Notes:
The Minute-smoked Marron was literally that, a wonderful cross between sashimi and cold-smoked marron. Since it was a cold dish, there was no possibility to incorporate the truffles by cooking, just the a la mode sprinkling of mushroom soil.
The Jerusalem artichoke and truffle galette, and the foie gras cigar accompanying the Seared Breast of Grimaud Duck saw the truffle flavours drawn out by the galette, the dish a magical match with the pinot noir.
The high point, however, was the braised ox tail wrapped in truffle alongside the Fillet of Wagyu.
The Goat’s Curd was more or less an excuse for more shaved truffle, the flavour enhanced by the curd.
