Cazottes Distillery - Goutte de Poire Williams - 45%
The Cazottes Distillery is located in Villeneuve-sur-Vère in Tarn . Laurent Cazottes , heir to the know-how of a traveling distiller, cultivates his fruits and flowers in organic farming , using biodynamic practices. He has around 600 Williams variety pear trees, 200 Reine Claude Dorée plum trees, and vines since 2010. He produces brandies, liqueurs as well as aperitifs and wine.
This brandy is made from Williams pears that have been overripe for more than a month. They are sorted then hulled. Eyes, glitches and bedsores are removed manually. After crushing, fermentation begins without inputs and lasts 6 weeks. After slow distillation, the eau-de-vie is aged in demijohn and bottled as demand increases.
