Tasting Notes

  • See: Golden, rich hay colour, not completely transparent in opacity with gentle bubbles 
  • Smell: Ripe pears, and pear juice  and mild notes of honey
  • Taste: Semi-sweet to the mouth with a tangy finish and creamy bubbles; it has good acidity to balance the sweet elements

Notes from the producers

Our Poiré cider is an artisanal product made from pears grown in a unique terroir located near forests. This proximity to the forests gives the pears a characteristic acidity that is softened by the sweetness of the silty-clayey plain.

We use 12 varieties of pears, mainly plant de blanc, vinot, antricotin and belle-verge, mainly from century-old pear trees. These specific pear varieties are carefully selected for their taste, texture and sugar content to guarantee a superior quality perry cider.

The production of our perry is completely environmentally friendly. It is an authentic, tasty and balanced cider, ideal to accompany your favorite dishes or simply to relax with friends.

Personal Notes on Poire by Sassy

Sassy is an incredibly easy to drink, fun, uncomplicated French pear cider, perfect for a casual night out. With such a low alcohol ABV, you don’t need to worry about feeling bad if you have more than one or are enjoying a drink without food. It’s also a perfect choice for those looking for a gentle entry into the pear cider and perry world. As an added bonus, the low level of sugar and calorific content makes this pear cider an almost guilt free treat.
