Description
Friends for more than 20 years, Pierre-Emmanuel and Xavier grew up together in Normandy. They had the ambition to modernize the first alcoholic beverage consumed by any young self-respected Normand : the cidre.

Determined by the desire to create a quality, hand-crafted, French product and by the aspiration to come back to the source / back to basics, they aimed at increasing the value of a decisively modern product, forgotten despite its numerous energetic and gustatory qualities.

(“Gluten-free, 100 % natural, the least calorific alcoholic drink”- it has less than 50 calories for a glass of 15cl).
Helped by a cellar master with a well-known expertise, Pierre-emmanuel and Xavier have been developing their project for more than one year. Their work resulted in the launch of Sassy, the first contemporary cider brand “Made in Normandy”.

330mL bottle, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out crisp dry apples, with a touch of apple skin and core. Flavour is much sweeter, with medium sweet apple skins upfront, which then transition to a bit of a farmhouse character and a bone dry, lightly crisp finish. Very nicely constructed.

330mL bottle, pours a clear pale blonde with a tiny white head. Aroma brings out bees wax and honey, with light pears. Flavour is along the same lines, with medium sweet pears, bees wax and crisp, medium sweet pears. For a 2.5% perry, this has a lot of dynamics. Very nice.
