Dubernet Duck Foie Gras Mi-Cuit Duo with Truffles

Tasting Notes from the Curator

Embark upon a sensory journey through the essence of Maison Dubernet’s Duck Foie Gras Mi-Cuit Duo with Truffles. The rich, buttery essence of the foie gras lays the foundation of this gourmet masterpiece. It carries a symphony of sweet undertones, derived from the natural sugars present in the duck liver. As the journey unfolds, the truffles enter – a treasure of the land, the black diamonds named Tuber Melanosporum introduce an intricate layer of earthy, nutty allure, raising the complexity of the flavor profile. Seasoned with a judicious whisper of salt and pepper, the seasoning amplifies the natural flavors before retreating gently into the backdrop. On the palette, the texture announces itself with a bold stroke of creaminess, the product of the mi-cuit method - a gentle cooking process that preserves the high-fat content and ensures a sublime, velvety mouthfeel. The consistency is flawless; the inclusion of truffle slices creates a sensory contrast, lending depth and intrigue with each bite. The initial taste is an immersion into creamy opulence that unfolds into a harmonious blend of the savory liver and the truffles’ nuanced complexity. And then it lingers, a satisfying savoriness entwined with the unmistakable earthiness of truffles that very gently diminishes, yet never quite leaves you.
