Vieux Calvados Lemorton, Cidre Poiré Domfront

Vieux Calvados Lemorton Cidre Poiré Domfront is a traditional pear cider from Normandy, crafted in the historic Domfront area where pear orchards have long shaped the region’s drinking culture. Made by a producer better known for its artisanal spirits, this pear-based cider stands out for its depth, elegance, and unmistakably regional character.

Tasting Notes
Expect a pale golden to straw-colored cider with a lively, fine mousse. On the nose, it offers fresh orchard fruit, ripe pear, floral notes, and a subtle rustic complexity that speaks to its traditional method of production. On the palate, it is crisp and refreshing, with juicy pear flavor, bright acidity, and a gentle mineral edge that keeps it balanced rather than sweet. The finish is clean and lightly savory, making it an appealing choice for those who enjoy a more characterful, terroir-driven cider. It is best enjoyed young for maximum freshness, though its structure can give it a little extra staying power in bottle.

Production
Produced in Domfront, Normandy, this cidre poiré is rooted in a unique terroir historically suited to pear cultivation, with orchard soils and a cool maritime climate helping preserve freshness and aromatic precision. The pears are typically harvested at optimal ripeness, then pressed and fermented in a traditional style that emphasizes purity of fruit and regional expression.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, around 6–8°C, to highlight its freshness and delicate bubbles. It pairs beautifully with Normandy cheeses, roast poultry, charcuterie, salads, and seafood, and it also works well with fruit-based desserts or simply as an aperitif. Decanting is not necessary.
