Eric Bordelet

Eric Bordelet, a trained sommelier ( ), has been a "pomologist and poirologist" since 1992. He tenderly cares for a 19-hectare orchard on the schist and granite-rich Armorican Massif in southern Normandy. The trees, ranging in age from 40 to 100 years (and even up to 300 years for some), produce about sixty different varieties of apples and pears.

The orchard is managed in the most natural way possible, following biodynamic principles. Harvesting is done by hand and on a selective basis, depending on the fruit’s ripeness and variety. This raw material of exceptional quality allows Eric Bordelet to craft authentic, traditional “Haute Couture” ciders and perries. Eric Bordelet’s ciders and perries offer a unique way to enjoy these nectars—a must-try!
