Martin Pouret Wild Garlic Mayonnaise

Tasting Notes of the Curator

This mayonnaise opens with a fresh, green aroma—wild garlic leading with a softer, more vegetal character than cultivated garlic. On the palate, the texture is smooth and cohesive, rich without heaviness. Wild garlic unfolds gradually, bringing savory depth and a mild pungency that feels clean rather than sharp. Orléans mustard provides subtle structure and lift, keeping the emulsion bright and balanced. Acidity is restrained and well-integrated, allowing the herbal notes to linger without overwhelming the base. The finish is savory, fresh, and quietly persistent. This is a mayonnaise that adds character without aggression—green, fragrant, and composed.

Perfect with roast chicken, grilled pork, or lamb.

Pair with new potatoes, fries, or roasted vegetables.

Serve alongside seafood, especially white fish or prawns.

Use in sandwiches or wraps for savory herbal lift.

Wild Garlic, Used with Restraint

Wild garlic (ail des ours) is prized for its freshness and gentler aroma, offering garlic character without harshness. Martin-Pouret treats it as an accent rather than a headline, integrating it carefully into a classic mayonnaise base enriched with Orléans mustard. The result reflects the house philosophy: seasonality, balance, and usability above all else. Familiar, yet distinctly alive—this is a sauce that brings the feeling of spring to the table.
