The limestone soils of Verzy impart mineral character that elevates pear beyond simple fruit expression, creating something closer to white wine in its sophistication. The 2022 vintage fermented to dryness, emphasizing acidity, mineral complexity, and the interplay between fruit and terroir expression. This is perry for those seeking adventure in cider categories—not sweet, not simple, but genuinely food-pairing-focused and thought-provoking. Serve chilled as an aperitif, alongside gentle fish dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polaner [POL]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45064043561017,"sku":"NYC-4-POL-`FCV103`-101725-33","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Cidrerie-de-Verzy-Poire-Sec-2022-Cider-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1773541396"},{"product_id":"cidrerie-de-verzy-poire-sec-2021-1-5l","title":"Cidrerie de Verzy, Cidre Sec, 2021 (1.5L)","description":"Five of Champagne's most serious young grower-producers got together in 2020 to make cider — and they make it the way they make Champagne. Flavien Nowack, Adrien Renoir, Bertrand Lapie, Antoine Bouvet and Quentin Paillard press organic and biodynamic apples in a traditional basket press, ferment in neutral oak for up to a year in an old Verzy cellar where Renoir's grandparents once made wine, and then trigger the bubbles in bottle with fresh juice instead of cane sugar — the same trick Pascal Agrapart uses for his Experience cuvée. It then sits on its lees a minimum of twelve months. The fruit comes from trees between 30 and 250 years old: before the First World War, orchards were a normal part of mixed farming here, until grapes turned out to pay better. This is a magnum of the dry apple bottling, and it drinks with the seriousness of the day job.","brand":"Polaner [POL]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46481679089721,"sku":"NYC-W-POL-`POL`-091026-20","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Cidrerie-de-Verzy-Cidre-Sec-2021-1_5L-Cider-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1789569591"}],"url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/collections\/cidrerie-de-verzy.oembed","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
