The Poire Bezi de Chaumontel is a historic variety born from a random seed around 1690, its precise origin remarkably preserved thanks to 18th-century archives.
This illustration captures the fruit's characteristic silhouette: elongated and plump, with grayish-green skin that turns golden yellow in the sun, and its semi-buttery, melting flesh delivering sweet and delicious juice.
Extracted from Poiteau and Turpin's Traité des Arbres Fruitiers (1807-1835), this plate combines scientific rigor with an artistic sensibility that defines the golden age of botanical illustration.
