Œuf Poché en Meurette, Foie gras de canard du Périgord, truffes d'été

Chef’s recipe: Poached egg en Meurette, Périgord duck foie gras, baby sprouts, goat’s milk curd and summer truffles

Christophe Maury, chef of the gastronomic Le Bouilhac Restaurant located in Dordogne not far from Lascaux, exalts summer truffles in a poached egg en Meurette (red wine sauce) foie gras and truffle recipe: what better way to wow your guests!

White truffle star of summertime tables

The white summer truffle (Tuber Aestivum) is harvested from April-May to end August. Not to be mixed up with its friend the black truffle (Périgord truffle - Tuber Melanosporum). The white truffle is only visible during the summer season and cannot stand cooking. It is eaten raw and grated exclusively.
Today, it has become a highly-desirable product for its mild taste and finesse on the palate, yet was ignored for ever-so long and used solely for training truffle dogs and for feeding pigs.
Chef Christophe Maury from Le Bouilhac Restaurant invites you to discover a recipe centre-staging summer truffles served with poached egg en Meurette (red wine sauce), duck foie gras and goat’s milk curd from the region.

Notre-Dame-de-la-Nativité Church

The Church of Notre-Dame-de-la-Nativité was built in the 12th century. This Romanesque monument has been considerably altered over the years, so that only the foundations are original today.
The walls, for example, were raised shortly after the Hundred Years' War to allow for the construction of refuge rooms in the attic. The Romanesque facade, on the other hand, was reworked during the Gothic period.

The use of grison, a local grey stone that is very common in this part of the Charente, limited the sculpted decoration to its strictest expression, as this stone is unsuitable for sculpture. On the other hand, the church has a painted fresco, rediscovered in the sanctuary during restoration work.

Like all medieval churches, Notre-Dame de Brossac was once surrounded by a cemetery, which was abandoned in 1843. On the outside, in the north wall of the nave, two funerary vaults remain, intended to house the burial of high-ranking.
