Wine for sale: Eric Bordelet
Eric Bordelet
Eric Bordelet crafts top ciders and perry. Inspired by fine wine and armed with olid sommelier experience, his drinks are parcel-focused from orchard terroirs in western France. A surprising discovery!
An outlier in the world of iDealwine, Eric Bordelet's domain was founded in 1992. After learning from some of the biggest names in gastronomy, this former sommelier took the chance to take over his family's domain. He thus became the owner of twenty hectares of orchards, where he grows around thirty varieties of apples and pears organically, producing unique cider and perry. The notion of terroir matters to this producer, and the drinks he makes are parcel-focused, with cuvées like Argelette and Granit named after the terroirs where they were cultivated. At the domain, harvests are selective and carried out by hand, taking place between September and December due to the large number of varieties. The cider and perry are fermented in vats before bottling with residual sugar. An admirable craft resulting in a product loved by all kinds of enthusiasts, including the iDealwine team!
