Le 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 heirloom pear varieties, grown in Savoyard orchards, form the basis of this perry from Combe d’Ire, a clay-limestone area classified as a biological reserve and protected area near Chevaline. The pears are grated and then pressed. The perry is aged for three years in 350-liter barrels.

Completely dry (zero dosage), it has a beautiful golden color with a delicate sweetness in the background, coexisting with a symphony of bitterness, fruitiness, and salinity. A rich flavor, the pear sublimated in a sparkling drink. An intensely fresh finish. This aged perry is at its peak after five years of aging.
