A \"millésime\" at the beginning of its journey – already delicate, and becoming rounder with every year of cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage sardines\u003c\/strong\u003e bear the year of their catch on the tin – sardines from a single season, fished off the Breton coast and processed into a limited edition at the Conserverie Gonidec. The 2024 vintage arrives on the shelf young and clear, caught at the end of the season when the sardine is at its most plump. A small treasure to enjoy immediately or put away. You will find the year on the tin – a fine tradition at Les Mouettes d'Arvor since 1996.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYoung, clear, with a bite\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFresh from the tin, the 2024 vintage tastes bright and clearly of the sea, with firm flesh and a clean, salty finish. The olive oil sits lightly on top, carrying the flavor without masking it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt still carries the freshness of youth; the extra virgin olive oil has only just begun to embrace it. The longer you let it sit, the softer and deeper it becomes – those who wish can try the same sardine again in a year or two and taste the difference. A young vintage like this shows the sardine as it comes from the sea – clear, straightforward, without frills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFresh on a baguette, with a glass of white wine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe young vintage is best enjoyed simply – on a crusty baguette, with a squeeze of lemon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cool, dry white wine like a Sancerre keeps its freshness awake, accompanied by radishes, young onions, and coarse pepper. It works wonderfully in a Salade Niçoise, and on toasted bread with sea salt, it is excellent. Even cold from the tin, with fleur de sel and a drop of lemon oil, it makes for a fine start to a meal.

Since 1996, the house has treated every catch as a distinct vintage – an idea otherwise more commonly known from wine. As soon as the catch arrives at the harbor, a bath of ice water firms up the flesh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fish comes fresh from the port, is cleaned by hand, fried in olive oil, and packed tin by tin – around forty pairs of hands are involved. Back in 1990, the sardines in olive oil were awarded the Gault \u0026amp; Millau prize, and Gonidec remains the last cannery in Concarneau today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLes Mouettes d'Arvor owes its name to the football team of Jacques II; the tins depict scenes from the life of Breton fishermen. Little works of art that one almost finds too beautiful to open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe beginning of your own vintage collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can enjoy the fresh vintage immediately – or put it away and start your own small vintage collection. Stored in a cool, dark place, the 2024 will soften from year to year; turn the tin occasionally so that the olive oil surrounds the fish completely. Chill briefly before serving, then open at room temperature.
