Mead is one of the oldest drinks in the world, a true elixir that has come down through the ages. Today, a new star is shining among meads: Impertinent. At 6% vol., this sparkling mead stands out for its natural secondary fermentation in the bottle and its dry, refreshing taste. Made by hand by a renowned beekeeper, it brings tradition and innovation together.
A craftsman dedicated to excellence
Behind Impertinent is a passionate beekeeper who has devoted his life to producing quality meads. With recognised expertise, he has combined his knowledge of beekeeping with sophisticated fermentation techniques to create a unique product. Already known for his other meads, he wanted to push the boundaries of creativity with this sparkling mead.
Impertinent also stands out for the philosophy behind it: the craftsman uses high-quality local honeys from Occitania, with respect for the environment and for the bees.
Natural bottle fermentation
One of Impertinent's most remarkable features is its natural sparkle. Unlike meads to which gas is added, Impertinent undergoes a carefully controlled second fermentation directly in the bottle. This craft method creates fine, persistent bubbles.
It also allows the mead to keep all the richness of its aromas while developing complexity on the palate. Floral and fruity nuances unfold, with a lively freshness that makes this drink particularly thirst-quenching.
A dry, balanced taste
With its dry profile, Impertinent will appeal to those looking for a refreshing alternative to alcoholic drinks that are often too sweet. Its finesse and natural sparkle make it an ideal companion for many occasions: drinks with friends, a gourmet meal or a celebration.
Its aromas
Its aromas reveal themselves sip after sip, in a subtle balance between sweetness and acidity: notes of wildflowers, ripe fruit and a light touch of spice, all with great lightness.
A responsible, sustainable product
Choosing Impertinent also means choosing an environmentally friendly product. The beekeeper who makes it takes care to keep his practices sustainable, to look after the health of his bees and to preserve biodiversity. By buying this mead, you support responsible consumption that values local producers.
A creation that took time
First imagined by our beekeeper before the Covid crisis, Impertinent took a great deal of perseverance to bring to life. It is the result of craft know-how, a passion for beekeeping and a deep respect for nature.
