Ostra Regal in Bordeaux
Bordeaux is a major gastronomic hub and an oyster region. Ostra Regal does not come to compete with the neighbouring basin but to offer another experience: the clean iodine of our Irish beds, strong tides and a pousse-en-conche method yielding singular flesh and minerality.
Ostra Regal is the Boutrais family's premium selection: a triploid cupped oyster farmed for up to four years in Ireland (Dundrum Bay, Bannow Bay), including a low-density pousse-en-conche phase, then purified, graded and shipped from Cancale. Plump flesh, clean iodine, a sweet-briny balance that makes it a recognisable signature — in Bordeaux as anywhere else.

Pairings: oysters & wine in Bordeaux
The local obvious choice: a dry white Bordeaux — Entre-deux-Mers, Graves, or a white Pessac-Léognan for fine tables. The liveliness of Sauvignon underlines the iodine without covering it.
Serve the oysters well chilled on ice, plain or with a squeeze of lemon. To go further, our article on wine and oyster pairings: www.ostraregal.com/journal/accords-vins-huitres
