Fine de Claire
The entry-level claire-finished oyster from Marennes-Oléron — one month minimum in the pond, 20 oysters per m², and a defined reduction in open-sea intensity in exchange for a cleaner, more polished profile.
Pousse en Claire
Four months in the pond, five oysters per square metre — Marennes-Oléron's maximum-expression claire grade. Sweet, fat, and unhurried: the closest thing the French Pacific world has to a luxury format that earns its price on flavor rather than branding alone.
Spéciale de Claire
Two months at half the density of Fine de Claire — the grade where Marennes-Oléron affinage stops being a polish and becomes a genuine transformation of flavor and texture.
