Pacory Ferme des Grimaux Poire Domfront

*750ml. Pear Cider This more "traditional" pear cider is made with 100% Poire de Blanc, from trees more than 100 years old and with 30 trees on a hectare. These pears are stocked in wooden boxes for 36 hours after falling to mature even further. The un-clarified juice is cooled for several days to develop further aromas. The tanks return to normal temperature and the pear juice ferments using its natural yeasts for 3 months. After several rackings, the poiré is stored upside down in bottles with crown caps, and not disgorged. A beautiful example of single-varietal, traditionally made poiré, 

Pacory’s poiré and cider always come from one single vintage. They make traditional poiré and cider--that is with local, often nearly extinct varieties grown on tall trees, using indigenous yeasts, clarified by racking rather than filtering, and completing a secondary fermentation in bottle without the addition of sugar or gas and without pasteurization. Of course some light sediment may develop that contains polyphenols and spent yeast cells. Not only are they not harmful, their presence is a sign of the poiré’s authenticity.

Their orchards are entirely organic and none of the trees nor their soil has ever seen a chemical treatment. Importer Notes
