Wild Burgundy Snails, a timeless French delicacy, are finally available to gourmets in the United States. The preeminent purveyor in Burgundy, Henri Maire, has been satisfying the most discriminating palettes in France since 1938. In three-star Michelin-rated restaurants like Paris' Taillevent (#1 dining destination in the World, 2001 Zagat's survey), Chez Lasserre, or La Grande Cascade, and in nearly 400 of America’s top dining rooms, these snails grace the finest tables. Similarly, retail consumers who pride themselves on using impeccable products, serve only the best in their homes.

As with all gastronomic delicacies, escargots exhibit varying levels of quality. Henri Maire's snails have maintained an unwavering reputation for incomparable products amid the demands of the culinary capital of the world. The formula is quite simple, frankly. They begin with purely Wild Burgundy Snails (Hélix Pomatia Linne), delivered live. These savory delights are then hand-sorted by size, washed, and cooked in an aromatic bouillon according to the same ancestral standards used in 1938. Finally, all according to the strictest hygienic standards (HAACP Certified), the escargots are conserved for sale.
