A south-western gourmet basket direct from the Gers, filled with products from small, authentic producers from this region, which will take you on a voyage of discovery of this generous Gascony gastronomy, with some very fine gourmet discoveries..
Winemakers : Domaine de Mastric Bio, Laurence & Jérôme Guichanné, Family vineyard
Domaine de Mastric is located in Le Houga, a small village in the western part of the Gers department, in the Bas-Armagnac region, and in the Côtes de Gascogne appellation. The estate dates back to 1753, and has been handed down from father to son. Today, it is run by Jérôme and Laurence under organic farming methods since 2010, with the added bonus of High Environmental Value certification since 2014.
Several emblematic grape varieties of the South-West are planted in this vineyard (Merlot, Tannat, Syrah, Cabernet franc, Gros manseng, Petit manseng, Sauvignon, Colombard) which reveal their typicality thanks to the temperate oceanic climate of the region, the "boulbène" soils and the virtuous practices of our winemaker in the vineyard and in the cellar.
Here, the "Gros-manseng" and "Sauvignon" grape varieties harmonize in a complexity of fruity aromas, lemon, grapefruit, nuanced by notes of peach and apricot, enhanced by a pale gold color with green highlights. As soon as you smell this dry white wine, you understand its originality and richness. The aromatic power of this wine extends its thirst-quenching freshness with a long, delicious finish.
As an aperitif to accompany the tasting of your Gers gourmet box, or with shellfish and fish, poultry and cheese, you're sure to enjoy this wonderful discovery.
Tasting temperature: 10 to 12°C.
Artisan : Les Petites Manies, Julien Blavy, Biscuiterie artisanale Bio.
To start your tasting of your Gers Gourmet basket, here's a little savory cookie ideal for your aperitifs. It's handcrafted by our artisan according to a traditional recipe using local organic Gers flours and cheeses.
Crunchy and full of flavor, it's the perfect appetizer from the Gers!
Éleveur-Artisan: Maison Ramajo, Miraine, Pierre-Marie & Sébastien Soubiran, Conserverie artisanale.
While part of the family raises geese and ducks in accordance with the IGP Gers specifications (they all have access to open-air runs with grassy areas during the rearing period), the rest of the family concocts foie-gras and other delicacies in their workshop directly on the farm.
Enjoy their delicious duck rillettes with a good piece of foie-gras for an aperitif.
Spread your duck rillettes generously on fresh bread or toast for your aperitifs or snacks, and enjoy them chilled to bring out the full flavours of the foie-gras: a real treat!
Éleveur-Artisan: Maison Ramajo, Miraine, Pierre-Marie & Sébastien Soubiran, Conserverie artisanale.
Duck breast is often eaten on its own or dried in salads, but for us, this artisanal recipe was a real favorite.
The Forestière sauce, made with 20% forest mushrooms concocted by our artisan, is perfect for developing complementary flavors that enhance the taste of the duck breast raised by our artisan while preserving its creaminess: a real treat!
Artisan : Glosek, Michel Glosek, Conserverie familiale.
This verrine, with its evocative name, will delight even the most demanding gourmets with its six little babas poached in Armagnac syrup. A must-have specialty from the South-West, created by a fantastic craftsman to be enjoyed fresh from the jar with a teaspoon, or happily accompanied by vanilla cream.
Soft and fragrant, generously filled with syrup and meltingly soft ... in short, a moment of pure pleasure, a little masterpiece of good taste.
Artisan : La Ferme du Rigoulet Bio, Sarah Loudet and Arnaud Chabirand, Miellerie et confiturerie.
Watermelon jam has always graced Gascon breakfasts. Our craftsman grows his watermelons organically in the heart of the Gers.
Harvested when ripe, the watermelons are then painstakingly deseeded by hand. Cooking is carried out over an open fire, following a family tradition that they are the 3rd generation of jam-makers to perpetuate.
Sarah and Arnaud produce a jam with delicately candied pieces bathed in a creamy pulp, accompanied by fruit and spices: you'll be telling us all about it!
Artisan: Chocolaterie Bio de la Scop Ethiquable Fleurance Gers, a cooperative, socially responsible enterprise.
Good practices for good chocolate... Our Gers artisan combines fair-trade and organic milk from France with chocolate made from rare fair-trade Peruvian cocoa. The result is a delicious chocolate where the crunchiness of nougatine and hazelnut chips (chocolate's quintessential dried fruit, whose flavors enhance the fragrance of cocoa) surprise the creaminess of milk chocolate.
A touch of chocolate at the end of your Gers box can never hurt!

Every month, we have our new gourmet boxes tested by independent testers (we don't pay them! We just send them one of our boxes), specialized in the world of gourmet boxes, to get external opinions (we'd obviously give them 10/10 every time...) and publicize our latest gourmet baskets, because we're proud of them, and we have to play the criticism game...
The unanimous test results for our gascony gourmet box from the Gers region on the Laboxdumois website: not bad!
