Joël Mauvigney
Delicatessen owner and caterer in Mérignac Capeyron near Bordeaux
Since being awarded the title of Meilleur Ouvrier de France (MOF) Charcutier in the class of 1986,
Joël Mauvigney has placed his talents not only at the service of his customers but also at the service of his colleagues, not least young, up-and-coming chefs in need of a guiding hand.
As such, he presides over several bodies :
• Chairman of Charcutiers-Traiteurs de Gironde, part of the French General Food Retailers’
Confederation (CGAD).
• Chairman of the Métiers de Bouche catering association in Bordeaux.
• Deputy Chairman of MOF Charcutiers.
“I’ve willingly accepted all these posts of responsibility because I’m a staunch upholder of our values. I’m
determined to fight for craft industries in general and my enterprise in particular, and as I’m involved in
the practical side of the business every single day, I’m well-placed to talk about our day-to-day problems.
Whenever I travel, I meet professionals who need to communicate, and even abroad, there’s a very real
desire to exchange ideas and techniques. It’s young people above all who want to open up the frontiers.”
Joël Mauvigney is a spokesman for his
trade and has first-hand knowledge of
every aspect of it - both good and not so
good. It is this experience that he has set
out to share by playing such an active role
amidst his colleagues. And for a Meilleur
Ouvrier de France, commitment and sharing
come as second nature.
Naturally, in his own business, Joël
Mauvigney shows total commitment. In
1985, when he took over the delicatessen
business from his father, he put into practice
what he had learnt from Marcel Souchard,
Meilleur Ouvrier de France Charcutier,
namely the catering aspect of the trade.
“Ours is a high-class catering business
which offers an à la carte service, along
with set menus and standard buffets. We
place the emphasis on creativity, all the
while using local ingredients”, he stresses.
A quality caterer, company boss, and
association chairman several times over,
Joël Mauvigney nevertheless still finds
time to carry out demonstrations for
Robot-Coupe throughout the world. “It’s a
role that gives me tremendous pleasure
and which also enables me to meet people
from many different backgrounds who are
always keen to talk about the trade.”
We may not be able to explain this
degree of commitment, but we can
certainly applaud it.

Sauce Blend the unpeeled green grapes using the Robot-Coupe CMP 250 V.V. stick blender, then
pass through the Robot-Coupe C80 automatic sieve to obtain a juice without any skin or pips. Reduce
by half and set aside.
In a sauté pan, soften the carrot and onion brunoise, add 2 tablespoons of chestnut honey, deglaze
with the grape juice reduction and add the mallard stock. Simmer for about 20 minutes, strain through
a conical sieve, season and whisk in the butter.
Cooking Season the mallard carcasses, brown them in a sauté pan with oil and butter over a high heat,
coat the skin lightly with honey and scatter with crushed Sichuan pepper. Finish the cooking under the
salamander. Remove the supremes and slice them.
Finishing touches and presentation On each plate, arrange slices of mallard supreme, then add
3 broad bean purée quenelles and pour around the sauce. Place a few grapes warmed up in the sauce
in each potato wafer basket.
Decorate each plate with a bunch of redcurrants.
NB In this recipe, the grapes are blended in order to extract as much bitterness as possible from the pips.
