There is chocolate, and there is Louis Vuitton chocolate. When you need an exceptional suitcase, you go to Louis Vuitton because you will get excellent quality, a sumptuous signature look, and legendary craftsmanship. Because you will get the best. Now, “the best” is available for a taste in the form of first-class chocolate at the newly opened Le Chocolat Maxime Frédéric at Louis Vuitton in Singapore, inspired by Maison’s art of travel.
The launch marks the international debut of Le Chocolat Maxime Frédéric at Louis Vuitton, with previous chocolateries open in Paris and in Courchevel for the winter. It is located in Marina Bay Sands near the brand’s flagship, the world’s only floating LV boutique housed in a spectacular Crystal Pavilion on the waters of Marina Bay. The interior design of the chocolaterie reflects both the luxurious style and playful spirit of the Maison. The walls are bedecked with the brand’s signature creation, the Malle Courrier trunks, in an elegant beige colour, which allows for the sweet treats to come to the fore. Indeed, Maxime Frédéric’s handiwork is displayed like artistic masterpieces in a high-end gallery, rather than simple delicacies in a chocolate shop and justifiably so. Frédéric, the award-winning Chef Pâtissier of Cheval Blanc Paris, is famous for his craftsmanship and attention to detail. A native of Normandy and a grandson of a dairy farmer, he owes his knowledge of raw materials and selection of products of exceptional quality to his heritage. Made with premium natural ingredients sourced directly from Frédéric’s family farm, Louis Vuitton chocolate is a good indulgence for your body and mind.
One common trait between Frédéric and the Maison is the exceptional craftsmanship. Frédéric’s desserts take inspiration from some of Louis Vuitton’s iconic motifs and creations. The pièce de résistance emerges in the form of Vivienne Mascot. This exquisite creation, a nod to the enchanting Vivienne music box, unveils a spellbinding spectacle: set in motion by the twist of a chocolate key, Vivienne begins to pirouette gracefully. It is a symphony of luxury and gastronomic artistry, showcasing the maestro’s virtuosity in crafting intricate chocolate mechanisms with unparalleled finesse. The wonderful Petula presented with a crimson-red Valentine-Day-themed colour accent, another iconic LV figurine, is impossible to resist, combining milk and dark chocolate and hiding coated hazelnut inside. For the lovers of classics, there are the Damier Tablets made with pure chocolate originating from the finest small-scale cocoa farms in Peru, Madagascar, the Dominican Republic, and São Tome. The milk chocolate bar filled with hazelnut gianduja (a luscious blend hailing from the picturesque landscapes of Italy), caramel, and hazelnut sable is adorned with the Maison’s monogram.
Another highlight in Frédéric’s realm of culinary opulence is the limited-edition Valentine’s Day box of heart-shaped chocolates in delicious flavours that will be the perfect gift to your loved one or to yourself. The chocolaterie is the perfect destination whenever you want to indulge in a dainty to sweeten up your life. Le Chocolat Maxime Frédéric at Louis Vuitton is a place where love, artistic elegance, luxury, and pleasure are celebrated all year round. If you find yourself in Singapore, enjoying what Marina Bay Sands has to offer, this door to heaven Le Chocolat Maxime Frédéric at Louis Vuitton is not to be missed.
