750 mL bottle of Domaine J. Cecillon Sevignac Poiré Belenos 2018 -

Johanna Cecillon's Poire Belenos is a dry French Perry from the Brittany region in France. This perry has a complex nose of pear and citrus aromas. On the palate, it's dry with a touch of iodine, slight salinity and a lemony finish. Light oxidative golden color, and the bubbles are fine. Beautiful minerality, very refreshing.

The terroir in this region is rich with deep loamy soil. The large pear trees on the estate were planted fairly spaced out, every 7 meters on a meadow. The pear trees are sheltered from the wind with grassy strips, which encourages diversity. The fruit is harvested by hand in September and stored in wooden crates under cover to allow better ripeness. The work in the cellar is carried out delicately so as not to upset the perry. Fermentation is naturally started with indigenous yeast, and is managed in vats as single varietals, later blended after fermentation. The perry is bottled at the end of April, without the addition of sulfur, non-carbonated and unpasteurized. A second fermentation then takes place in the bottles for a natural sparkle. The bottles are stored for 24 months and then disgorged on the fly.

Food Pairings – Ideal as an aperitif or to accompany oysters, shellfish, artichoke tartare, celery gratin, blue cheese, dark chocolate, etc.

Price

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.
