Chocolate In A Bottle

Chocolate in a Bottle: French Sparkling Wine with Belgian Chocolate

Chocolate in a Bottle is an original French sparkling wine that brings together the freshness of blanc de blancs and the indulgent flavour of dark Belgian chocolate. Created by Flemish sommelier Tom De Bruyn and crafted in Southern France since 2012, it offers a playful yet polished alternative for those looking beyond traditional sparkling wine.

French Blanc de Blancs with a Chocolate Twist

At the heart of Chocolate in a Bottle is a clear, light-blonde sparkling wine made from blanc de blancs grapes and infused with the essence of dark Belgian chocolate and hazelnut. The result is a lively, gently bubbling wine that delivers an unusual but well-balanced tasting experience.

The first sip brings rich chocolate and subtle hazelnut character to the fore. As the wine opens, its fruit becomes more apparent, with fresh acidity and delicate bubbles creating a bright, refreshing finish. It is not a heavy cream liqueur or a dessert wine; instead, it retains the lift and celebratory feel of sparkling wine while adding a luxurious chocolate-inspired twist.

The Chocolate in a Bottle Range

Chocolate in a Bottle Original is presented in a 750 mL bottle and sits at a lighter 6.5% ABV. It is also vegan friendly and gluten free, making it a versatile option for a wide range of occasions and preferences. A luxury gift-box presentation is also available, making it an eye-catching choice for gifting, festive celebrations and special events.

This is a wine designed to be shared. It is a memorable bottle to take to a dinner party, open at brunch, serve alongside dessert or give to someone who enjoys discovering something unexpected. With its distinctive chocolate-and-hazelnut character, it brings a little theatre to the table without losing the refreshment that makes sparkling wine so enjoyable.

Serving Chocolate in a Bottle

Chocolate in a Bottle is best served well chilled at approximately 3°C. This cooler serving temperature keeps the bubbles fine, the chocolate aromatics balanced and the finish lively.

Its flavour profile makes it an easy companion for salty cheeses, prosciutto, baked ham, croissants, fresh berries and fruit platters. For dessert, it is particularly well suited to tiramisu, Basque cheesecake and subtly sweet pastries, where its cacao notes can complement rather than overwhelm the food. More adventurous pairings can include seafood, with the wine’s acidity and effervescence providing contrast to richer dishes.

A Distinctive Choice for Celebrations and Gifting

Chocolate in a Bottle is made for occasions that call for something different. Its French sparkling-wine base gives it a sense of elegance, while the dark Belgian chocolate influence makes it instantly approachable and conversation-worthy.

Whether enjoyed as an aperitif, poured at a celebration or chosen as a gift, Chocolate in a Bottle offers a fresh take on sparkling wine: lively, lightly indulgent and designed to make any occasion feel a little more special.
