Chocolatier Jacques Torres and Champagne Taittinger Make a Valentine’s Day Love Connection

What tempting treat to get for your sweet this Valentine’s Day? Chocolatier and former critically acclaimed Le Cirque 2000 pastry chef, Jacques Torres has created the perfect recipe for love by teaming with Champagne Taittinger to create a tantalizing feast for the senses, the Taittinger Champagne Kiss chocolate bonbon—a perfect marriage of rich dark chocolate, fresh cream and Taittinger’s Brut Prestige Rosé cuvee.

“The union of champagne and chocolate is a harmonious one” says Torres. “The wine’s youthful balance and body with its subtle flavors of fresh fruit is an ideal match for the bold, earthy flavor of cocoa beans.” And now that dark chocolate is known for its heart-healthy antioxidants, this is one indulgence chocolate lovers won’t regret. Each square bonbon is stamped with the whimsical “lady in a glass” logo of the legendary champagne house.

Torres uses only fresh, natural ingredients and all chocolates are made without preservatives. The Taittinger Champagne Kiss is available at the Jacques Torres Chocolate Haven at 350 Hudson Street in Manhattan, Jacques Torres Chocolate at 66 Water Street in Brooklyn and on line at www.mrchocolate.com.

This marks the second time Torres has joined forces with Champagne Taittinger on an edible masterpiece. The “Taittinger Truffle” featuring Brut La Francaise debuted in 2001 and quickly became a best seller.
