CHARTIER CREATEUR D’HARMONIES

CRÉATEUR D’HARMONIES

CHARTIER CRÉATEUR  D’HARMONIES

Barcelone –  montréal  – paris –  tokyo.

François Chartier has been on an aromatic quest since the late 1980s to understand the impact of aromas in our daily lives, more specifically in the world of gastronomy, wine and beverages. The Quebec native has been living in Barcelona since 2016, with his wife and partner, sommelière Isabelle Moren ( see Chartier Team ). A sommelier, cook, columnist, author, researcher, consultant, trainer and lecturer, he has had a unique and brilliant career.

Today, François Chartier is an advisor on the research committee for the new SONY AI Gastronomy project in Tokyo, and “Master Blender” at one of the country’s oldest sake breweries, Tanaka Shuzo; his first sake Tanaka 1789 X Chartier will be launched worldwide in the spring of 2020. He has been a member of the board of directors of the International Society of Neurogastronomy at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine and UK HealthCare since 2015.

Since 2017, he has also been developing multiple projects in Japan, with his partner Isabelle Moren, and their collaborator Nicolas Roché ( see Chartier Team ), around his aromatic science. Since 2018, SONY Music Solution , in Tokyo, has been the Quebecer’s agent as Chartier’s business development representative in Japan. For the record, this same music giant was the agent of starred chef Joël Robuchon on Japanese soil for over 25 years. Sony Music’s presence in the world of gastronomy is therefore not a first!

His exceptional track record places him in a class of his own, as no international gastronomy professional has ever achieved what this creator of harmonies has achieved to date: winner of the prestigious title of  Best Sommelier in the World  (Sopexa Grand Prix 1994 in french wine and spirit), he also won the prize for  Best Cookbook in the World, twice, in 2010 in Paris (with Taste buds and Molecules ) and 2016 in China (with L’Essentiel de Chartier ),  and Best Wine and Food Pairing Book in the World , in 2013 in Paris (with Papilles pour Tous! ).

His passion led him to follow his own path by bypassing some of the rules of his profession. In 2004, he literally created a new science: that of “Molecular Harmonies”, based on the potential for aromatic synergy between foods – which has redefined haute cuisine –, as well as between foods, wines and different beverages. In doing so, he successfully explained and deepened the impact of aromas on the world’s gastronomic heritage, as well as the harmony between food and wine and other drinks such as sake and beer.

In 1996, François Chartier received the coveted Mérite de la Restauration Award from the Quebec Ministry of Tourism for his contribution to the emancipation of the sommelier and restaurant industry in Quebec. In 2008, he was awarded the title of chevalier de l’Ordre national du Québec , the highest distinction awarded by the Quebec government.

Since then, he has never stopped developing his aromatic science and is considered a world expert in aromas. Famous American wine critic Robert M. Parker Jr. describes François Chartier as “a pure genius”. At the same time, renowned chef Ferran Adrià of elBulli (named the world’s best restaurant five times) calls him “the number one flavor expert”.

Numerous collaborations

François Chartier is consultant in aromatic science, which leads him to help create recipes inspired by his aromatic science for some of the world’s most celebrated chefs. These include Ferran Adrià, of the famous elBulli restaurant (from 2007 to 2009), with whom he had collaborated to develop more than 60 recipes that were served at this iconic restaurant; Andoni Aduriz, of the Mugaritz restaurant (in the Top 7 of the 50 Best Restaurants in the World), with whom he worked to create the 20 th anniversary menu in 2018; Albert Raurich (Ferran Adrià’s right-hand man at elBulli for 11 years), of the Michelin-starred Barcelona restaurant Dos Palillos, where he was invited to help create the menu for the 10 th anniversary of this innovative restaurant, while at the same time celebrating the 30 th anniversary of Chartier’s aromatic quest; and Stéphane Modat, of the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac in Quebec City, his best friend with whom he collaborated in writing 5 aromatic recipe books and developed more than 1500 aromatic recipes over the years.

In 2019, he was commissioned by the Consul General of D.O. Cava in Catalonia to carry out a scientific analysis of the molecular profiles of the different types of cava (sparkling wines from Catalonia and Spain). He subsequently used his aromatic science to create an international map of the possible harmonies between cava and the different cuisines of the world. The result of his research was unveiled in February 2020 at Barcelona Wine Week , at a press conference and tasting that was very well attended by the specialized media. He will be travelling the world to share his discoveries in aromatic masterclasses designed by his team and D.O. Cava.

François Chartier also makes his expertise available to partners like Cacao Barry. Since 2014, he has been collaborating at various levels with the world’s largest high-end chocolate manufacturer, applying the precepts of his aromatic science to the world of chocolate. This includes laboratory research work, masterclasses around the world, and the creation of new recipes, in collaboration with Cacao Barry’s master chocolatiers and ambassadors. This productive partnership continues to inspire new innovative projects.

Chartier: creator of wines, beers, sakes

Wines – Since 2009, François Chartier has been using his experience and knowledge to produce his own wines in Europe (France, Italy and Spain), selected and blended for gourmet pleasures. His is a unique approach and a continuously refined savoir-faire, surrounded by various partners. Chartier wines are authentic and they respect the signature of each appellation. They were an immediate hit when they were launched by Quebec’s SAQ in 2013 and are now sold in other Canadian provinces as well as in Spain and will soon be available in Japan.

The “créateur d’harmonies” also makes wines for select customers, including Jérôme Ferrer’s restaurants. The Montreal-based chef wanted to propose his customers wines in perfect harmony with the dishes offered in some of his restaurants. François Chartier has also created wines for the restaurants at the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac in Quebec City. Finally, Sobey’s (IGA), the most important chain of grocery stores in Canada, invited him to create a new line of wines for food pairings. He did so with the same brio and success.

Beers – In March 2014, Glutenberg , a rising star among Montreal microbreweries, launched its Gastronomy Series, a new project in partnership with François Chartier. The concept of seasonal beers is inspired by Chartier’s book Taste Buds and Molecules and his aromatic science and is instilled by fine cuisine and developed for the table. The line of beer includes Impérial Sotolon, Saison Froide, Solérone d’automne, Lapsang d’automne and Myrcène de glace. Three of the five beers were awarded the prestigious title of Best Innovative Beer in the World at the World Beer Cup Awards, that with only gluten-free beers!

François Chartier’s latest aromatic project will be unveiled in Barcelona in October 2020: the gastronomic beer Damm by Chartier , inspired by his science and developed in collaboration with the leading Spanish beer brand Damm, which had created a gastronomic beer in 2008 with chef Ferran Adrià: Inédit.

Sake  – Because François Chartier is represented in Japan by SONY Music for business development, he has been regularly visiting Japan since 1995. It was during one of those stays that he discovered the world of Japanese sake and became passionate about its richness and diversity. Since 2017, he has been  “Master Blender”  at one of the country’s oldest sake breweries,  Tanaka 1789 Shuzo , founded in 1789. The brewery decided to name a new line of hand-crafted sakes elaborated by Chartier  Tanaka 1789 X Chartier . The first of this new series of hand-crafted blended sakes will be launched worldwide in the spring of 2020.

A hard worker with multiple awards

In 1994 he won the prestigious Best Sommelier of the World award (Grand Prix Sopexa 1994, Paris, in wines and spirits of France). Ever since then, this aromas specialist has never stopped innovating and relentlessly pursuing his research.

After publishing 26 books, he released the first results of his research in molecular harmonies in his world bestseller Papilles et Molécules ( Taste Buds and Molecules ) , launched in 2009. It has been published in many languages since then. This book was awarded Best Cookbook in the World in the Innovation category at the Gourmand World CookBook Awards 2010 in Paris.

In 2012, Chartier published the collection of four aromatic recipe books Papilles pour tous! , inspired by Chartier’s aromatic science, with his accomplice chef Stéphane Modat, from Quebec City’s Fairmont Le Château Frontenac. Together, they have created more than 1,500 recipes over the years (collected in five books in all). The Papilles pour tous! collection won the top prize in the best wine and food pairing category at the Gourmand World CookBook Awards in 2013. That same year, Chartier and Modat created and co-hosted the culinary show Papilles , which aired on Télé-Québec. It was also broadcast in 125 French-speaking countries via TV5 Monde.

Finally, in 2015, the book L’Essentiel de Chartier was published, the result of the last six years of Chartier’s aromatic research since Taste Buds and Molecules was published. The book won the award for the Best Cookbook in the World , in the Innovation category at the Gourmand World CookBook Awards held in China in 2016. This book has since been translated into Spanish (under the title La Cocina Aromática, Edición planeta Gastro).

It is worth noting that François Chartier also inspired filmmaking in 2013 with the documentary Le nez . It was launched in Quebec, then in France under the title L’Odorat , followed by a launch in English-speaking countries, on Netflix, under the title The Empire of Scents . This documentary was directed by KIM NGUYEN, who was nominated for an Oscar in 2013 for another film, Rebel . The documentary highlights the work and passion of François Chartier by retracing his aromatic quest that revolutionized the world of gastronomy.

 In 2018, François Chartier developed a new creative concept inspired by his aromatic science, Smell to See Picasso . Presented as part of the exhibition Picasso’s Kitchen at the Picasso Museum in Barcelona, this sensory adventure offers visitors an enhanced experience in the artist’s universe.

Meet the Friend: François Chartier, Tanaka 1789

François Chartier ’s whole career is a true tour de force . Starting out in the wine world as a waiter in his early 20s, he has gone on to become one of the world’s most respected sommeliers. He is an award-winning author of 27 books of wine and flavours, and is a sought-after advisor on wine, beer, chocolate, fragrances and AI with Sony’s new gastronomy project. One of his most recent adventures has been to reimagine the world of sake, launching the first blended sake concept with Tanaka 1789 last year. Amanda Barnes interviews him, a Friend of the Circle, to find out more.

How did you get into wine?

It started in 1985. I was in a wine bar in Australia at that time far away from home [Montreal, Canada], but there was amazing wine there and I tasted Pyrus from Lindeman’s. I remember saying “this is like drinking blood!” From that day I remember thinking how amazing it was to taste things that can create an emotion in you.

The following year, while I was a waiter at a restaurant and a DJ by night in Australia, in 1986, I was invited to my first tasting menu with wine. I remember there was smoked salmon that the chef had smoked with his own cherry wood and he talked about the wine that he chose and why… Now I know that was the key moment that I chose to get into wine. I became a sommelier, I studied to be a chef and a scientist.

Although I had always been obsessed by flavour as a child… Even back in Montreal when we were playing ice hockey in the freezing temperatures, I would be talking about the aromas of the doughnuts!

Tell me about your approach and journey into food and wine matching.

Since then I wanted to learn about flavours and not only making wine but food too. I don’t think you can be a good sommelier without understanding food, and the way you make it for different flavours. I won a place on the only sommelier course in Canada in 1989, back in Montreal, and after that I decided to do sommelier contests to give me a kick in the ass to study more!

In 1990, I decided to go live in Burgundy and work as a sommelier, which is where I believe is still the most complex place for wine. I worked in Les Millésimes, where I learned the language of the vigneron and also food pairings.

For example, if you serve a dish with fresh mint and Sauvignon Blanc, there’s a match. It doesn’t matter what else is going on – umami or whatever – there’s a match. Same with black olive and Syrah, there’s always an aromatic match.

In the late 1990s, I realised that we have oenology to understand wine in a scientific point of view, and for cooking there’s science to understand more behind cooking. I said to myself, there’s no scientific approach to understanding matching wine and food. There’s a missing link, we need a scientific approach to matching food and wine.

In 2001, I took a break to go meet food scientists around the world. And I got the idea that I could prove that there were scientific matches between food and wine. It’s a bit like music, when you learn music on a scientific point of view that same song you could learn by ear, now you can play in a million different ways. So I thought that if I could understand wine and food by a scientific point of view, I could be more creative with it.

I went to see a scientist in 2002, Dr Richard Béliveau, who was looking at the connection between food and cancer. I learnt that there were molecules with health properties, but also aromatic properties. I wanted to understand the molecules between black olive and Syrah, for example. He opened his laboratory for me to work in. And from this study came my first book on this science — Papilles et Molécules: L a Science Aromatique des Aliments et des Vins (Taste Buds and Molecules: The art and science of food with wine).

How did you end up in Japan making sake?

I am a big freak of all things Japan and its gastronomy. I first went there on a sommelier competition in 1995 I had been back more than 50 times. And my good friend in Japan, Endo Youichi, in 2016, helped me get Sony Music Solutions as my agent and that’s how I met Wakana Tabata, owner of Tanaka Shuzoten Sake Brewery in miyagi, Japan. And with my partner and wife, Isabelle Moren, we made a presentation for about two hours on aromas.

They asked us to make one sake for them, they had just bought Tanaka Shuzoten. But I said no, what can I bring to the Toji [sake cellar masters]? They have been making sake for 500 years with their method! They invited me to come for a week anyway, and to see what they were doing.

After two days, I said to myself that there is no blending story in Japan in the sake business. It’s all about purity, so they do one sake in one tank and they bottle it. When they do blends they do blends for a practical reason (eg. they had an extra tank) but not to magnify quality or storytelling for selling. But in the drinks business, like in Champagne and whisky for example, the blending moment is when the drink takes its soul. The moment of the blend is where the magic happens. Even in wine, you blend the soil with the grape vine, for example.

That’s when I had the idea of the new art of blending in sake, in 2017. I also saw there was a huge gap in the export market for sake, and one of my goals at the time was that the future consumers of sake were wine people. Wine people are already wine and food lovers, so I thought we need to craft sake for wine lovers.

But sake needed to have acidity. Sake has five times less acidity than wine for example. It’s more about umami. I started creating sake with more acidity naturally, and I discovered that if you polish the rice less (which is contrary to the top sakes, which are around 28% polished) you don’t pull out as many amino acids, esters, acids… So we only polish around 60% to keep some of those natural acids. I was looking for more body and more acidity, like a wine. This is just one example, but we have worked with the Toji to adjust ten steps.

And then I started blending… and that’s when I realised we have something here. A new experience for the consumer, a new sake with some acidity and crafted for the wine lover. When the Toji started to taste my blind tasting, they all thought I had brought the last three samples in my luggage but when I told them it was theirs, blended, they all realised the potential too. It was one of those moments I will always remember.

We released our first Blend 001 in August 2020, delayed because of Covid, but even despite the difficulties we already have it in 17 countries. This is our flagship, which we will make again.

And a few months ago we released Blend 002. This is a more sexy blend, full of fruit and completely different. And there will only be 800 bottles, it is a private collector item. And the next blend will be Blend 003. And we have our Pavilion blend of Blend 001 which is a second label. And soon our Diamond of Blend 001, which is our top label. It is like our Vega Sicilia of sake…

The flagship Blend 001 currently retails at approximately 80 euros for 500 ml, Diamond will retail for US$1789. The UK importer is Propeller https://propeller.wine/

“A Day in the Life” with artist, François Chartier

Raconter des histoires. C’est ce que mon frère, François Chartier s’amuse à faire … par la peinture, l’hyperréalisme. François a l’imagination débordante et un sens de l’observation hors du commun. Il a toujours la tête en action, très loin des nuages car il observe tout ce qui se présente devant lui, s’y connecte, l’imagine autrement, choisit méticuleusement et réorganise. Il travaille avec des objets, du papier, des fleurs et même des personnages comme Tintin ou Snoopy, qui lui « parlent », pour créer ses grands tableaux. Ainsi, il raconte ses histoires que l’on s’amuse à suivre attirés par les détails qui nous hypnotisent, nous séduisent et nous font sourire car François est vif d’esprit et sensible à la beauté. Il a du plaisir à créer et on le sent. On entre dans cet espace qu’il conçoit et on peut y passer des heures à s’y «promener ». J’adore les titres de ses œuvres tels Where Have I Parked the Batmobile, A Night at the Opera ou GO 4 IT parce qu’ils sont réjouissants. !!! François m’inspire, je me souviens quand j’étais petite il créait et fabriquait des T-shirts avec des appliqués de feutres, des ceintures et des sacs à main en suède, des bijoux avec des billes de bois colorées et des tiges de métal toujours dans les goûts du temps. On était dans les années 70 et c’était parfait! Il était né pour créer!

-Écrit par Céline Chartier (sœur)

Which ’hood are you in?

I lived in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve for 40 years, but I just move 1 and a half years ago to a wonderful loft in an old jam factory in Ville Marie, near the village. It’s a very different mood and I love it. It’s nice surrounding to walk with Angie my 6-year-old wired hair fox terrier, I was amazed to find a little park at almost every street corner.

What do you do?

I worked as a commercial illustrator for over 30 years. In 2000 at 50 I left advertising for full-time painting. I‘m a hyperrealist painter, and I like large still-life paintings. Each painting takes 3 to 4 months to finish. I only produce 3 to 4 paintings a year.

What are you currently working on?

I’m about 1/3 in my next painting, “Who wants to live forever”. A wonderful flower submerge in water, surrounded by bubble….

Where can we find your work?

In Montreal at the Galerie Richelieu , In London UK at the Plus One Gallery , and on my website .

The aromatic harmonies of CAVA

After conducting in-depth research, the expert in aromas and “Créateur d’Harmonies” François Chartier has published this ground-breaking scientific study.

Chartier demonstrates that Cava is the best ally of gastronomy, and pairs perfectly with an infinity of flavours from around the world .

After carrying out general aromatic profiles of the four different categories of Cava (Traditional, Reserva, Gran Reserva and Paraje Calificado Cava), Chartier analysed the dominant molecules for each category through the aromatic science of “molecular harmonies”. This science was created and published in Chartier’s book “ Papilles y Molecules: La Science Aromatique del Aliments y des Vins ” ( Tastebuds and Molecules: the Art and Science of Food, Wine and Flavor ), which won Best Innovative Cookbook in the World at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards 2010.

Chartier’s exhaustive research has led to the identification of multiple ingredients which are complementary to Cava and are translated into an infinity of recipes from around the world.

Never before has the union between Cava and Gastronomy been so precise!

François Chartier “Créateur d'harmonies”

François Chartier, aromas specialist, is regarded internationally as one of the pioneering researchers in aromatic recipes and “molecular harmonies”, or how to create ideal harmonies in food and wine pairings, based on a discipline he created in 2002, which maps out the aromatic molecules that give food and wine their flavour.

The world-renowned wine critic Robert M. Parker Jr. says that Chartier is “pure genius”, while Ferran Adrià considers him to be “the number one expert on flavours”. He is the author, among other works, of T astebuds and Molecules , the best innovative cookbook in the world according to the 2010 Gourmand World Cookbook Awards. Since 2018 he has been an honorary member of the Sony A.I.q Tokyo research team, collaborating with their artificial intelligence and gastronomy project.

7 Things You Need to Know about Louis-Francois Cartier

F rom modest beginnings in 1847 Cartier has become synonymous with exceptional gems, ground-breaking design and exquisite craftsmanship. Founded over 170 years ago by Louis-Francois Cartier (1819-1904) it was not until the early 20th century that his three grandsons propelled the company to international success and acclaim. But who were they and what did they achieve?

1. As Cartier’s success grew in Paris in the late nineteenth century, global expansion beckoned. Louis-Francois Cartier’s three grandsons made an ambitious and strategic decision to separate; Pierre Cartier (1878-1965) established a store at 4 New Burlington Street, London in 1902, that would later be controlled by the youngest brother Jacques Cartier (1884-1942); Pierre Cartier opened a store on Fifth Avenue, New York in 1909, and Louis Cartier (1875-1942) remained in Paris, the geographical heart and soul of the maison.

2. Each brother’s personality would be key to Cartier’s success. Jacques was sociable and understood the importance of nurturing relationships with key clients. He travelled on behalf of the company for the first time in 1911 and many times afterwards, particularly in the 1920s and 1930s to Asia and the Middle East, buying gemstones and pearls, while encouraging the Maharajas of India to re-set their traditional jewellery in the popular Art Deco style. In turn, the Indian mode for coloured gems carved to mimic leaves and berries would inform Cartier’s aesthetic and become their iconic ‘tutti-frutti’ jewels, a style still made today.

3. The London workshops controlled by Jacques Cartier would boom during the reign of King George V and Queen Mary with countless royal and aristocratic commissions. Up until 1929 a daily supply of gemstones was transported in suitcases from Paris and London (the latter became the place to order an important necklace), until the Chancellor of the Exchequer got wind of it and imposed a duty.

4. Louis was the creative heart of the maison. An inherent aesthete, he embraced all forms of art from Islamic to Far Eastern and encouraged the design studios to experiment and innovate. His appointment of Jeanne Toussaint (1887-1978) as Creative Director was a stroke of genius. Amongst other achievements, she would develop the panther as Cartier’s most iconic symbol (her nickname was ‘Panther’). The big cat was most famously depicted in a brooch commissioned by the Duke of Windsor for the Duchess in 1948.

5. Louis also had a knack for predicting and embracing trends. In 1907, during one of the many periods of Egypt-mania that swept through the Decorative Arts at the time, he gave his first wife a scarab ring. The most famous of these periods was the discovery in 1922 of Tutankhamun’s tomb. The years following this discovery would see multiple pieces inspired by an Egyptian aesthetic, with Cartier one of the first jewellers to take ancient artefacts and incorporate them into accessories and objects.

6. Pierre was business minded and saw great potential in the booming economy of New York. He aligned himself with the leading (and wealthiest) families of America, marrying the daughter of a rich industrialist from St Louis, Missouri. The company quickly out-grew its single story Fifth Avenue location, and was replaced by a six-story mansion on the corner of 52nd Street, bought from its owner by Pierre with a one million dollar double strand necklace of natural pearls.

7. Pierre became renowned for his astute salesmanship, particularly when he had a large, historic jewel in his possession. Countless storied stones would pass through his hands including the legendary Hope Diamond, (now housed in the Smithsonian) that he sold to one of Cartier’s best clients in New York, a Mrs McLean. He let her borrow it for the weekend. Despite its renowned curse she would later say ‘at some time during the night I began to want the thing’.
