Birth

It all began one spring afternoon in Paris…

I was seated at a café terrace with a dear friend, savoring the charm of May, arguably the most beautiful month in Paris. At a prestigious wine bar, I ordered a glass of Chardonnay, while my friend chose a delicate Pinot Noir. We marveled at the complexity of our wines, discussing their nuances and richness, when the waiter brought over some amuse-bouches. They were not unpleasant, but they fell short overpowering the wine instead of complementing it.

The Revelation

It wasn’t the first time
I had felt this…

disappointment and it certainly wouldn’t be the last. I realized, in that moment, how often the bold, intricate flavors of wine were dulled by uninspired pairings.

A few days later, as I browsed through a chocolate shop, it struck me a revelation as simple as it was profound. Could chocolate, crafted with precision and paired with care, elevate the apéritif experience rather than diminish it

The Quest

Months
of sourcing began

I traveled to the storied vineyards of Burgundy, the chestnut groves of Provence, and the hazelnut orchards of Piedmont.
Each step was a journey to uncover the finest ingredients, to understand terroirs, and to refine recipes worthy of the wines they would accompany.
