Blanc & Blush Bundle

Tasting Notes of the Curator

La Rose Noire’s macarons are crafted with precision, each shell offering that delicate crisp exterior before giving way to a soft, chewy almond interior. The Chocolate is deep and cocoa-forward, rich yet controlled, allowing the ganache to feel smooth rather than heavy. Raspberry introduces vibrant tartness, its bright berry acidity cutting cleanly through the sweetness of the shell. Vanilla is subtle and fragrant, creamy with a gentle floral lift that showcases restraint and balance. Salted Caramel leans into buttery decadence, where a whisper of salt sharpens the sweetness and keeps it elegant. Passion Fruit delivers tropical vibrancy with a lively tang that lingers lightly on the palate. Coffee is aromatic and structured, its roasted profile adding depth without overpowering the almond base.

Pol Roger Pure Extra Brut Champagne is defined by purity. With no added dosage, it presents a taut, mineral-driven structure supported by fine, persistent bubbles. Notes of green apple, citrus peel, and subtle brioche create dimension, while its linear, dry finish refreshes the palate between bites. The Champagne does not compete with the macarons; it refines them, sharpening fruit notes, balancing sweetness, and elevating texture. Together, they form a precise and harmonious pairing.

Pairings and Suggestions

Proper thawing is essential for peak texture.

Keep macarons frozen until ready to serve.

Thaw in refrigeration for 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

Once thawed, allow them to sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes before serving.

Do not refreeze once thawed.

Chill the Champagne to 8–10°C before opening.

For tasting progression:

Begin with Vanilla or Chocolate to appreciate structure.

Move toward Raspberry and Passion Fruit as the Champagne opens.

Finish with Salted Caramel or Coffee for a richer close.

Serve on a porcelain platter with fresh berries or edible flowers for a composed presentation. This pairing works beautifully as a pre-dinner toast or as a refined dessert course.

The Art of Contrast

Macarons and Champagne share a devotion to precision. The macaron, often seen as playful, is in truth a test of technique — humidity, folding, resting, baking. Champagne, particularly Extra Brut, is equally uncompromising. Without added sugar to soften the edges, the wine must stand confidently on its craftsmanship.

Pol Roger is known for its refined house style and long, cool fermentations that preserve freshness and structure. When paired with macarons, the dryness of the Champagne heightens fruit notes, tempers sweetness, and cleanses the palate with intention. It transforms indulgence into balance.

Blanc & Blush is not overly sweet. It is poised. It is deliberate. It is a celebration built on restraint and refinement.

Storage Instructions

Store Champagne horizontally in a cool, dark place away from temperature fluctuations. Chill before serving.
