Oyster beds at low tide — Ostra Regal

Ostra Regal · Boutrais Family Selection

Oysters in Bordeaux — Ostra Regal, the exceptional oyster

In Bordeaux, oyster country, Ostra Regal brings an exceptional alternative: pousse-en-conche and claire refining, an iodine profile distinct from Arcachon.

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 cupped oyster farmed for four years on the beds of Ireland (Dundrum Bay, Bannow Bay), including a low-density pousse-en-conche phase, refined in claires, then purified and shipped from Cancale. Plump flesh, clean iodine, a sweet-briny balance that makes it a recognisable signature on the finest tables of Bordeaux.
