Emblematic of the Massenez brand, the Prisonnière Pear fascinates, both for its taste and olfactory qualities and for its pear-shaped bottle trapping the pear inside. The bottle is placed on the pear tree when it blooms, and then the fruit develops inside the bottle until maturity or the fruit and the bottle are delicately detached. One of the most delicious and fragrant brandies made from Alsace's abundant supply of fruit is that of the Williams Pear, Eau-de-vie de Poire Williams (Pear Brandy). Made by fermenting crushed ripe fruit for up to six weeks and then distilling it to a relatively low strength, which preserves its distinctive bouquet. It is then allowed to age. Knowing exactly the necessary time for the aging and mellowing of a brandy-like Poire Williams is one of the secrets of a great distiller's craft. The fruity taste of Williams Pear eau-de-vie (Brandy) is appreciated by a large number of consumers. This is not surprising since each bottle contains the equivalent of fourteen kilograms of Williams pears.
