Banyuls (Grenache Noir fortified to 16°, terraced schist vineyards facing the Mediterranean at Collioure-Cerbère) — bitter cocoa, candied cherry and rancio form the absolute pairing for 70% dark chocolate cake; sweet chocolate mirroring the cake's, candied cherry balancing Valrhona cocoa bitterness.
