Eric Bordelet is a Calvados producer from southern Normandy. After a long apprenticeship with some of the biggest names in the restaurant and wine world, the former sommelier took over the family business in 1992. The estate consists of 23 hectares of apple and pear orchards and has been organically certified since 1996. More than 30 varieties of apples and pears grow here, which are always picked by hand.
Description: Juicy, thirst-quenching and refreshing cider made from pears.
Great with: Perfect as an aperitif or with lunch.
Fun fact: Pears contain more sorbitol (a natural sugar alcohol) that ferments less well, which often makes pear cider slightly sweeter.
