Spéciale de Claire N°4 from the Marennes-Oléron basin on France’s Atlantic coast, the world’s most renowned oyster-refining region. Each oyster is hand-selected before refining for its regular shape, roundness and deep cup, then finished for a minimum of 28 days in the claires, which build shell strength and layer a signature goût de terroir over its sea-fresh flavour.
What to Expect
The choice for lovers of fleshy oysters: generous meat, a deep shell and real volume in the mouth. Firm in texture, with a predominant sweetness that softens the salinity and a refined terroir finish that lingers.

Serving Ideas
Superb raw on the half shell over ice, with lemon or mignonette; the fuller meat also stands up beautifully to a light grill or bake. Pair with grower Champagne, white Burgundy or a crisp Sancerre.
