Aroma expert and creator of Molecular Harmonies (Barcelona, Spain)
World-renowned sommelier, researcher and author François Chartier created the Aromatic Science of Molecular Harmonies and co-founded Chartier World LAB Barcelona to advance the study of aromas, flavor and sensory experiences.
Turn aromatic connections into creative possibilities
What you'll learn
Learn how Molecular Sommellerie can unlock a world of pairing possibilities, giving you a new framework for creating combinations based on aromatic science rather than tradition alone. François Chartier will introduce you to the ‘1 + 1 = 3’ effect and will explore a range of iconic pairings and their applications.
You’ll discover, for example, the surprising aromatic connection between raspberries and nori seaweed — and how this pairing can be taken even further by introducing Mencía wine. Through many more examples, you’ll begin to understand flavor from a different perspective: looking beyond familiar combinations to explore the molecular connections that bring ingredients and drinks together.
The result? A new way to think about flavor, experiment with greater purpose and expand your creative possibilities.
