About this bottle
G.E. Massenez Poire Prisonnière is a pear eau-de-vie from Distillerie Massenez, a family-owned French distillery in Dieffenbach-au-Val in Alsace, founded in 1870 and still run by descendants of the founding family. It's made from pure pears slowly distilled in copper alembic stills, producing a clear, unaged spirit that carries the fruit's flavor through distillation rather than masking it with wood or sugar. The name references the pear grown inside the bottle, a Poire Williams tradition where the fruit ripens on the branch through the bottle's neck. Expect ripe, juicy pear aromatics with a clean, dry finish. It's an aperitif and after-dinner spirit built for pear lovers who want the fruit unfiltered.
How to drink G.E. Massenez Poire Prisonnière
Serve it well-chilled in a small glass as an aperitif or digestif — it doesn't want ice, just cold. It also makes an elegant addition to a Champagne cocktail if you want to dress it up.
