Clean the duck liver by removing any connective tissue and veins. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

Prepare the Duck Liver

In a skillet over medium heat, melt 50 grams of unsalted butter. Add the finely chopped shallots and minced garlic, and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Sauté Shallots and Garlic

Add the cleaned duck liver to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned but still slightly pink in the center.

Cook the Duck Liver

Carefully add the cognac or brandy to the skillet and allow it to flambé (if desired) or simmer for 1-2 minutes to burn off the alcohol.

Deglaze with Cognac

Transfer the liver mixture to a food processor. Add the remaining unsalted butter, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Begin by harvesting the Syrah grapes at their peak ripeness, typically in late summer to early autumn.

Harvesting

Sort the harvested grapes to remove any damaged or unripe fruit.

Sorting

Crush the sorted grapes to release the juice and pulp, placing them into fermentation tanks.

Crushing

Add the yeast to the crushed grapes and allow fermentation to occur over a period of 7-14 days at a controlled temperature.

Fermentation

After fermentation, press the mixture to separate the wine from the skins and solids.

Pressing

Transfer the wine into barrels for aging, typically for 12-18 months, allowing it to develop complex flavors.

Aging

Once aged, filter and bottle the wine, adding sulfur dioxide for preservation.

Bottling
