Product details
Grey Goose La Poire 70cl is a pear vodka from France, combining Grey Goose wheat vodka with natural flavourings modelled on the Anjou pear and bottled at 40% ABV. It is a clear flavoured vodka rather than a sweet pear liqueur, so the delicate fragrance of fresh pear sits on a dry, clean structure. Several natural flavourings are blended to capture both the juicy flesh and the crisp skin of the fruit. It suits drinkers who find citrus vodkas too sharp and want something softer and more fragrant. Wodka Company ships Grey Goose La Poire nationwide in the UK, packed carefully in London.
La Poire tasting notes
- Nose: Fresh-cut green pear and a light floral hint of pear blossom.
- Palate: Juicy pear flesh, soft and rounded, carried by the quiet sweetness of the wheat base.
- Finish: Clean and gently warming, closing on crisp pear skin.
The Anjou pear flavour is delicate rather than candied, so the vodka still tastes dry.
How to enjoy Grey Goose La Poire
Chill it well and serve it neat in a small tulip glass, over a single large ice cube or in a long drink. Pear has natural partners on the cheeseboard: blue cheese with walnuts, a ripe Brie or an aged Comté. It also suits roast pork with apple sauce and a pear and almond tart, and it makes an elegant after-dinner pour in autumn, when pears are in season.
Mixing with Grey Goose La Poire
- Pear and Elderflower Collins: 50 ml with 15 ml elderflower cordial and 15 ml fresh lemon juice over ice in a tall glass, topped with 100 ml soda water.
- Pear Ginger Highball: 50 ml over ice with 120 ml ginger beer and a thin slice of fresh pear.
- Pear Martini: 50 ml shaken with 20 ml pear juice, 10 ml lemon juice and 5 ml sugar syrup, strained into a chilled coupe.
How it compares
Grey Goose Essences White Peach & Rosemary also offers orchard-style fruit, but at 30% ABV and with a herbal rosemary layer; La Poire is purer in flavour and fuller in body. Beside the brand's citrus vodkas, Grey Goose L'Orange and Grey Goose Le Citron, it is softer, more fragrant and much less zesty, which makes it the easiest of the three to sip on its own.
Good to know
Grey Goose is a French brand owned by Bacardi, and La Poire is bottled at the same 40% ABV as the original unflavoured vodka. The 70cl bottle fits neatly into a gift box with a pair of tumblers. Keep it in the fridge or freezer for the crispest pour.
Frequently asked questions
Which pear is Grey Goose La Poire based on?
Grey Goose La Poire is modelled on the Anjou pear, a juicy, mild variety whose name comes from the Anjou area of western France. Several natural flavourings are blended to echo both the soft flesh and the crisp skin of the fruit.
What mixer goes with Grey Goose La Poire?
Grey Goose La Poire pairs well with ginger ale, elderflower tonic or soda water with a squeeze of lemon. Ginger adds a gentle spice that suits pear, while elderflower brings out its floral side; use about 50 ml spirit to 150 ml mixer over ice.
Can you drink Grey Goose La Poire neat?
Yes, Grey Goose La Poire can be sipped neat, ideally well chilled in a small glass so the fresh pear aroma comes through. Being a dry flavoured vodka rather than a sweetened liqueur, it tastes cleanest when served cold.
