This brilliant perry from Jean-Yves Péron showcases what happens when you give a dozen heritage pear varieties the time and space they deserve. Sourced from protected Savoyard orchards, the pears are grated and pressed before spending three years ageing in 350L barrels – proper old-school stuff. The result is a bone-dry sparkler with lovely golden colour and bags of character: sweet pear aromatics meet bitter complexity with a mineral backbone that speaks of its terroir. Each sip delivers orchard fruit balanced with a saline finish that keeps you coming back for more – this is perry done right, elevated to something really special.
