La Maison du Chocolat Launches Spring 2026 Coffrets Printemps Cherry Blossom Collection

La Maison du Chocolat launched its Spring 2026 collection, Coffrets Printemps, on February 15, 2026, unveiling limited-edition bonbons inspired by cherry blossoms and refined gift box designs by Paris-based Japanese artist Yukiko Noritake. The Parisian house, founded in 1977, timed the release to coincide with spring confectionery season in Japan and followed with a short member campaign beginning February 16.

The brand foregrounded creative leadership in its Japanese product copy, crediting chef‑chocolatier Nicolas Cloiseau, M.O.F., with recreating seasonal imagery. The site states, in Japanese, “二コラ･クロワゾーは、日本の春の生み出す一瞬の美しさをショコラで再現しました。” It also opened the collection description with the phrase, “春の訪れを寿ぐ、明るく晴れやかなコレクションがパリより届きました。”

Two named bonbons were detailed in the spring copy. Te Fleur de Cerisier (テ フルール ドゥ スリズィエ) is built on a green tea ganache coated in dark chocolate and incorporates a blend of green tea and red fruit purée; the copy describes a progression from vegetal freshness to floral aroma and a fruity chocolate finish. Pistache (ピスタッシュ) blends three pistachio pastes with milk chocolate to create layered pistachio depth balanced by milk chocolate sweetness and emphasized cocoa richness.

La Maison du Chocolat opened a members-only promotion tied to the spring launch. Carré de Passionné members who purchased eligible Spring Collection items between February 16 and February 28, 2026, could receive two campaign gift chocolates — Cherry Flower Tea (1 piece) and Chocolate Ganache Pistachio (1 piece) — by entering coupon code WHITEDAY26 at checkout. The campaign required Carré de Passionné registration, was limited to one redemption per person, and capped gifts at the first 100 customers; the promotional gift could not be shipped separately. The Financier Coeur gift box, noted as an online boutique exclusive, was listed among eligible products. Members receive free shipping on orders of ¥8,000 (tax included) or more; customer inquiries are directed to contact@lamaisonduchocolat.co.jp, with support available weekdays from 10:00 to 17:00.

The launch arrives against a wave of regional spring offerings: Godiva Japan’s GODIVA × LABUBU on February 18, 2026; Joël Robuchon’s Sakura petit gâteaux available February 15 through early April at select locations; Authent Hotel Otaru’s Spring Strawberry Afternoon Tea on weekends and holidays March 1–May 31, 2026; and GGCo. Cafes’ spring-limited breads and sandwiches from March 2, 2026. Critical context for La Maison du Chocolat includes New York Times praise for the house’s fruit-forward ganaches: “The fruity ganache batons from the French chocolatier La Maison du Chocolat charmed us with the clear, vibrant flavors of tart berries, tropical fruit, and citrus. The cassis ganache was pungent and aromatic, while the lemon possessed a meringue pie lushness. The latter was a sleeper favorite among the tasters, reminding us how underrated the combination of lemon and chocolate is.”

The brand’s launch materials and online boutique did not publish retail prices, a complete SKU list for Coffrets Printemps, or detailed global availability and allergen lists in the captured product copy; those details remain to be confirmed by La Maison du Chocolat for shoppers seeking specific pricing, ingredient transparency, and international shipping information.
