Birth
The story of Colette Demay begins in Paris
I was seated on a café terrace with a dear friend, relishing the enchantment of May—arguably the loveliest month in Paris. Later, at a prestigious wine bar, I ordered a glass of Chardonnay while my friend opted for a delicate Pinot Noir. We admired our wines’ complexities, discussing their nuances and richness, when the waiter arrived with a few amuse-bouches. Though not unpleasant, these bites fell flat, overwhelming the wine rather than enhancing it. My disappointment was palpable, and I knew it wouldn’t be the last.
At that moment, I realized just how often the bold, intricate flavors of wine are dulled by uninspired pairings.

The Revelation
And chocolate will reinterpret the art of the aperitif…
A few days later, as I browsed through a chocolate shop, a revelation both simple and profound struck me: could chocolate—crafted with precision and thoughtfully paired—not only complement, but actually elevate the apéritif experience instead of diminishing it?

The Quest
Months of sourcing began
I journeyed through the storied vineyards of Burgundy, the chestnut groves of Provence, and the hazelnut orchards of Piedmont. Every step was a quest to uncover the finest ingredients, gain insight into each terroir, and refine recipes worthy of the wines they would accompany.
