Cider and Poiré from Normandy
Normandy's cider orchards produce between 300 and 350,000 tonnes of cider apples each year, of which only a portion is processed by industrial companies. Another part of the fruit is used for family cider production, or for artisanal or farm processing.
Traditional orchards are still found mainly in two geographical areas: the Pays d'Auge and the Bocages Normands (southern Manche and the Bocages of Calvados and Orne). The surface area of these plantations has tended to shrink considerably in favor of specialized orchards, or low-stem orchards, particularly since the storm of December 1999, located in Calvados and serving a more industrialized production.

Eric Bordelet - Sydre Brut 2023
If you've never drunk Eric Bordelet's ciders or perries, it's high time you discovered them. With its lively, refreshing character, the "Brut" will be the ideal accompaniment to good "casse-croûtes" with charcuterie and cheeses, and of course to Breton galettes...
Eric Bordelet - Poiré Granit 2022
4.3/5 (7 reviews)
97/100 RVF
Poiré Granit defines the rock where the pear tree's roots plunge into the granite faults. The pear tree's deep root system leaves its mark with a beautiful minerality. This aspect is more present in this cuvée, which is made from 200-300 year-old trees. A blend of as many varieties as possible, in identical quantities each year, to capture the flavors of the vintage.
Eric Bordelet - Sydre Argelette 2022
4/5 (2 reviews)
96/100 RVF
L'Argelette (the name given by the old-timers) refers to the schistose pebbles on which the orchard stands. A "Grand Cru" cuvée made from old trees and as many varieties as possible. The fruit is blended in the same way every year: 40% bitter, 40% sweet and 20% tart, in keeping with the vintage. A complex, vinous cider with good ageing potential, thanks to its balance of substance, acidity, roundness, fullness and minerality.
Eric Bordelet - Sidre Tendre 2023
A cider with lovely aromas of wild apples, a tangy mouthfeel, a lovely sweetness and a good mellowness. A very elegant cuvée with fine bubbles, best served at the end of a meal, with desserts, or as a "four hours" with warm pastries.
Eric Bordelet - Poiré Authentique 2023
Limited in production, perry is less well known to the public than cider. It is made from the fermentation of pear juice. This Poiré Authentique is a highly appetizing wine. The freshness of its fruit makes it a perfect aperitif cuvée, just as it is the perfect accompaniment to seafood and goat's cheese.
Eric Bordelet - Sydre Argelette 2017 (magnum)
L'Argelette (the name given by the old-timers) refers to the schistose pebbles on which the orchard stands. A "Grand Cru" cuvée made from old trees and as many varieties as possible. The fruit is blended in the same way every year: 40% bitter, 40% sweet and 20% tart, in keeping with the vintage. A complex, vinous cider with good ageing potential, thanks to its balance of substance, acidity, roundness, fullness and minerality. A cuvée made for the table.
Eric Bordelet - Poiré Authentique (magnum) 2019
Limited in production, perry is less well known to the public than cider. It is made from the fermentation of pear juice, and is part of Normandy's traditional heritage. This Poiré Authentique is immediately appealing, thanks to its great taste. The freshness of its fruit makes it a perfect aperitif cuvée, just as it is the perfect companion for seafood and goat's cheese. Authentic, without a doubt!
Eric Bordelet - Sidre Brut Tendre 2016
4/5 (1 review)
Halfway between brut and doux, the Brut Tendre cuvée, which still has some residual sugar, still offers a fine balance between fruit and substance. Slightly windier by nature, it's a pleasant accompaniment to an entire meal of everyday cooking... A great deal of delicacy!
Eric Bordelet - Sidre Doux
3.7/5 (11 reviews)
Superb aromas of wild apples, a tangy mouthfeel with a lovely sweetness and mellowness, this is the cuvée to reserve for the end of a meal with desserts, or for "four hours" on pastries served warm. Low in alcohol (3% Vol.), this bottle is a real invitation to indulge!
