Eric Bordelet 'Perlant' Pétillant Cider (Alcohol-Free), Normandy, France [330ml]

Eric Bordelet, a former sommelier at some of Paris’s top Michelin-starred restaurants, returned to his family’s orchards in southern Normandy in 1992 with a vision to elevate cider to the level of fine wine. Guided by biodynamic principles and inspired by close friend Didier Dagueneau, Bordelet’s ciders are expressive, terroir-driven, and crafted with the same reverence as grand cru wines. 'Perlant' is his non-alcoholic, gently sparkling cuvée—complex, refreshing, and naturally vibrant.
