Martin Pouret Mayonnaise with Orléans Mustard & Tarragon

Tasting Notes of the Curator

This mayonnaise opens with a fresh, herbaceous aroma where tarragon leads gently—green, lightly aniseed, and unmistakably French. The texture is supple and cohesive, rich without heaviness. Orléans mustard provides quiet structure and lift, keeping the emulsion bright and composed rather than flat. Tarragon unfolds gradually on the palate, bringing clarity and freshness rather than sharpness. Acidity is restrained and well-integrated, allowing the herbal notes to linger cleanly at the finish. The result is a mayonnaise that feels purposeful and elegant—creamy, aromatic, and balanced, with nothing excessive or cloying.

Pairings and Suggestions

This mayonnaise excels in classic and bistro-style dishes.

Serve with chicken, turkey, or roast meats, where tarragon naturally complements.

Pair with seafood, especially fish, prawns, or crab.

Use in sandwiches or wraps for herbal lift and creaminess.

Ideal for potato salad, egg salad, or cold vegetable dishes.

A natural companion to steak frites or grilled vegetables.

Tarragon, the French Signature

Tarragon is one of the defining herbs of French cuisine, prized for its ability to bridge richness and freshness. Martin-Pouret treats it with restraint, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into the mayonnaise rather than dominate it. Anchored by Orléans mustard—made with wine must rather than harsh vinegar—this sauce reflects the house philosophy: condiments should clarify and elevate, not compete. Familiar in spirit, refined in execution.
