About this tour
L'Audacieuse pairs three bold dark chocolates against three structured wines to expose how tannins and bitterness work together. Set in France, this guided hour explores the aromatic layers each wine and chocolate combination unlocks—cocoa, coffee and dark fruit notes playing against one another. You'll taste how intensity and matter balance flavour, moving beyond standard pairings into something deliberately assertive and unexpectedly complex.
Highlights
- Three dark chocolates with distinct, pronounced flavour profiles
- Three carefully chosen wines matched for structural harmony
- Guided tasting focuses on tannins and bitterness interplay
- Learn how cocoa, coffee and fruit notes respond to wine
- Small-format glasses allow proper sensory focus
What to expect
You'll work through three rounds, each pairing a dark chocolate against a wine. The guide walks you through how each sip and bite shifts the other's character—the chocolate's intensity either softening or sharpening the wine's edge, the wine's tannins cutting through cocoa richness. This isn't about sweetness or prettiness; it's about how opposing flavours create dialogue. Expect to taste things you didn't notice on first bite, and to understand why chocolate and wine aren't automatic partners.
