Founded in 1656 along the Charente river, Maison Brillet stands as one of Cognac's historic houses, with ten generations of expertise in Grande and Petite Champagne terroirs. The chalky, limestone-rich soils of these prestigious crus create ideal conditions for growing the Ugni Blanc grapes used in their cognacs [based on typical Grande/Petite Champagne terroir]. The family's commitment to excellence spans over three centuries, with their estate in Graves-Saint-Amant serving as the cornerstone of their craft since Vivien Brillet established their distillery in 1850.
The Original Pear & Cognac Liqueur showcases a brilliant harvest gold color and masterfully balances the bright, natural sweetness of ripe Bartlett pears with the warmth of fine cognac. The palate experiences fresh-cut pear and honey notes, complemented by subtle vanilla and caramel undertones from the cognac aging process. This elegant marriage of fruit and spirit finishes with a refreshing tartness, making it equally suitable for sipping neat or as a sophisticated cocktail component.
