Mette Poire William Half Bottle Eau de Vie

 *375 ml. This has fresh cut pear aromas and slightly floral. Good texture with a touch of petrol, juicy pear flavors with a touch of spice and heat in the finish. Clean and crisp.  D&M Tasting Notes

Eau de vie, literally water of life, is alcohol as it comes out of the still, clear and full of primary fruit aromas and flavors. What will eventually become cognac, armagnac and calvados is actually eau de vie when it exits the alambic. But normally when one speaks ofeau de vie, one speaks of clear fruit brandies that are literally the distilled essence of the fruit from which they are made. Charles Neal
