Belle De Brillet - Poire Liqueur 700ml

Belle de Brillet Liqueur represents a masterful blend of two great French traditions. Created in 1985 by Jean Louis Brillet as a tribute to his wife Isabelle, this elegant spirit combines the intense fruitiness of Anjou pears with the delicate complexity of fine Cognac.

The production process is incredibly pure. The makers use no artificial colors, neutral alcohol, or flavor additives. Instead, it takes the equivalent of eighteen Williams pears to produce a single bottle. Farmers hand pick these pears in the Anjou region. The fruit ripens naturally outdoors before being crushed and fermented without added yeast. This natural pear base is then distilled in a traditional copper column still.

The Cognac component comes from a single, sustainably farmed vineyard in the Fins Bois region. Made from Ugni Blanc grapes, the wine undergoes a double distillation in a classic Charentais still before aging in new oak barrels. Finally, the pear spirit and Cognac are blended with pure water and a touch of vanilla sugar made from fresh Madagascar vanilla.

Bottled at thirty percent alcohol, this liqueur stands out from sweeter, artificial competitors. It offers an authentic, rich pear flavor perfectly balanced by the floral and oak notes of the Cognac. Enjoy Belle de Brillet Liqueur neat, poured over ice, or mixed into a sophisticated cocktail. It serves beautifully as an aperitif before dinner or a relaxing digestif to end the evening.
