A crystal that looks like snow, born of a wind no one can predict. The South Wind Fleur de Sel is the rarest of the Binet 1660 wind cuvées, harvested in the salt marshes of Batz-sur-Mer only under southerly winds, a fleeting condition that yields a uniquely fine, powdery crystal. Delicate yet penetrating, it is an exceptional finishing salt. Let it fall over oysters, a carpaccio, or fresh strawberries.
