In Pommard, justly
famous for its wines, there is a different type of stop for the gourmet
traveler. Right in the center of town, Michel and Beatrice Dessolins own
and operate a boutique chocolate store.
Behind a glass wall, you can watch all the chocolates being handmade: ganaches, pralines, or tablettes, as well as ice creams, pâte de fruits, and macarons. Visitors come for chocolate simple and complicated, ordinary and extraordinary.
With a little advance planning and a few euros, Michel and Beatrice will prepare a chocolate grand crus tasting for guests: little squares of cocoa from Venezuela, Madagascar, Ghana, Brazil, the Dominican Republic, or Peru.

You will also find the
grappe des grand crus de Pommard, little chocolate balls filled with pan d’épices, cassis, pêche de vigne, pistachio, truffle,
strawberry, or apricot.
Situated above an old
wine cellar, the mix of terroir and
chocolate is hard not to love.
