Born and raised in the Savoie, Jean-Yves Péron studied winemaking in Bordeaux in the late 90’s. In 2004 he returned to the Savoie and began making his own wine in the village of Chevaline on schist-covered sloping vineyards
Description
Domaine Jean-Yves Peron Poire de la Combe d’Ire NV
Poiré de la Combe d'Ire is a sparkling cuvée from Jean-Yves Péron made from pears. Organic, biodynamic and natural, this perry is the winemaker's only grape-free cuvée.
A dozen varieties of old pears, growing in the Savoyard orchards, are the basis of this perry from Combe d'Ire, a clay-limestone area classified as a biological reserve and protected area near Chevaline.
Completely dry (zero dosage), beautiful golden color with a lovely fine note of sweetness in the background, coexisting with a symphony of bitterness, fruitiness and salinity. A great richness of taste, the pear sublimated in a sparkling beverage. Intensely fresh finish. This aged perry is at its best after five years of aging.
The pears are grated then pressed. The perry is aged for three years in 350-litre barrels.

Founded in 2019, we were bored with the typical Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Amarone & Moscato offerings at most bars & restaurants, and were inspired to dive deeper into the wine world!
