Fresh oysters served on the half shell, accompanied by a classic mignonette sauce made with finely minced shallots, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and white pepper. The oysters are raw, offering a briny and umami-rich flavor, while the mignonette sauce provides a tangy and slightly sweet contrast. The dish showcases the natural texture and taste of the oysters.

Fresh oysters with mignonette sauce pair well with crisp, high-acid white wines like Chardonnay or sparkling wines. The raw, briny flavors of the oysters are complemented by the citrusy notes and bubbles in these wines, which cleanse the palate between each bite. The mignonette sauce adds a tangy, vinegary element that further enhances the pairing with these refreshing wine styles.
