I chose a 2005 Sauternes (Château du Grand Carretey) to accompany it, hesitating over a Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh, a sweet white wine made in the shadows of the Pyrenees, and a 1997 Monbazillac, also from the southwest of France. The next time, I think that I'll cook the "foie gras" for the same amount of time--30 minutes, but I'll reduce the oven temperature by 10° C. To my taste, it was a little overcooked. We'll see in January, as that's when "foie" are next available. Our “foie gras,” eaten on “pain seigle” (rye bread) on Christmas eve, was delicious.
