Indulge in the Luminous Elegance of Poire Blanche

A Sublime Fusion of Italian Wine, Exotic Fruits, and Creamy Indulgence

Each season, our kitchens become a canvas for the timeless beauty of pears. With great care, we select the finest varieties from Europe’s most esteemed orchards, their succulence at its peak, awaiting the touch of masterful hands. While La Poire Rouge explores the rich, warming notes of Bordeaux wine and deep red fruits, Poire Blanche—a pristine creation—is a celebration of light, delicacy, and the allure of Italian wine. Let us embark on a sensory journey through the refined and radiant world of Poire Blanche.


The Ingredients


At the heart of Poire Blanche lies a perfectly ripened pear, poached in Italian white wine. This sumptuous process imbues the fruit with subtle undertones, as it gracefully mingles with an infusion of carefully selected herbs and spices. Each pear is transformed into a tender, aromatic marvel that captures the delicate essence of the season.


The pear rests upon a bed of caramelised berries and exotic dried fruits. This delightful fusion not only adds vibrant colour but also provides a medley of textures and tastes, evoking a sense of playful indulgence. Beneath this lies a buttery oat streusel, lovingly crafted from Australian whole grain oats and the finest A.O.P. French Butter, lending a luscious, crispy element to each bite.


The Twist


Elevating the dish to new heights, we’ve introduced an organic lime and white rum gelée—a refreshing burst of tangy brilliance that cuts through the sweetness, awakening the senses with a zesty kick. This gelée offers a sophisticated contrast to the pear’s natural sweetness, accentuating the layers of flavour in this dish.


The Final Flourish


No experience is complete without the enchanting touch of our Bourbon Vanilla Sauce. This velvety, aromatic addition drapes itself over the pear, weaving together each element of the dish with a silky finish. The delicate vanilla notes meld with the pear’s innate sweetness, creating a lingering sensation of comfort and elegance.


Serving Poire Blanche


Serve Poire Blanche at room temperature, allowing the full spectrum of flavours to unfold in each mouthful. As you savour this exquisite creation, you will find yourself transported to a world where the finest ingredients and impeccable craftsmanship converge, delivering a symphony of textures and tastes that linger on the palate.


Poire Blanche is more than just a dessert; it is a celebration of the sophistication and versatility of pears, a luminous complement to the darker, richer tones of La Poire Rouge. Together, they embody a luxurious exploration of seasonal produce, each plate telling a story of heritage, craft, and sheer indulgence.


Step into the world of refined elegance with Poire Blanche, where the essence of Italian white wine and the freshness of exotic fruits harmonise, bringing you a taste experience unlike any other.
