It matches Rémy Martin Tercet’s richness which comes from the distillation on the lees.
APRICOT SORBET
When enjoyed with Rémy Martin Tercet, the texture of the sorbet helps reveal notes of almonds, caramelized apples and the smell of warm butter after baking financiers or madeleines.
WHITE CHOCOLATE GANACHE
Tercet cuts through the dense, rich, whipped ganache and reveals the jasmine notes. They echo the notes of white flowers left behind in an empty glass of Tercet.
THE BERGERON APRICOT TRIO WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE GANACHE
POACHED BERGERON APRICOT INFUSED IN A LIGHT ROSEMARY AND VANILLA SYRUP
INGREDIENTS
WATER – 1000 grams
SUPERFINE SUGAR – 200 grams
TAHITIAN VANILLA – ¼ pod
FRESH ROSEMARY – 1 small sprig
BERGERON APRICOT – 600 grams halved and stoned
LEMON – To taste
METHOD
1. Combine the sugar and water into a saucepan that is large enough to hold all the fruit in a single layer. Heat gently, stirring to help the sugar dissolve. Slit the vanilla pod along its length and scrape the seeds into the pan along with the pod. Simmer for a minute, add the rosemary, then remove from the heat to infuse for 30 minutes.
2. Heat the syrup again, add the apricots and poach gently until just tender. This could take anything from 3–10 minutes, it all depends on the ripeness of the fruit.
3. Be ready to take them out as they become tender; some always cook more quickly than others.
4. Lay them in a single layer in a broad, flat container.
5. Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve, bring back on the heat and boil until it has reduced to about 400 grams. Taste to balance until the sweetness is balanced with the acidity. If needed, refresh with a touch of lemon juice. Pour the syrup over the poached apricot, just enough to cover and set aside to cool overnight in the cooler.
