Maison Dubernet's Duck Foie Gras Mi-Cuit Terrine

Tasting Notes from the Curator

This mi-cuit terrine is a paragon of Dubernet’s Duck Foie Gras, expressing its terroir with whispers of toasted hazelnuts and the hallmark spice signature that only masters of this esoteric craft could conjure. It holds an exquisite balance of flavor—a luxurious butteriness laced with savory umami, sublimely offset by the gentle kiss of sweetness and the merest suggestion of salinity. The physical experience is as captivating as its flavor, with a creaminess that envelops and a sense of firmness that speaks to its impeccable preparation. Partake in a slice and find yourself transported, the velvety richness and unblemished consistency providing an indulgence that is both decadent and ephemeral.

Pairings & Suggestions

• Enjoy with crisp brioche or a warm baguette for a delightful contrast in textures.
• Sauternes or a full-bodied Chardonnay enhance the foie gras’s rich flavors.
• Pair with fig jam or onion confit, adding a hint of sweetness and complexity.
