Maison SASSY Rosé (75cl) 2020

We’re sorry, but this cider cannot be shipped to NY at this time. Hopefully soon!

Walk into any bistro in Normandy, on France’s northern coast, and you’ll find a carafe on every table. But it’ll be filled with cider (or cidre, as the French say), not wine. Why? This far north, it’s too chilly to grow grapes, but apples thrive. No wonder Normandy has been home to the world’s finest ciders for centuries.

Cider runs in the blood of Xavier d’Audiffret Pasquier’s family. They’ve been crafting it at Château de Sassy since 1852. But Xavier and his business partner, Pierre-Emmanuel Racine-Jourden, are taking quality to new heights, while introducing sustainable farming and stylish new bottles.

Another innovation? Xavier and Pierre know how much people love rosé wine these days, so they set out to create the ultimate rosé cider. SASSY Rosé is vegan and all-natural—made with 100% apple juice from a top-secret blend of 18 different local varieties. Even better, it won Best Rosé Cider in the World at the Bartenders’ Brand Awards 2020.

And you’ll be among the first in the U.S. to taste it. Although bursting with vibrant, red-fruit flavor, it still has plenty of zip and zing. And thanks to its modest alcohol level (3% ABV) and low calorie count (only 70 per serving!), it’s ready to be poured generously with brunch or alongside dinner. Your food-pairing options are wide open. We recommend you serve this cider chilled, as you would a rosé wine.

This is the first rosé cider we’ve ever offered, and we can’t wait for you to try it. Limited cases—hurry to claim yours.
