Something different - a pear cider from Normandy produced from pear trees estimated to be about 300 years old. Poire Granit had 25 to 50 grams of sugar per litre yet it doesn’t taste particularly sweet. The nose and palate are nothing more complex than pear juice with a slight effervescent bubble. Very refreshing and only 6% ABV. I bought 2 other Cuvées from Eric Bordelet - one had zero ABV. Had a 2nd bottle 21 weeks later on 3rd January 2023 with consistent notes. Refreshing, tasty and uncomplicated.

Hands down best pear cider out there. Works so well as a desert pairing. Poured at Le Cinq

I think this is now my favorite cider ever. So f-Ing good. Every time I drink this, it seems to be better than the last. Maybe this is my Pliny the elder of cider!
