G.E. Massenez Poire-Williams Prisonnière is a Williams pear brandy from the celebrated Alsace fruit distiller G.E. Massenez — a clear, colorless eau-de-vie with the characteristic brilliance of fine fruit spirits and a clean, intensely fruity Williams pear character. Famous for the whole pear grown and captured inside the bottle (the “prisoner”).

All Massenez products are 100% natural with no added aromas, colorings, or preservatives, combining traditional distillation methods with modern production standards. The intense nose reflects the quality of the original fruit selection and delicate distillation.
