RENCONTRE
“RENCONTRE” is the result of days of reflection to complement the Seared Scallop. The Fine Calvados (aged 2 to 3 years) is chosen for its fruity characteristics and notes of fresh apples, paired with Pommeau de Normandie for a balanced roundness. Eco-responsibility guides the choice of French verjus as a substitute for lime.
Respecting seasonality, fennel is used in the homemade Shrub, offering vegetal notes. In a zero-waste approach, solid components of the Shrub create a decorative tile. Foam with lemon verbena adds lightness and freshness, evoking sea foam. The CalvaClub facilitated enriching encounters, notably with the apprentices from the CFA in Mont de Marsan and Johanna Meyer, the ceramist who crafted the cocktail glasses.
