After a big holiday meal, what's better than some chocolate and champagne? Chocolatier Jacques Torres and Sommelier Victoria James share a few of their favorite pairings inspired by the holiday season.
Torres and James walk through three different pairings featuring Jacques Torres Chocolates and Taittinger Champagne. Torres's truffles feature different kinds of champagne including rosé, which James has paired with a similar bottle.
