Belle Paire
Pear Liqueur
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.

SALES TOOL COCKTAILSBelle Paire is an exceptional one-of-a kind blend of pear Eau de Vie and French Cognac.
Separately, the Cognac from the "Fins Bois" region is aged in Limousin oak barrels. Just before bottling, the natural Poire Williams Liqueur marries with the fine French Cognac, to create Belle Paire.
Botanical
Belle Paire can be experienced as if it was a fine cognac.
Straight in a snifter, or in a short, old fashioned glass, or slightly chilled on the rocks. The smooth and delicious taste of this luscious pear liqueur is truly a sublime experience. (30% abv and 60 proof).
Williams Pears
Williams Pears
The Williams' bon chrétien pear, commonly called the Williams pear or the Bartlett pear in the United States and Canada, is the most commonly grown variety of pear in most countries outside Asia. The fruit has a bell shape, considered the traditional pear shape in the west, and its green skin turns yellow upon later ripening, although red-skinned derivative varieties exist. It is considered a summer pear, not as tolerant of cold as some varieties. It is often eaten raw, but holds its shape well when baked, and is a common choice for canned or other processed pear uses.
