A rendez-vous in the Aube region, L'empreinte des fées welcomes you to the Dumont family's Mondeville- Champagne estate. Delphine prepares you for a new expedition: harvesting Champagne truffles. For one morning, you'll explore the mysterious ancient forests of the Cistercian Abbey of Clairvaux in search of this fabulous black mushroom.
The truffle grower and her faithful companion will guide you in the discovery of the Champagne truffle, a fascinating and capricious mushroom. This underground fairy flirts with an oak, hornbeam or hazelnut tree... in the heart of the fairytale forest of Clairvaux.
Champagne truffles can only be found with the help of a truffle dog. Here you'll be accompanied by Pino's efficient flair. Delphine's years of truffle experience will also be an invaluable asset in your quest. Biologist and creator of L'empreinte des fées, she shares her passion for this jewel of the woods through organized truffle hunting. You have the best allies to unearth the black diamonds of Champagne.
At the end of the morning, it's time to take stock: how many uncinatum have you unearthed and how many other varieties have you picked up? How many you find depends on your luck and patience during the digging.
Unearthing a Champagne truffle is a unique and gourmet experience! The outing ends in style with a tasting of champagne from the estate and a few truffles.
