TASTE DESCRIPTION

The subtle flavor of tuna combined with the flavour of foie gras complements the peppery bitterness of the arugula, and the tart fruitiness of the Tavel sauce creates contrast.

The soft, melting mouth feel of the tuna is accentuated by the foie gras and fingerling potatoes, and finally stopped by the crunchiness of the arugula.

 

 

A superb pairing with the 2008 Tavel Domaine de la Mordorée
