The enchantment of Christmas takes hold of Paris, imbuing the capital with its festive magic. More than ever, the City of Light lives up to its nickname, with illuminated streets, enchanted decorations and entertainment to delight young and old alike. At this time of year, people are rushing out to buy gifts to spoil their loved ones, and looking for great ideas to share with friends and family around a table worthy of a Christmas tale.
And one of the most eagerly awaited centerpieces of traditional Christmas dinners and gourmet New Year's Eve celebrations is, of course, the famous log. The log is a major inspiration for pastry chefs all over the capital, as pastry shops, bakeries and grand hotels all over Paris and the surrounding region unveil their festive creations to mark the occasion and accompany these moments of joy. For some, it's a chance to wow other guests with original, surprising and tasty creations.
At the Burgundy, not far from Place de la Concorde, Pastry Chef Léandre Vivier has come up with a final bouquet... in the truest sense of the word! For Christmas 2024, he's unveiled a refined, floral bûche that shakes things up while preserving the spirit of the festive season. The "Fleurs d'Hiver" log is unveiled in a bouquet of ranunculus, as if crystallized by frost, evoking an enchanted winter garden. A fine, subtle reinterpretation of this Christmas tradition.
In principle, the log is inspired by Mont-Blanc. However, without departing from the gourmet approach, Léandre Vivier has created a lighter, more floral take on this great pastry classic. In doing so, he manages to maintain the link between the aesthetics of the log and its flavors. The chestnut cream, flavored with rum, faithfully brings out the true goodness of the chestnut, whose sweetness is counterbalanced by a strong blackcurrant flavored with Geneviève berry. The whole, wrapped in a lime-scented vanilla mousse, strikes a light balance between freshness and indulgence, a welcome touch at the end of a meal.
With this creation, Léandre Vivier has succeeded in meeting the challenge of offering us an original vision of the Yule log and the winter season, coupled with an innovative yet not divisive tasting experience, so as to bring us a breath of fresh air while remaining consensual. A little piece of winter garden that could find its place on your festive table if you're looking for anexceptional buche. It is available for pre-order from November 15, 2024, then on order 48 hours in advance and available for collection from December 19 to 31, 2024.
