The Gourmet Trellis

What The Gourmet Trellis does

Les Treilles Gourmandes is a family-owned French artisanal gourmet food producer operating under the legal entity LTG S.A.S., headquartered in a 19th-century farmhouse at Le Lion d'Angers in the Anjou region of France. Founded in 1986 by Jacques Boucher as a home-based terrine operation for friends and now led by his son Antoine Boucher, the company manufactures and sells raw foie gras, roasted duck breast (magret), confits, terrines, prepared dishes, and curated gift boxes (coffrets gourmands) named after historical Anjou personalities. Production is carried out entirely in-house at the Le Lion d'Angers workshop, with a stated headcount of 35 employees and disclosed annual revenue of €6 million.

The company's core technical differentiator is a proprietary flexible-pouch preservation process (sachet conserve souple) that combines vacuum-cooking quality with 2-3 year ambient shelf life, enabling ambient-temperature distribution while maintaining sterility comparable to traditional glass jars. The product portfolio spans whole duck foie gras (entier), foie gras blocks, magrets and rôtis, confits (legs and manchons), terrines and rillettes of duck, venison, boar, pheasant, and rabbit, plus ready-made dishes such as effiloché de canard forestier and civet de canard. Products are manufactured in-house, with some flavor variants co-developed with regional partners (e.g., Cointreau, Coteaux du Layon, Saumur AOC wines).

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market across four channels: direct e-commerce via a WooCommerce storefront (delivering across metropolitan France and Corsica, with international shipping to 15 Europe Zone 1 countries at €15), an on-site physical boutique at the manufacturing site, a five-day weekly regional market rotation, and direct B2B supply to restaurant and catering professionals. Pricing is unit-based, ranging from €3.30 terrines to €75 premium gift boxes and €30-€80 gift cards, with cold-chain delivery (Chronofresh) for fresh products and free standard delivery above €70 (non-fresh) or €180 (fresh). The company is entirely family-owned with no external investors, no listed ticker, and a €400,000 share capital (capital social). In January 2026, the company discontinued a secondary online activity, 'Le Bon Bag', citing EU regulatory administrative burden as economically unviable for a small PME, while continuing its primary operations.
