Mauve · The Marshmallow

Mauve is our only praline-free recipe. At its heart, an airy bourbon-vanilla marshmallow. Around it, the grand cru dark chocolate coating, as everywhere else. A house that masters hazelnut must also know how to do its opposite.

Aromatic profile: a fresh, clean dark-cocoa attack, an airy marshmallow with infused bourbon vanilla mid-palate, and a finish of melted sugar, a floral note and a very gentle milky persistence.

Recommended pairings: rosé champagne, Coteaux du Layon or Bonnezeaux, Tokaji Aszú 3 puttonyos, Moscato d'Asti, green or yellow Chartreuse, aged agricole rum, VSOP cognac, Saint-Germain elderflower liqueur. Best enjoyed at teatime, brunch, or as an aside.

Allergens: tree nuts (hazelnut), milk; may contain traces of other tree nuts.

Packaging: box of 10 pieces. Mauve runs against the rest of the collection: no praline, no hazelnut at its core — just an airy marshmallow set in a grand cru coating, to enjoy slowly. A signature recipe by Colette Demay.
