April 2020, Olivier, a former chemist turned wine merchant near Aix-en-Provence, discovered in the workshop of his neighbor, a master chocolatier, cocoa pod peels in jute bags destined to be thrown away.

For ecological reasons, he spreads the bark as mulch in his garden. In the fall , to his surprise, chocolatey aromas still wafted throughout the property. The aromas were still present.

Alongside his 13-year-old son, he took out his chemistry test tubes. From this inspiration, Rouge Cabosse® was born in December 2020 : the first fusion of wine and natural cocoa flavors.
