PIERRE HERMÉ PARIS
Taste, form, aroma, texture—captivated by flawless beauty.
Noël & Fêtes 2009 Audace—Resilience
Sweet caramel and rich chocolate—a romantic story evoked by enchanting aromas. PIERRE HERMÉ PARIS presents "Audace—Resilience," its Christmas sweets collection.
Deep, flavorful notes emanating from elegant silhouettes
The ancient Roman poet Virgil wrote in his epic poem, the "Aeneid," the maxim: "Audaces fortuna iuvat" (Fortune favors the bold).
The heroes described here must surely have been figures of resolute courage. The posture of a hero who confronts any difficulty with unwavering resolve resonates with PIERRE HERMÉ PARIS's own approach to sweets, constantly pursuing the finest tastes and boldly devising original recipes each day. This year, PIERRE HERMÉ PARIS unveils its Christmas collection under the theme of "Resilience."
Bûche Chuao
Price | ¥6,300 Size | 17 cm
The new "Bûche Chuao" is inspired by "Chuao," a chocolate made from cacao beans cultivated on Chuao Island in Venezuela.
By adding the refreshing tartness of cassis, the rich aroma of "Chuao," hailed as "the world's most highly regarded chocolate," is brought to its fullest expression.
"The light and creamy texture of the specially prepared ganache enhances both the chocolate and cassis, resulting in a finish that is not overly rich," says Pierre Hermé.
To fully savor its powerful flavors, we recommend letting it sit at room temperature for two hours before slicing into 1cm pieces.
Bûche Infiniment Caramel
Bûche Infiniment Caramel
Price | ¥6,300 Size | 17 cm
The new "Bûche Infiniment Caramel" features a creamy, melting texture, luscious caramel, moist cake, and a rich butter caramel flavor with hidden notes of fleur de sel and lemon juice.
This masterpiece is born from the same creative spirit that previously led Pierre Hermé to pursue the ideal of Viennese coffee with "Infiniment Café" and to maximize the pure taste of vanilla with "Infiniment Vanille," in his quest for "the dream of sweets."
"I would be most delighted if you could cut it into small pieces, savor it, and immerse yourself in the emotion," says Pierre Hermé.
Céleste
Price | ¥5,250 Size | Diameter 15 cm
Strawberry and rhubarb compote, a compote of sun-drenched strawberries and rhubarb, baked cheesecake, and the tang of passion fruit—three accents perfectly balanced in this Christmas cake named "Céleste" (heavenly).
Tarte Plénitude
Price | ¥4,200 Size | Diameter 15 cm
A burst of chocolate fills the mouth, with a lingering aftertaste of intense caramel texture.
The smoothness of the bitter chocolate mousse and chocolate ganache envelops the palate, creating a unique flavor profile.
Macarons Noël(Set of 3)
Price | ¥2,100
Featuring three varieties: "Macaron Truffe Noire," with the exquisite and wild taste of black truffle; "Macaron Truffe Blanche," a luxurious blend of white truffle and Sicilian hazelnuts; and "Macaron Foie Gras," a creative combination of foie gras jelly and milk chocolate.
How about a stylish adult Christmas night, perhaps with a glass of champagne while gazing at the city lights?
