Eric Bordelet Poire Granit 2025

Centuries-Old Pear Trees on Granite – A Perry That Drinks Like Fine Wine

Eric Bordelet is widely regarded as the reference producer of French cider and perry. A former head sommelier at Alain Passard’s L’Arpège in Paris, he returned in 1992 to his family estate, Château de Hauteville in Charchigné, where Mayenne meets Normandy’s Domfrontais. His orchards – around 30 apple and 20 pear varieties, many from very old trees on granite and schist – are farmed biodynamically, picked by hand and fermented slowly with natural yeasts. The result: ciders and perries with the depth and finesse of fine wine.

Poire Granit is Bordelet’s flagship perry. It comes from ancient perry-pear trees – some of them centuries old – scattered across the region and rooted deep in granite, which gives the wine its name and its striking minerality.

🍐 Tasting Notes

The fresh, youthful face of Granit. Pure, crunchy pear with lemon zest, white blossom and a flinty, earthy edge; an elegant, fine bubble, crisp acidity and a long, stony finish. Delicious now, and it will reward a few years in the cellar.

🍽️ Food Pairing

Oysters and shellfish, smoked fish, goat’s cheese, Asian dishes with gentle heat, galettes and pear desserts.
