Holiday Date Box

Tasting Notes of the Curator

The 2 pcs of Black Baltic Tenderloin by Metzger are the star of this elegant box, delivering an exceptional steak experience. This cut of beef is richly marbled, ensuring a tender, juicy bite with layers of robust flavor. Its buttery texture and depth of umami create a steak that is both indulgent and refined. Paired with Échiré Butter AOP, a gold-standard French butter with a creamy, nutty profile, the tenderloin achieves a new level of decadence. The Albert Ménès Tarragon Strong Mustard adds a bright herbaceous kick, enhancing the steak’s natural richness with its bold, aromatic complexity. Chateau La Gamaye Cuvée Prestige, an organic red wine, completes the pairing, offering lush notes of black cherry, cassis, and a whisper of spice. Together, these elements create a luxurious symphony of flavors, perfect for a celebratory holiday dinner.

• Elegant Main Course: Sear the tenderloin to medium-rare and top with a pat of Échiré Butter for a simple yet exquisite presentation.
• Festive Accents: Serve alongside roasted potatoes, glazed carrots, and a dollop of tarragon mustard for a balanced, festive plate.
• Wine Pairing: Enjoy the Chateau La Gamaye with the tenderloin to complement the steak’s richness with the wine’s fruity and earthy tones.
• Finish with Sweetness: Follow the meal with dark chocolate truffles or a spiced fruit tart to echo the wine’s complexity.
