About
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”.

Interestingly less sweet than the session’s one. Still great, especially for a non alcoholic drink.

Bouteille 33cl au Duck & Waffle, London à tout de même 8£ la petite bouteille.
Couleur dorée, qcq fines bulles arrivent à la surface mais retombent aussi vite.
Arôme est plaisant avec une belle mise en avant des pommes - ici, aromatique fruité avec une petite pointe boisée et un léger fleuri.
Palais est frais, bien fruité sur l'apport des pommes avce une fine acidité et un fini sec marqué. Belle effervescence qui vient titiller le palais avec en rertait une fine douceur.

Bottle. Slightly unclear golden body under a fading, foamy white head. Strong aroma, ripe apples, wood, slightly funky with a hint of caramel. Taste is sweet, ripe apple, funky notes, mild wood and hint of caramel. Balanced body with long lasting aftertaste. Quite straight forward, but still some complexity to be found. Tasty.
