La Cigogne - Eau de Vie de Poire William
La Cigogne makes this Eau de Vie de Poire William in France. It is a clear, brilliant fruit brandy bottled at 45% abv, and it is built around a single fruit: the Williams pear, in a spirit rather than a sweet liqueur.
The nose is intensely perfumed, with ripe Williams pear, white blossom and a touch of honey. The palate is clean and silky, with juicy pear flesh, a little almond and light floral notes. The alcohol warms without harshness and gives the fruit structure. The finish is long, fragrant and delicately fruity.
The spirit is made from Williams pears, a variety with aromatic, juicy flesh. Eau de vie is about fidelity to the fruit, and this follows that line: the pear leads and nothing competes with it.
Serve it neat, as a digestif. Its signature cocktail is The Stork's Flight. At the table, pair it with a cheese plate, nuts and seeds, fruit-based desserts, cakes or chocolate.
