Valentine’s Day! We go to Luxembourg’s artisanal chocolatiers, vineyards and bars as the air gets saturated again with love.
1 Bernard-Massard The cuvée Clos des Rochers rosé, which is composed of 100% pinot noir, is a sensuous and pleasurable vintage with an enticing rose-tea hue. It can be enjoyed alone, with canapés before a meal or with a low-sugar dessert. www.bernard-massard.lu
2 Madame Chocolat The bear represents cuteness, and the heel symbolises the elegance one feels while wearing them. The heart pralines contain 40% milk chocolate, sweet caramel, with refreshing and exotic orange and lemon, just as love should be. Ruby chocolate, which is made from naturally-occurring ruby cocoa beans found in Ecuador, Brazil and the Ivory Coast and processed to give the chocolate a distinctive rosy hue, is used for the shoe and one of the bears. www.madamechocolat.lu Words ABIGAIL OKORODUS Photo ROMAIN GAMBA, GUY WOLFF
