Chandeleur : What pairings for your crepes

Candlemas, or the art of celebrating simplicity

Candlemas is not just a tradition.
It’s a warm, bright, almost comforting ritual: a table gathering, a few still-warm crepes, and the simple desire to share.

At At Alain Milliat, we believe that Fruit can transform an ordinary moment into a true tasting experience.
So rather than piling on the toppings, we invite you to explore just and elegant accompaniments, where taste always comes first.

What accompaniments to choose to enhance your crepes?

1. Tasting Jams: the natural generosity of the Fruit

Jam is one of the great classics of Candlemas.
When crafted with the same care as a Juice or a Nectar, it becomes a true tasting experience.
Among our signatures:

The Mecker Raspberry : intense and slightly tangy: it precisely awakens the warm crepe.

TheBergeron Apricot : a sunny, bright note, with an elegant and natural sweetness.

The Wild Blueberry : deeper, woody, ideal for winter.

2. Juices & Nectars: the drink pairing that makes a difference

On Candlemas, we often think about the filling.
But the glass also has its role in the balance of the moment. Some elegant pairings to try right now:

Late Orange Juice from Sicily
Fresh, frank, bright — perfect for breakfast.

Nectar Williams Pear
Soft, sweet, comforting — ideal with a crepe with semi-salted butter.

Mango Nectar
Pulpy and enveloping — almost like a dessert in itself.

Passion Fruit Nectar
Tangy, structured — it energizes sweet crepes.

3. Organic Ciders: the traditional pairing, reinterpreted

Candlemas has always been associated with Cider.
But when it is crafted with the same precision as a Tasting juice, the pairing becomes gastronomic. The Alain Milliat Organic Ciders express the purity of the Fruit, with a fine and elegant effervescence. They pair particularly well with:

A crepe with semi-salted butter,

A crepe with fine sugar,

A crepe with Pear or Apple.

When the Fruit becomes a gesture of attention

Choosing an accompaniment for Candlemas is not just about choosing a flavor.
It’s choosing an intention. At Alain Milliat, each Juice, Nectar, Jam, and Cider is conceived as a sincere, precise, and elegant interpretation of the Fruit. And perhaps that is, ultimately, the most beautiful way to celebrate Candlemas:
let simplicity speak… with refinement.
