The perfect combination of chocolate and gin
Nicolas Cloiseau, chef of La Maison du Chocolat, and Citadelle, a French gin brand, combine their know-how and create an unusual creation: a bar of chocolate with an intense taste of gin according to an unprecedented process.


The secret of Alchemie Gin
After pouring his hot chocolate into a whisky cask and taking an interest in the principle of absorption of taste inscribed in wood, Nicolas Cloiseau takes a new approach for the second edition of his Alchimie series. Its Alchimie Gin Chocolate Bar captures the aromatic essence of the 19 botanicals* that brew gin before distillation, offering a chocolate with an intense taste of gin but without alcohol**.
Here no barrel, no absorption, no refining, but the reuse of «botanicals» that open a new field of exploration in chocolate. Delivered fresh, reduced to a paste and incorporated directly into the chocolate coating, Nicolas Cloiseau had the intuition of something new to recreate the aromatic profile of this spirit.
At Citadelle, our chef has discovered this aromatic treasure with 100% natural ingredients. Committed to tradition, creativity and respect for good products, the Citadelle Gin knows, more than anyone, to open its doors to new ideas. Together they are creating a new way of capturing the character of each berry, spice and citrus fruit and marking the chocolate with a good taste of gin.
