Basket of 24 Fine de Claire Oysters No. 3 (Label Rouge & IGP) 🦪
Iodine, hazelnut, and excellence.
Forget milky or overly salty oysters. With this basket of 24 Label Rouge Fines de Claire oysters, you're offering your guests the aristocracy of Marennes Oléron. Size #3 is the perfect balance: plump without being cloying.
🥇 Why choose this Label Rouge?
It's not just a label, it's a guarantee of taste. Unlike a standard oyster, the Fine de Claire IGP Marennes Oléron has spent at least 28 days in claires (clay ponds).
- ✅ Perfect shell: Regular and domed shape.
- ✅ Refined taste: A marine flavor balanced by the sweetness of the terroir (taste of terroir).
- ✅ Fine flesh: A delicate texture, rich in water, never mealy.
🚚 Just-in-time freshness
We do not store oysters. They come out of the water on the weekend, arrive at our place on Monday morning and are delivered to your home on Tuesday or Wednesday . It's impossible to get cooler without going to the sea.
🍷 The Perfect Match (Lou's Tip)
To best complement this Fine de Claire, avoid overly acidic wines. Opt for a crisp Entre-deux-Mers or, to keep it local, a chilled Gris de Toul .
Serving suggestion: Rye bread, semi-salted butter and a simple turn of the pepper mill (avoid drowning the oyster in vinegar!).
