Organic, Biodynamic practices. Forget's cidre paysan is taken from a blend of local cider apple varieties drawn from his nearly 200 year-old orchards in Torchamp, Normandy. The more rustic of the bottlings, but still with elegance and finesse. Not the more common, funky brett-driven stuff from the region.
Organic, biodynamic practices. Forget's perry, the English name for wine made from pears, is made from three distinct varieties of Briton locals: Vinot, Pomera, and Plant de Blanc. The wine is dry, floral, and ethereal, with a fine, structured, and persistent mousse. The Vinot and Pomera varieties lend tangy, green fruit notes, while the Plant de Blanc pears add complexity. Completely unfiltered, no added sulfur. This is one of the most accomplished, elegant pear wines made in France right now.
Organic, Biodynamic practices. 'Pear-Shaped' is 50% pears and 50% apples drawn from winemaker and farmer Jerôme Forget's nearly 200 year-old orchards in Torchamp, Normandy. Once pressed, the juice is pumped into steel tanks, where it ferments and rests for around three months. The wine's natural yeasts prompt fermentation; secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle. A minimal amount of SO2 is added depending on the vintage (quantities are always indicated on the label). Three or four months of development follow, then the cider is released. Unfined, unfiltered.
