Comptoir de Mathilde Christmas Dark Chocolate Tablette

Tasting Notes of the Curator

Elegant and deeply aromatic, this dark chocolate bar is a study in balance and finesse. The cocoa profile is rich yet smooth, with initial notes of roasted cacao and coffee bean giving way to hints of red fruit and a subtle trace of vanilla. Its texture is firm and snappable, melting into a velvety mouthfeel that lingers with a bittersweet finish. Each bite evokes the cozy sophistication of a Parisian winter evening: the glow of lights, the scent of chocolate, and a gentle reminder of childlike wonder. Refined yet comforting, it’s a chocolate made to be both admired and savored.

Pairings and Suggestions

With Coffee: Enjoy with a dark roast espresso or mocha for an elevated pairing.

With Wine: Complements full-bodied reds or dessert wines like Banyuls or ruby Port.

After-Dinner Treat: Perfect alongside nuts, dried figs, or candied orange peels.

Festive Touch: Break into pieces and serve with Christmas desserts or use as a decorative element on a holiday cake. For a simple pleasure, enjoy a square or two by candlelight—the richness of the chocolate unfolds beautifully on its own.
