Mont d’or fondue and Lafayette beef tenderloin
Attention cheese and meat lovers. This dean of French cuisine in Madrid, serves (according to the season) his Mont d’or fonduea highly appreciated Alpine cheese that is matured in spruce boxes. It is accompanied with 85 grams of matured beef tenderloin, cured at home, and Ratte potatoes, a variety famous for its peculiar shape and flavor. In the words of Sèbastien Leparoux, head chef and founder of Lafayette, “it is a perfect dish for cheese lovers. We trust La Fromagerie des Monts de Joux, a dairy cooperative located in Bannans (Haut-Doubs) that brings together almost three hundred producers, who make their cheeses with great care in the area, one of the regions of the Jura massif. The waiter recommends two wines as a pairing: “One from Jura, a 2020 Savagnin from the Baud winery, or a 2013 Riesling Lieu dit from Alsace, from the excellent Schieferkopf house.” Ideal to share as a main dish or starter.
