Default Marquise de Sevigne chocolate

Has anyone heard of Marquise de Sevigne chocolate? I was browsing
eChocolates.com today and saw several interesting dark chocolate varieties
in a blue package I didn't recognize. The site didn't identify the company,
and you can't make it out from the image.

So I emailed eChocolates.com about it, and they said they were made by
Marquise de Sevigne in France, apparently a fairly "exclusive" company with
3 stores in France and one of the oldest brands of "Parisian" chocolate.
They also mentioned a Google search reveals that she wrote extensively about
chocolate while at the royal court and was known for her hot chocolate.

They produce a few 70% bars, including one with nibs, one with almonds, and
another with coffee. They're under a dollar an ounce, so they're not
fabulously expensive. I don't see any other American importer - seems worth
an order to check 'em out.

Has anyone tried this brand - if so, what is it like?
