at San Francisco Spirits Competition!

 The 2003 San Francisco Spirits Competition simply validated what many have been discovering. Douce Provence is at the top of its class. Simply put, this exceptional one-of-a-kind liqueur that blends Poire Williams and Cognac is starting to raise some eyebrows. You can start with the Double Gold Medal Douce Provence received from the distinguished panel of judges at this year's San Francisco Wine and Spirits Competition. Go to

Now, the meat and potatoes. The Williams Pears are grown in the "Les Hautes Alpes," situated in the south of the French Alps. This area offers the ideal environment for growing pears. The coolness of the altitude combined with the sparkling sunshine results in pears bursting with remarkable flavor. The pears are then picked at the peak of ripeness during the summer months and macerated upon market demand.
Now the pears are pressed and then fermented. After fermentation, the Poire Williams juice is collected and placed in a large metal still, where it's steamed by fire. The vapors are captured and cooled, and become liquid. Separately, the Cognac, from the "Fins Bois" region is aged in Limousin oak barrels. Just before bottling, we marry the natural Poire Williams Liqueur with the fine French Cognac, to create Douce Provence.
Experience Douce Provence straight in a snifter, or if you prefer something a little more casual, in a short, old fashioned glass. You can also enjoy it slightly chilled on the rocks. Try it with chocolates or any dessert. It compliments dessert like you wouldn't believe. At a lighter 60 proof, you can truly savor this extraordinary combination of Poire Williams and Cognac.
Available in a stunning 750ml bottle, with a distinctive Provincial label design,
Douce Provence is simply the finest Pear Liqueur available.
