Le Père Jules - Poire de Normandie Pear Cider (750 mL)

Le Pere Jules' Poire is a fan-favorite sparkling Perry from the Pays d'Auge area in Normandy, France. Normandy and the surrounding area is home to some of the oldest perry pear orchards in the world. Many of the giant pear trees in this area are 100s of years old, and the resulting perry is a truly world class treat to get your hands on.

Le Père Jules Poire is made with a blend of French Perry Pear varieties, primarily Poire Verte de Manerbe, Poire de Blanc, and Poire de Grise. The pears are grown on the family's estate orchard in Normandy, France. The average tree age on their farm based orchard is 75-100 years. The pears grow on clay-limestone hillsides and sandy/silt soil valleys (French cider makers love to talk about their soil!). The pears are harvested in late October and left in a cool, dry room to mature for approximately 2 weeks prior to pressing. Natural/spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel tanks at very cool temperatures for more than two months (low and slow!). Two rackings are done during fermentation - one in the middle of fermentation, and a second one towards the end of primary fermentation. The perry is then bottled still and each bottle is laid down in Le Père Jules cellar for several weeks where a secondary fermentation in the bottle results in a lively sparkle.

Tasting Notes: A zesty sparkling perry with fresh pear taste and floral notes. Incredible freshness and a clean pear taste with hints of pear drop and candied lemon. Semi-dry with medium-plus to high acidity and medium tannins. Boldly sparkling with aromatics of pear, leather, and honeysuckle.

Grab a couple bottles of Le Pere Jules Poire and pair it with a bottle of their beloved Cidre de Normandie or Le Pere Jules Pommeau de Normandie.

About Le Pere Jules: The story begins in 1919 with Jules Desfrièches – who had already earned the nickname of “Père” Jules or “Father” Jules – with a love for his region and its apples, decided to turn his passion into his trade. I 1923, Jules distilled Calvados for the first time. In 1949 his son, Léon Desfrièches, joined the family business. On his arrival, he created the brand “Le Père Jules,” in honor of his father. Thierry Desfrièches, the grandson of “Père”Jules joined his father in the business in 1976. Finally, Guillaume Desfrièches, Thierry’s son, joined the family business after he finished his studies in oenology in 2002 to become the fourth generation in the affair.

If you're looking for a full case of this or any other cider, please e-mail us and we'll setup a special order for you. We can usually get more of any cider we feature in our shop, and offer a discount on full-case special orders. Most bottled ciders come in 12-bottle cases, and canned ciders come in 24-can cases. Some rare or limited ciders may not be eligible for a case order discount, but we can still get you a full case.

We ship cider in boxes that safely hold 4-bottles, 6-bottles, or 12-bottles. Order in one of those quantities (or multiples of those quantities) to maximize your shipping value. For example, if you order 2-3 ciders, there will be room left in the box and it won't meaningfully change the shipping costs to fill the box.

We do have 1-bottle boxes, but in most all instances it will cost the same to ship you a full 4-bottle box.

Shipping to a business address will usually save you a few bucks!

Shipping cost estimates:

Pacific Northwest/West Coast: Shipping anywhere in the Pacific Northwest or West Coast is relatively inexpensive. Almost all box sizes cost $16-21 to ship. Same is true for most destinations in the Mountain Time Zone.
Central Standard Time Zone / Midwest: A 4-bottle or 6-bottle box will usually cost $18-24 to ship. A 12-bottle box will usually cost $22-30 to ship. Variance depends on weight and how far from a FedEx/UPS shipping center your delivery address is.
East Coast: A 4-bottle or 6-bottle box will usually cost $20-25 to ship. A 12-bottle box will usually cost $25-35 to ship. Variance depends on weight and how far from a FedEx/UPS shipping center your delivery address is.

Important Shipping Information:

We are able to ship cider to most, but not all, states.
Legally, someone 21+ must be present at the time of delivery to sign for the cider. We cannot ship to PO Boxes or AFO/FPO addresses.
Shipping prices vary by weight and destination. How far you are from Seattle (where we ship from), and remote vs. central your shipping destination is, and how heavy your box is will make shipping vary.
The bigger the box, the less you pay in shipping on a per-bottle basis. We ship in 1, 4, 6, and 12 bottle boxes - order in those quantities for the best shipping value. The size of the box matters as much as the weight, so don't leave empty slots in your bottle box! Shipping 1-2 bottles will cost the same as shipping 4-6 bottles in most cases. Shipping a 12-bottle box is usually only $3-5 more than shipping a 4-6 bottle box.
Re-delivery and returns are the responsibility of the customer.
We don't recommend shipping during periods of extreme weather. If your area has weather of concern, please contact us and we can hold your order.

We can usually accommodate rush requests for delivery or pickup. Please e-mail us at cider@pressthenpress.com or call/text us at (206)395-4008.
