Maison Aux Mille Truffes

Discovering the Truffle Universe

La Maison Aux Mille Truffes sits peacefully amid vineyards and fields in Marey-lès-Fussey, serving as the starting point for Côte d'Or's Route de la Truffe. This labeled 'Expérience Remarquable' invites visitors into the secretive world of the Burgundy truffle, from its underground habitat to the plate. Surrounded by rolling hills, the estate's shaded park provides an idyllic backdrop for immersive encounters with this precious fungus.

Truffle Hunting Demonstration

The experience begins with Nicolas and his skilled dog Taïga leading a cavage demonstration in the on-site truffière. Guests witness the traditional art of truffle hunting, learning to identify the earthy aroma and subtle signs that reveal these hidden gems. This hands-on introduction bridges nature and cuisine, highlighting the seasonal availability of Tuber melanosporum and its summer cousin.

Gastronomic Indulgence

Transitioning to the restaurant, lunches unfold as a symphony of truffle-infused dishes. Menus feature choices like truffled omelettes, pâtés, rillettes, parsley ham, and desserts such as truffle ice cream profiteroles. Aperitifs include Ratatruffe liqueur and truffled tapenades. Chefs Jean and Alexis prepare everything on-site, ensuring freshness and creativity that awakens the palate to the truffle's delicate nuances. Cold lunch options run around 51€, hot menus 61€, including the demonstration.
