrying fine French cognac and Poire Williams. Experience the exceptional blend of “les Hautes Alpes” pears, picked at the height of ripeness, and cognac from the Fins Bois region, as you would any fine cognac. If you prefer something a tad lighter, try it slightly chilled on the rocks.
The Williams Pears are grown in the South of the French Alpes, an area that offers an ideal environment for their growth. The coolness of the altitude combined with the sparkling sunshine results in pears bursting with remarkable flavor.
The pears are then picked at the peak of ripeness during the summer months and macerated. Then, the pears are pressed and fermented. After fermentation, the Poire Williams juice is collected and placed in a large metal still, where it’s steamed by fire. The vapors are then captured and cooled and become liquid.
