Maison Sassy Cider

At CiderSub we feature two ciders from one brand each month. November's box was about showcasing bottles/cans that had stand-out artwork and Maison Sassy fit the bill perfectly.

The most important thing to point out is that this cider is made and bottled in France! We primarily showcase UK Cider but enjoy having a guest appearance from overseas every now and then.

Firstly, we think it's a fabulous name for a cider brand, we thought maybe they just chose something fun and bold, turns out its due to where it's from; Château de Sassy, Normandy, France. The family behind this brand have been making cider since 1852, so it has to be good right? Yes! Their cider is 100% natural and they are all about showcasing the real taste of apple cider, it does not contain any additives and is gluten free and vegan. Not to mention everything is locally sourced. This brand simply want to celebrate cider, showcase quality and put Normandy on the map for craft cider. They also want to change perceptions and get people to consider this drink as the perfect aperitif, wine alternative or cocktail ingredient. With their low calorie and low alcohol ciders be sure to visit their website to get your own cider cocktail recipes - not something you see everyday!
