Easter, a time of celebration and rejoicing, is often synonymous with sweet delights and festivities. As we welcome spring, it's time to plan taste experiences that will delight the senses and awaken the taste buds.
Among the classic pairings worth exploring, champagne and chocolate stand out for their delicate, exquisite marriage.
That's why, in this article, we present our selection of cuvées to pair with chocolate!
Suggested Pairings

This smooth, round Champagne is the perfect balance to the melt-in-the-mouth texture and intense cocoa flavour of this confection. All in all, a unique gourmet pleasure for Easter!
The Grande Tradition x Rochers with milk chocolate and toasted almonds

The deliciousness of this cuvée is perfectly complemented by Milk Chocolate and Toasted Almond Rochers. Crunchy, tasty bites with an elegant, fruity Champagne: a real marriage of flavours.
Blending Rosé x Chocolate-covered strawberries
The romantic combination of our rosé blending Champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries offers an explosion of fruity, tangy flavours, evoking refreshing summer notes. As soon as it hits the palate, our cuvée is carried by sweet aromas of fresh, crunchy red berries. The fresh, fruity flavours of this Champagne Rosé go perfectly with the delicacy of this dessert.
Vintage 2009 x Isigny Chocolate Caramels
This exceptional Champagne offers bewitching complexity on the palate. Mature fruit aromas mingle with notes of freshly baked brioche: what better way to pair it than with Caramels d'Isigny with chocolate, a Made in France confectionery. This traditional sweetness, in harmony with our 2009 vintage, is sure to delight gourmets.
The Ratafia x Dark chocolate orangettes
Our Ratafia is a harmonious blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grape musts and Champagne brandy. This sweet, amber-coloured liqueur is a concentrate of fruit and caramel aromas. Its subtle aromas are a perfect match for dark chocolate orangettes, which combine bitterness and sweetness. The result: a tenfold pleasure.
TASTING ADVICE
When enjoying your champagne and chocolates, take time to appreciate every bite and sip. Start by smelling the delicate aromas of the champagne, then take a small bite of chocolate and let it melt slowly on your tongue. Observe how the flavors blend and harmonize, creating a symphony of gustatory pleasures.
