6 PRALINES THAT PAIR PERFECTLY WITH A GLASS OF WINE
Our Maîtres Chocolatiers created six new pralines that offer a perfectly balanced mix of taste, texture and cocoa intensity. The use of noble and pure ingredients like Earl Grey tea, saffron, cardamom and acacia honey make these pralines the perfect companion to certain types of wine. Because both the pralines and wines have a complex taste profile with multiple layers, they complement each other harmoniously and bring out each other’s nuanced flavours.
Wine, like chocolate, is the product of true craftmanship, and a wonderful companion to pralines, each one designed to be savoured with a specific type of wine.
To ensure the best possible flavour combinations for this collection, our Maîtres Chocolatiers teamed up with the Belgian Gault&Millau wine experts and sommelier Sepideh Sedaghatnia. The result of this exciting collaboration of expertise are six new pralines that pair perfectly with a glass of wine. Three of the pralines make the perfect companion to red wines, and three of the pralines are best savoured with white wines. In the tasting guide we have included several wine tips from our experts for every praline so as to create the best possible match. The Wine Pairing Collection is the perfect gift for both chocolate lovers and the wine connoisseurs alike.
