Magnum Poiré Granit

The Cuvée Granit, presented in a magnificent magnum worthy of the greatest champagnes, is the latest creation of Éric Bordelet.

Discover with this cuvée Granit, a perry of great class. It is marked by a light effervescence, all in elegance. The aromatic framework is on apple and pear with lemony and earthy notes. The palate is round and smooth, with a complex and long finish. Drink now or cellar for a few years to gain complexity.

The Granit cuvée comes from a granitic terroir which gives it a great typicity with a beautiful minerality. It is the expression of pears from very old trees (300 years old) measuring 20 metres in height which have never seen a drop of chemical treatment. 17 varieties of pears rigorously sorted and distributed in identical quantities make up this cuvée each year, in order to perceive the identity of the vintage.

Eric Bordelet's estate is located in southern Normandy, on the Armorican massif in the extension of the Domfrontais on the borders of Mayenne and Orne.

The operation is located on Upper Brioverian shales, sedimentary rocks dating from the Precambrian period; these are rocks formed before the primary era, 3 billion years old. They are normally quite soft rocks, giving rise to silty or silty-clay soils.

Grape varieties: 20 varieties (sweet, bitter, sour) such as Kermerien - Douce Moène - Fréquin Rouge - Damelot - Marie Ménard....
14 varieties for Poiré like Plant de Blanc - Autricotin - De Cloche - Champagne....

At present, organic and bio-dynamic cultivation seems to be the most suitable in terms of fruit quality. Indeed the Domaine d'Éric Bordelet has the 2000 ECOCERT licence of commitment of organic production.
