The Lenôtre Christmas wreath log by Etiennne Leroy and the creations of fête 2024

Every year, Maison Lenôtre redoubles its efforts to delight and surprise our taste buds during the festive season. This year, it's in its Bûche Gemmes that our taste buds are enchanted.

Le Bûche Gemmes signature

Available from December 18 in Lenôtre boutiques, this luxurious and refined creation revisits the Advent wreath with flavors combining chocolate, citrus fruit and the subtle freshness of kaffir lime leaves. Inspired by the Advent wreath, this €190 for 8-person creation evokes the universal symbol of welcome and generosity. Étienne Leroy has imagined this log as a jewel to be shared, where every detail evokes the savoir-faire of the jeweller. The chocolate decorations, chiselled like precious metal, adorn a composition rich in textures and flavours.

At the heart of this log is a perfect balance:

• Chocolate mousse and cream infused with kaffir lime leaves: an exotic, fresh infusion, reminiscent of lemon and ginger notes.

• Crunchy hazelnut and soft chocolate cookie: for a crunchy, gourmet base.
