Mademoiselle de Margaux is a French company, founded in 1969 in Margaux, in the Medoc Region on France.

The company is known early on for their chocolate and liqueur fruit confections and their chocolate bars mostly used for baking. Their oldest product is the ‘Guinette’ a cherry bonbo in liqueur surrounded by chocolate – luscious!

In the late 1970s an error happens during production.  One of the machines producing the bars gets twisted somehow, producing a new type of bar, fine and serpentine in shape.  And thus the ‘Sarments du Médoc’ are born.

The product is rewarded in 1983 by a Candy Award at the Fancy Food show in Washington DC.  This prize is given to the best confection imported to the United States.  They are available in different flavors.

These sarments, are fine S shaped twigs of chocolate, flavored with fruit or other flavors such as coffee.    Delicate and refined enough for the most elegant party.  They melt in your mouth but are also crunchy!
