Product Description
The William pears used to make this exceptional liqueur are picked in early September, when the first hints of autumn appear in the orchards of Anjou. After they are picked and given a few extra days of ripening, the pears are deemed to be at peak flavour and aroma, at which point they are crushed and left to naturally ferment. When October comes, they are distilled to produce the pear eau-de-vie that will form the basis of Belle de Brillet.
