My favorite chocolate is Charbonnel et. Walker, the pink champagne truffles.

Hi Peter, Have to say this is a great list. Is there any place to get Dominique Persoone here in the US? I'm going to try and check off your list. I was able to try ROYCE here from www.royceusa.com - tastes very different and unique from the European style chocs, but definitely a notch above Japanese confectionery.
