Eric Bordelet Poiré Authentique 750ml

ABV: 4.5%

Style: French Perry

Traditional French sparkling Perry. This delightful bottle of Pear Cider from Normandy is full of pear flavours and a subtle hint of sweetness, balanced by clean acidity. Made traditionally from old orchards that have never been sprayed, this is a great food pairing for scallops, savoury crepes and all manner of salads, delicate fruit based desserts or even cheese. Versatile, refreshing and delicious!

The biodynamically farmed orchards – covering roughly 15 hectares – are situated in southern Normandy. The land is composed of schists and sedimentary rocks dating back to the pre-Cambrian period three million years ago. The granite and broken schists form a complex soil and sub-soil that provides the foundation for the terrain.
Eric grows 20 varieties of apples and 15 varieties of pear. Some of his pear trees are over 300 years old.

After the process of selecting, crushing, pressing and settling, the natural traditional fermentation takes place in vat or barrel and in bottle over weeks and months according to the amount of residual sugar in the respective cuvées and therefore without the addition of any sugar.
