The wine comes from south-facing vineyards planted on clay and limestone hills overlooking the Etang de Thau, a coastal lagoon situated between the port of Sète and Cap d'Agde.
Pale straw color. Delicate white flower, citrus and juicy pear aromas. Fresh, crisp, and bright acidity with mineral and saline accents. Well-balanced and easy-drinking.
Picpoul Le Jade makes a classic match with oysters on the half shell and goes very well with exotic food in general. Picpoul means lip-smacking good.
"THE ONLY WINE YOU SHOULD BE DRINKING WITH SEAFOOD IS PICPOUL DE PINET
One of the best white summer quaffers in the world of wine costs $10 and is probably sitting lonely on the bottom shelf in the French section of your local wine shop, tall, slender and green, filled with thirst-quenching awesomeness waiting to be snatched up and guzzled down. That wine is Picpoul de Pinet and it’s time to get acquainted with this playful Mediterranean."

"Light scents of yellow melon, apple and firm pear flesh form the nose of this attractive white. The light and breezy palate offers more of the same, framed by bright acidity and a kiss of sea spray on the close. Drink now. - LAUREN BUZZEO"

"The 2017 Le Jade Picpoul de Pinet offers slightly more oomph, with exotic lemon, citrus, and melon notes. It's clean, vibrant, has racy acidity, and a clean, crisp finish. It's another terrific white that sells for a song. Drink it over the coming summer months."

"Made from 100% Picpoul, the 2012 Picpoul de Pinet comes across like a classic Muscadet from the northern Loire Valley. Lots of crushed rock, grapefruit and lemon zest characteristics, in addition to more texture and flesh than one expects from this varietal, are found in this lovely, medium-weight, dry white. It is best consumed over the next year."
