Established in 1983, Le Belge is one of Napa Valley’s premier boutique chocolatiers, celebrated for small-batch Belgian confections crafted in collaboration with local growers, chefs, and vintners. Paired with our elegant Cabernet Franc and Merlot, this collection features eight exquisite truffles that honor traditional techniques while showcasing the distinctive flavors of Napa Valley.
Aromatic complexity and varietal typicity define the 2023 Signature Merlot. Dark cherry and plum skin are layered with subtle blueberry and cocoa powder, recalling the depth and freshness of a cool, unhurried harvest.
The 2023 Cabernet Franc opens with a lifted, floral bouquet of dried rose petal, ripe red cherry, and black currant, underscored by subtle graphite and pencil-shaving minerality. Aromas of tomato leaf, Asian spices, toasted thyme, and hints of soy, licorice, and anise add complexity and intrigue.
