If you would like to try something a bit different this week you should really give Poire Granit from Eric Bordelet a go. This delicious concoction made from pears (let me finish) is more comparable to a light sparkling wine. Think Moscato d’Asti. The fruit comes from ancient, biodynamically farmed orchards in Southern Normandy and is fermented to a bright, spicy sweetness. This perry is incredibly complex with hints of cinnamon and a velvety mousse. At only 4%, it is a delicious aperitif or wonderfully refreshing on its own.
I wrote to my MP recently.
“Why did you do that, Chris”
“Call it my sense of duty. Let me put you in the picture.”
You really should have been there………………
There are tastings and then there are tastings and last month we served up the most phenomenal Italian Masterclass in the company of Michael Palij, Master of Wine, who steered us through some of his most recent discoveries (notably a Sardinian quartet which provided all the evidence you need of the revolution taking place in the island’s vineyards and cellars).
