Carnivore's Feast Box

Tasting Notes of the Curator

The Black Baltic Sirloin by Metzger is a masterpiece of fine butchery, boasting a perfect balance of marbling and deep, beefy flavor. Aged to perfection, this cut offers a firm yet tender bite with a rich, umami-packed finish. When paired with a dollop of Échiré Butter AOP, the sirloin becomes a velvety indulgence, with the butter’s creamy, nutty profile elevating every bite. Dubernet Duck Rillettes with Foie Gras is an unparalleled indulgence, combining the silky texture of duck confit with the luxurious depth of foie gras, offering a melt-in-your-mouth sensation that is as festive as it is decadent. The pairing is completed by Chateau La Gamaye Cuvée Prestige, an organic red wine that delivers a full-bodied complexity with notes of ripe plum, blackberry, and a subtle spice, perfectly complementing the sirloin’s robust flavor and the rillettes’ richness.

Pairings and Suggestions

• Main Course Excellence: Grill or pan-sear the sirloin to medium-rare, finishing with a pat of Échiré Butter for a luscious topping.
• Elegant Starters: Serve the duck rillettes on toasted brioche or artisan crackers with a touch of fig jam for a sophisticated appetizer.
• Wine Pairing: Enjoy the Chateau La Gamaye with the sirloin to accentuate the beef’s depth and balance the rillettes’ richness.
• Holiday Sides: Pair with creamy dauphinoise potatoes, roasted brussels sprouts, and a hint of cranberry sauce for festive flair.
