Dubernet Duck Foie Gras Mi-Cuit Duo

Tasting Notes from the Curator

The Dubernet Duck Foie Gras Mi-Cuit Duo, a sublime creation by Maison Dubernet, emerges from South-West France’s pastoral landscape, a region steeped in the art of foie gras. Encountering it, one is greeted by the nose with deep, savory undertones of well-nurtured duck liver, caressed by the subtle bouquet from recounted generations of spice and herbs in the Maison’s secret seasoning. On the palate, this delicacy unfolds in layers: an initial rich, buttery note transitions to a mellow, savory umami and gentle sweetness—a complexity and balance that speak of the attentive hand-ladling of foie gras and the deliberate Mi-Cuit process, which translates to ‘half-cooked’, safeguarding the delicate textures. The texture is a triumph, the luxurious smoothness and creaminess engage without overwhelming, while the precise consistency celebrates the skill of precise temperature control—it melts, quite simply, like the finest of chocolates. The finish is lingering, a gastronomic soliloquy that tells of terrains generous with their produce and artisans who will settle for nothing less than majestic.
