If there is an artist of cider and perry in France, who has given back his letters of nobility to the speciality, it is Eric Bordelet, whose first job was to be a sommelier, it should be remembered. All his production is worth the diversions. Such as this Argelette, which represents the summit of the range: excellent nose, clean, square and precise on the rustic apple, acidity and spices; the mouth is marvellous of structure, sapidity and length.

Technique

Viticulture

(19 varieties of which 40% are bitter, 40% sweet and 20% sour) on a terroir of schist and rock several thousand years old in Charchigné in southern Normandy. Eric took over the farm in 1992 after a brilliant career as a sommelier in the famous three-starred Parisian restaurant L'Arpège (Alain Passard).

Oenology

Low yield of 25 hl/ha. Fermentation in vats. Aged in barrels as a wine with about thirty grams of residual sugar. Argelette is the name of the small schistous stones found in this terroir. Biodynamic cultivation.
