Abysses Profondeurs du goût
A mysterious dive into the depths of the oceans, corals, anemones and other sea sponges: this is the odyssey that Pierre Hermé invites us to discover with the Abysses collection. Inspired by the works of ceramic artist Courtney Mattison, made from hand-glazed stoneware and porcelain, this infinitely indulgent, decidedly marine Christmas collection is another chapter in the artist's Letter to the Ocean. Her monumental works reveal the incredible biodiversity of the seas, where colours, curves, volumes and textures create a sense of movement, swirl and life. Here, the infinitely large celebrates the infinitely small.
“When I discovered Courtney Mattison's work, I was immediately fascinated by the contrast between her imposing sculptures and the fragility of ceramics. Her work oscillates between delicacy and power. I was moved by the beauty of her world, which combines the convictions of a biologist, the commitment of an artist and the infinitely elegant and lively expression of her works. How can one not be inspired by the organic complexity and resilience of these marine ecosystems!”
“I immediately threw myself into this project. Our professions share many similarities, such as manual labour and the dream we wish to offer. I handcraft each of my sculptures to celebrate the richness and fragility of coral reefs. Collaborating with Pierre Hermé to share my work and translate it, through our exchanges, into a collection of pastries has been a particularly exciting experience.”
The Maison Pierre Hermé Paris has chosen to partner with The Coral Planters, a French association that works to restore coral reefs, create new marine protected areas and raise public awareness of the beauty and fragility of the oceans through a resolutely educational approach.
Calendriers de l'avent
The Advent calendar charms with its quirky and ephemeral look. With its perfect round shape and vibrant colours, it reveals 24 Infiniment Chocolat creations day after day, much to the delight of chocolate lovers.
Piece created by Courtney Mattison in glazed porcelain, handcrafted and decorated with fine textured cords. To enhance the work, a touch of gold is applied to the reliefs. Limited editions.
Calendrier Infiniment Grand
For the first time, Pierre Hermé presents an Infiniment Grand Advent Calendar, a 90 cm diameter wreath offering an exceptional treat every day: spreads, truffles, bars, boxes of chocolates or scented candles...
Under the skilled hands of Pierre Hermé and Courtney Mattison, this wreath becomes a work of art, where corals, anemones and Infiniment Chocolat sweets compose a sensory odyssey. December promises to be Infiniment Gourmand.
Macarons Les Adorables
A must-have for Christmas collections, Adorables macarons offer a tasting experience full of surprises and unexpected flavours. This year, Pierre Hermé captivates us with his original combinations: mandarin meets gingerbread, mango invites honey, grapefruit responds to celery. White truffle, rose and delicious black lemon are also on the menu.
Coffrets de Macarons
The Christmas macaron boxes combine signature flavours with exclusive creations designed for the festive season. Each box, with its shades of blue, touches of gold and elegant reliefs, celebrates the marine world imagined by Courtney Mattison.
Bûches
A collection of extraordinary logs, an ode to the marine ecosystem and its fragile beauty. Here, sculpture meets pastry, bringing each creation to life. With gentle undulations, precious curves, unexpected reliefs and coral branches, the logs reveal their mysterious aura. The various limited edition creations add incredible depth to the entire collection. The exceptional log cake stands out with its finely sculpted shell. This limited edition artistic piece for the Infiniment Chocolat boutique impresses with its extraordinary dimensions, unique identity and marine flavours.
Available from November 27
Nérée - Pièce d'Exception
Born from a dialogue between the two artists, the Nérée log seems to have emerged straight from the water. Beneath a chocolate shell echoing the jagged contours of reefs, whose swirls are embellished with Infiniment Noisette praline, the log reveals itself, a dreamlike dome of Pure Origin Belize Dark Chocolate, Cayo District, Xibun Plantation. The powerful, tangy aromas of the chocolate are enhanced by the subtle, slightly smoky notes of Nori seaweed, and the tasting experience ends with the fresh, fragrant flavours of yuzu gel.

Pièce d'Exception Infiniment Chocolat
This unique piece is a fantasy, a sculpture taken from the work of Courtney Mattison. It features the dome of the exceptional log in an imposing chocolate sculpture. The chocolate sculptures surrounding it are filled with chocolate bonbons, caramelised hazelnuts, mendiants or Infiniment Noisette praline, then assembled and painted by hand to form an extraordinary reef weighing nearly 12kg! A work of art requiring many hours of work by our artisan chocolatiers.

Panettones & stollen
Made using natural sourdough starter (levito madre), our Panettones embody the excellence of Italian tradition, inherited from Milanese expertise. For this collection, Pierre Hermé reinterprets this Italian classic by infusing it with signature flavours from Maison Pierre Hermé Paris: Ispahan, Arya, Infiniment Chocolat and Infiniment Noisette... A delicious combination of heritage and audacity.
Coffrets cadeaux
For the festive season, Pierre Hermé Paris has created a collection of gift boxes to give or share. These gourmet assortments include boxes of macarons, chocolate bonbons, teas and travel cakes.
Coral reefs are home to nearly 25% of marine biodiversity, but they are seriously threatened. Preserving this vital balance is an urgent matter to which everyone can contribute.
That is why the Maison Pierre Hermé Paris has chosen to partner with The Coral Planters, a French association dedicated to restoring coral reefs, creating new marine protected areas, and raising public awareness of the beauty and fragility of the oceans through an educational approach. By adopting a coral, you join us in becoming an active participant in this project. This gesture symbolizes a shared commitment: turning emotion into responsibility, and making beauty an invitation to preserve what truly matters.
