Poiré Authentique - Eric Bordelet - Pear

Discover this very nice pear, a beautiful vinosity, with a very precise aromatic frame on the pear. The mouth, very fruity and full of freshness, has a bubble with finesse and a crunchy finish. To drink as an aperitif, this weight will also go very well with goat cheese and bitter chocolate.

Eric Bordelet owns in addition to these apple trees, an orchard of multi-centenary pear trees that he also leads there in organic farming. This cuvée of "Poiré l'Authentique" comes from a blend of 14 varieties of pears (Plant de Blanc - Autricotin - De Cloche - Champagne...). The production is done in the same way as for ciders, from an ancestral natural fermentation without chaptalisation.

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

The farm is located on the Upper Brioverien shale, sedimentary rocks dating back to the Precambrian period; they are rocks formed before the primary era, 3 billion years old. These are normally fairly soft rocks, giving rise to silty or limono-clay soils.
