Poirelle

Poirelle is pear-flavoured liqueur made from essences distilled from William Pears. These essences are combined with cognacs that have been aged at least 10 years in wood.

It’s made by the Maison Roullet-Fransac in Chermignac, France (Chermignac is in the heart of the Cognac region.) The company was founded in 1838 and is still family owned. Roullet-Fransac also makes cognacs and the liqueur called Bauchant.

Poirelle comes in a tall frosted glass bottle shaped like a standard 750 ml wine bottle.

The alcohol content is 28% abv.
