Bubbles & Almond Kisses Bundle

Tasting notes of the Curator

Maison Bremond Traditional Calissons are a Provençal confection with centuries of heritage behind them. Made from finely ground almonds blended with candied melon and delicate citrus peel, they offer a soft, smooth texture that gently yields with each bite. The almond base is rich yet refined, delivering natural sweetness without heaviness. Subtle notes of orange blossom and sun-ripened fruit emerge through the candied components, while the thin layer of royal icing adds a clean, delicate finish. Each piece feels precise and balanced — sweet, fragrant, and unmistakably French.

Champagne Edouard Duval Brut d’Eulalie introduces brightness and lift. As a Brut Champagne, it is dry and structured, with lively acidity and fine, persistent bubbles. Notes of crisp apple, citrus zest, and subtle brioche create complexity without overshadowing the palate. The mousse refreshes and cleanses between bites, preventing the sweetness of the calissons from lingering too heavily. Instead, it creates a gentle rhythm: almond warmth, candied fruit brightness, sparkling clarity. Together, they form a pairing that feels romantic but composed — indulgent, yet never excessive.

A Sweet Tradition of Celebration

Calissons are said to have been created for a royal wedding in Provence, where their delicate sweetness symbolized affection and joy. Over time, they became a confection reserved for celebrations — small, refined, and meant to be shared.

Champagne has long been the language of milestones and declarations. Its pop signals intention; its sparkle carries emotion.

In this pairing, sweetness meets effervescence. Almond meets apple and citrus. Provence meets Champagne. It is not grand or theatrical — it is intimate. A gift that says, quietly and beautifully, “I chose this for us.”
