Eric Bordelet - Perlant - Non-Alcoholic Pear Juice 2025
The estate of Éric Bordelet, located in southern Normandy on the schist and granite soils of the Armorican Massif, is today a world reference in the production of gastronomic ciders and perries. A former top-level sommelier, he has been able to transpose the demands of wine to the world of fruit, enhancing an exceptional heritage of orchards composed of multi-centennial trees.
The Perlant cuvée, a non-alcoholic Pear Juice 2025, fits into this approach, offering a pure and accessible reading of the terroir through a product without alcoholic fermentation. The pears used come from old varieties, grown biodynamically, whose deep roots capture all the mineral complexity of the soils. This juice thus stands out for its rare authenticity, faithful to the identity of the estate and the nobility of the fruit.
The production aims to preserve the aromatic integrity of the pear, without alcoholic transformation, in order to keep all its freshness and natural indulgence. The nose expresses itself precisely on fresh pear, accompanied by delicate floral notes and a slight mineral touch. On the palate, the attack is lively and thirst-quenching, carried by a fine bubble that recalls the elegance of a sparkling wine. The texture is silky, balanced by a natural acidity that structures the whole without heaviness. The expression of the fruit remains clear, crunchy, and luminous, with great purity. The finish, fresh and crystalline, prolongs this sensation of finesse and naturalness.
Served well chilled, between 6 and 8°C, it constitutes a refined alternative to alcoholic beverages, ideal for aperitifs or convivial moments. It pairs perfectly with fresh cheeses, light desserts, or delicate seafood dishes. Its finesse and precision also make it a relevant choice for modern and gastronomic pairings, where the freshness of the fruit plays a central role. The Perlant 2025 thus establishes itself as an elegant and demanding non-alcoholic cuvée, conceived with the same rigor as a great perry. It perfectly embodies the estate's ability to sublimate the fruit in all its purity.
