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”.

Bottle from the House of Trembling Madness. Clear, rich gold colour with a light fizz. Sweet dessert pears and cream and vanilla here - kind of a pear milkshake feel to it. There's a light dryness and just a hint of funk in the finish. Interesting and very drinkable, just lacks a bit of bite. Pretty impressive for the low ABV though.
