Variety: Red Wine
Country: Netherlands
Price: $8
Description: Petit Chocolat is the perfect synergy of red wine with dark chocolate flavor and chocolate cream. The rich and creamy chocolate flavor makes this wine specialty a delightful dessert on its own or a perfect companion to all kinds of chocolate creations and ice creams. Best served chilled.
Online Review: "...it tastes like a chocolatey version of what you think Baileys tastes like. It’s rich, smooth, and indulgent. The bottle suggests drinking it on its own (the alcohol content is 14 percent, so I put my glass down after one or two sips), or with chocolate desserts, or on top of ice cream, which gets my vote for the best option."
Wine Folly: Since this wine does not list the varietal used, it was hard to find relevant info in the Wine Folly. What it does say about dessert wines on page 65 is that they are perfect for syrups on desserts with nuts, caramel, and vanilla ice cream.
My Review: This wine was sweet, sweet, sweet! This was the sweetest wine I have ever had, even sweeter than the previous chocolate wine I had tried. It smelled like butterscotch and caramel. It had very minimal fruit flavor, the slightest notes of cherry. It mostly tasted like chocolate, cream, and caramel. It was not a strong alcohol flavor, but it did leave a taste on your throat after. It was incredibly smooth, almost like chocolate milk (not flavor wise). I would absolutely drink this wine again but even though I love sweets, I don't think I could drink this wine and eat any dessert as that would be too sweet.
