Top French chef & restauranteur opens luxury chocolate factory
LEADIN:
One of the world's most famous chefs, Alain Ducasse has realised his dream to become the owner of a Willy Wonka style chocolate factory.
The chocolates come in every shape, size and taste, but each one is especially crafted for the cocoa connoisseur.
STORYLINE :
Simplicity is the hallmark of Alain Ducasse's chocolate.
He believes luxury and simplicity go hand in hand.
The chocolates are not fussy, or too ornate, the most important thing about them is their taste.
Behind the small Paris shop window is a showroom, with chocolates made from beans from every cocoa producing country in the world.
They are processed into chocolate here, at Le Chocolat Alain Ducasse, to the demands of Ducasse's palate.
With this showroom and workshops Ducasse has accomplished one of his lifetime goals.
He says: The most important is to realise our dreams one day. That was in my mind and from time to time I realised some of them and chocolate manufacture is one of them.
Here in Paris, Ducasse is name synonymous with taste and elegance.
He owns several restaurants in some of the most fashionable neighbourhoods.
As a young apprentice cook to famous Parisian chefs Michel Guerard and Gaston Lenotre in the 1970s, Ducasse developed his interest and passion for chocolate.
By the time he was discovered by chocolatiers Alain Chapel and Maurice Bernanchon in Lyon, his fascination with the cocoa bean was secured.
Since the opening of his chocolate factory, near Place de Bastille in central Paris in 2013, Ducasse and his team have been exploring different origins and aromas in order to make chocolate bonbons, old fashioned pralines, tablets and ganaches.
But while the chocolates look traditional the flavours in some can be very adventurous.
According to Ducasse some ganaches are combined with herbs like mint, or fruits like raspberry, or passion fruit, preservatives which may mar the taste are left out.
The aim is to achieve a perfect, homogeneous texture which can be naturally preserved.
Ducasse says: Here, we are craftsman. That means that we receive cocoa beans and that we are managing to preserve the taste and the flavour of origin; (we are preserving) the essential characteristics of all origins without trying smoothing them; we will keep its defects. Finally, those defects, that search for the uneven, for what is not normal, what is not prescriptive, that makes the quality of what are we doing here.
He adds: Even if we are surrounded by famous neighbours like Belgians and Swiss, they are occupying another domain. They are first of all making softer tastes, they are more universal, for the wider public and in relation to what we are doing here, we are focusing on fine connoisseurs.
Ducasse's role here is as an artistic director who defines flavours and approves ideas and concepts.
The factory is run by Nicolas Berger who adjusts and adapts flavours.
They meet at the end to put the finishing touches to new products like this DIY chocolate Christmas tree which was introduced for the festive season and has proved to be very popular.
Berger says: I was looking for something that would represent Christmas. A Christmas tree was simple and the most obvious idea and then we had the idea of making circular parts and to have an original taste of chocolate and finally we made something that is pretty likeable and fun.
More than a decade ago, Berger met Ducasse in New York.
He was a young chocolate master.
His interest in chocolate began in childhood with his father who worked in a chocolate factory.
Nicolas Rosselli is one of the serious chocolate buyers now making their way to the Ducasse workshops.
Tasting a sample he says: I find this very subtle, very rich (in taste).

Présentation du livre Goyard Malletier Paris
Bienvenue sur la malle en coin. Aujourd’hui nous vous présentons un ouvrage hors du commun. Edité en 2010 chez Devambez, éditeur d’art, le livre Goyard tient plus de l’œuvre d’art que du simple livre.
D’abord sa forme ; imprimé en tirage limité à 233 exemplaires (clin d’œil à l’adresse mythique de Goyard à Paris situé au 233 rue St-Honoré), il est imprimé sur du papier vélin filigrané d’arches dans les Vosges. Il bénéficie d’une impression typographique fait main.
Les pages sont volantes comme dans l’impression des premiers ouvrages et sa reliure est une malle Goyard numérotée et personnalisée client par client.
Ce livre, je vous propose d’en survoler le contenu.
Nous avons eu la chance en 2010 de collaborer avec Pierre Tzenkoff et de modestement contribuer en fournissant quelques images de notre fond.
Être experts en bagage ancien c’est d’abord s’intéresser à l’histoire avec un grand H. Puis se passionner pour celles avec un petit h. Constituer une documentation est la base de l’expertise, ainsi au fil des années nous disposons d’une documentation de plus de 200 catalogues anciens de malletiers, de cartes postales originales de publicités, d’étiquettes d’hôtels, etc…
Nous sommes donc bien placés pour apprécier le travail extraordinaire de recherche qui a été effectué sur cet ouvrage. Chaque page est un trésor, chaque ressource et chaque texte est justifié, commenté, illustré. De nombreux scoops sont dévoilés, comme la date du dépôt de brevet de la goyardine ou comme par exemple l’association en 1932 où cinq malletiers parmi les plus grandes maisons parisiennes forment ensemble une nouvelle société et s’associent à part égales : François Bertin de chez Au Depart, Jules Coulembier de chez Moynat,, André Deraisme, Aux Etats-Unis, Robert Goyard et Gaston Louis Vuitton.
Ce livre est une mine indispensable à la compréhension de la fabrication, de l’histoire et des modèles Goyard, mais il nous apprend également beaucoup sur Vuitton, Moynat et Aux Etats Unis. Comment les marchands de bagages contactés lors de la sortie de l’ouvrage ont pu ne pas l’acheter ?
Nous avons déposé cet ouvrage auprès du musée du bagage de Haguenau dans lequel, sur rendez-vous, il est consultable
