One case, three of France’s finest. The Trio de Claire lines up 48 oysters across the full spectrum of Marennes-Oléron, France’s most celebrated oyster basin: light, fleshy and full, so every guest finds a favourite and the table has something to compare.
What to Expect
Fine de Claire N°3 × 16: the elegant opener; light, water-rich and balanced, with clean salinity and a refined mineral finish. Spéciale de Claire N°4 × 16: the crowd-pleaser; generous meat, firm bite, sweet-forward with a long terroir finish. Super de Claire N°4 × 16: the showstopper; our premium selection, with the fullest meat, deepest cup and most concentrated goût de terroir. Only available in the Trio.

Serving Ideas
On the half shell over ice with lemon or mignonette, with grower Champagne, Chablis or Muscadet alongside. Taste the three side by side. Choose shucked and your raw bar arrives ready to serve.
