Producer Profile

Eric Bordelet

Eric Bordelet approaches Cider-making with the same intensity as a passionate Oenologist brings to Winemaking. Bordelet worked as Sommelier in the leading 3 star Parisian restaurant, ‘Arpege’ where he became deeply familiar with the top winemakers and wineries of France. In 1992 he took over the tiny patch of family farmed orchards in Charchigné, in the heart of Normandy’s premium Cider producing area. Since then he has set about rescuing the ancient ‘heirloom’ varieties of pears and apples that produce tiny quantities and amazing flavour.

The fruit is dry-farmed, as Bordelet prefers to work with tiny very flavor-some apples and pears. ”The fruit we work with looks quite different from what you’ll find in the grocery store.” says Eric. “I know what each apple variety brings to the cider,” he says, explaining that some Ciders can have about 20 different varieties used. “… I use about 40% of sweet apples, 40% sour apples and 20% of acidic apples to get the right balance.” ericbordelet.com

Eric Bordelet / Normandy / France / cider / NV

The biodynamic orchards are comprised of trees upto 50+ years old containing 40-50 varieties of heirloom apples. The hand-harvested fruit is dehydrated for 4-5 weeks and simply ground and pressed then settled for clarification before fermenting naturally, originating in tank and finishing in bottle. Bubbles develop within two weeks of bottling. It has lovely aromatics of graham and baked apple, followed by elegant bubbles and an off-dry profile on the palate.
