To celebrate our 10th Anniversary, we have lovingly crafted this single cask Calvados, a 2014 vintage that has spent a decade ageing in French oak barrels, imparting colour, structure, and a sophisticated finish.
This exceptional Vintage Calvados is infused with the rich aromas of stewed apples, complemented by smoky undertones and subtle hints of spice, offering a complex and refined experience.
This Calvados is ideal as a digestif, to be enjoyed with a piece of dark chocolate or a cigar.
This Limited Edition 10 Year Calvados is available in 70cl bottles and has 46% vol. alcohol.
The terroir of our 10 Year Calvados
Our 10 Year Calvados is a testament to our dedication to tradition and quality. The production of this quality spirit is carried out using traditional methods of pressing and fermentation.
Our 10 Year Calvados is a traditional product. More than 30 varieties typical of the Normandy bocage are used to make our 10 Year Calvados. The apples are harvested from October to November, then washed and sorted by hand before being pressed. After pressing and alcoholic fermentation, the ciders are distilled in February and March, using a column copper still. This method preserves the cider's fresh, clean fruit flavours. Our copper still operates continuously, distilling 10,000 litres of cider daily, ensuring a consistent taste profile.
The production of our Calvados XO is entirely environmentally friendly.
Our recipes, patiently developed and closely guarded, is inspired by the cider served at Château de Sassy.
In collaboration with our cellar master, we have reworked these recipes to sublimate each flavour and offer a unique experience.
We aim for excellence, ensuring that each cider meets the demands of the finest palates, while remaining true to the Sassy family heritage.
At Maison Sassy, our commitment to nature is at the heart of every stage of production.
Our products come from sustainable agriculture, where respect for the Normandy terroir is a priority. We select our apples and pears from sustainably managed orchards, without the excessive use of pesticides, in order to preserve local biodiversity.
We are committed to donating 1% of our turnover to environmental organisations that work to protect our ecosystem.
By choosing SASSY, you are not only supporting a brand that values craftsmanship and quality, but also a company that places environmental preservation at the heart of its concerns. Each bottle contributes to funding initiatives aimed at restoring ecosystems, fighting climate change, and protecting biodiversity.
