Tasting

Take a break in our shop, we will be pleased to offer you a tasting of some chocolates. This is the best way to discover them, and to share with you our passion for local specialties!

This free tasting will be spontaneously proposed and does not require an any appointment.

For groups of more than 8 people, we also offer workshops “Awaken your senses”, lasting about 45 minutes, with a small playful quizz about chocolate, and a blind tasting of all our specialties.

These workshops require a reservation by email. Price: 5€ per person.

Our shop is located in the heart of the Bordeaux Medoc vineyard, in the famous village of Margaux.

Two of our specialties, Sarments du Médoc and Guinettes, are listed in the Inventory of Gastronomic Heritage of New Aquitaine.

Looking forward to welcome you!

La Guinette

“La Guinette”, also known as “La Griotte”, is an iconic chocolate specialty from southwestern France.

It is a cherry with liquor (Armagnac or Kirsch according to the recipes) first covered with a sweet sugar fondant, and then coated with dark chocolate. After a few days of patience, the magic happens… The sugar fondant and Armagnac mingle, creating the delicious liquid heart in which the cherry is enclosed.

During the tasting, three flavors and textures intertwine: the crunch of dark chocolate, the intensity of a selected liquor, and the tender flesh of Morello cherry.

We offer two recipes: the Guinette Armagnac, intense and very aromatic, and the Griotte Kirsch, more sweet and fruity. Thus, every amateur of liqueur chocolate should find happiness!

We have been refining our recipes for more than 50 years, making this specialty our oldest know-how.

Sarments du Médoc

Sarments du Médoc are fine and wavy chocolate twigs, with sweet and fruity flavors.

Did you know? In 1981, a chocolate machine gives accidentally birth to an irregular chocolate stick, evoking the shape of vine shoots… Thanks to the team’s know-how and ingenuity, this manufacturing incident quickly transformed into a minor miracle, naturally called “Sarments du Médoc”!

Treat yourself to a gourmet break…

The Sarments du Médoc perfectly pair with a glass of wine. We particularly recommend the subtle combination of a red wine and our raspberry dark chocolate, or a dry white wine and our dark chocolate with orange. Let yourself be surprised!

The Sarments du Médoc also lend themselves to more gourmet moments like the coffee break or tea, or the snack. To taste alone or to share, they sure will be a hit with kids and grown-ups alike!
