Galette des rois
The galette des rois is the emblematic dessert of January, with its golden puff pastry and gourmet frangipane. To enjoy it to the full, it's essential to accompany it with a drink that enhances its richness and aromas. The frangipane, with its almond notes and melting texture, calls for a drink that balances its sweetness without overpowering it.
