La Poire d'Olivet


Poire d'Olivet is made with William pears harvested in the orchards around Orléans. It is manufactured in two stages with, first of all, the distillation of the harvest for the year in progress, and, secondly, the bottling of the pears in spring while they are still just small branches, meaning that the pears grow inside the bottles.
