Also, one of the best chocolate sorbet I had (kayak) does not contain cocoa powder, only chocolate. Their chocolate ice cream is also very intense (amazing) and again, it does not contain cocoa powder.

 

Guessing it's because of the added fat content of the chocolate.  You could also try chocolate flavoring.  I use cocoa powder in my non-dairy ice cream (haven't tried a sorbet) and it's not gritty - again I am guessing due to the higher fat content of the rest of the ingredients.  Another trick to intensify the chocolate flavor is to also add some espresso powder.
