A dry, ripe pear nose with a hearty eau-de-vie character. Initially, somewhat sweet and liqueur-like in mouthfeel, the pear essence comes through loud and clear, while the substantial Cognac flavor carries the load. A lovely surprise is the vanilla bean coming through at the finish and leaving a warm, creamy dessert flavor on the tongue. This is a fine liqueur to end a meal with. Try pairing with crème brûlée, brie, or alongside a pear tart.
