Eric Bordelet Poiré Authentique 2023

Eric Bordelet Poiré Authentique is a lightly sparkling demi-sec perry made from a blend of old pear varieties on the edge of Normandy.

Eric Bordelet worked as a sommelier in Paris before returning to the family farm at Charchigné, on the border of Normandy and the Mayenne, where he farms orchards of pear and apple trees organically and by biodynamic principles. Authentique draws on a blend of traditional perry pear varieties grown on schist and granite soils. The fruit is pressed and fermented slowly on wild yeast through the cold months, and the wine is bottled with its own remaining sugar so that the bubble forms naturally in bottle, with no added sugar, no added carbon dioxide and no chaptalisation. It finishes gently sweet at around 4% alcohol.

An aperitif perry that also works with fresh goat's cheese, pork and apple or pear tarts; serve well chilled at six to eight degrees.
