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.
Le Jade Chardonnay offers a wonderful yellow color, a complex nose of white flowers, green apples, mild tobacco, and vanilla. Rich and full-bodied mouthfeel, concentrated with a fresh fragrant finish.
Serve with a gratin of scallops, pan-fried sole, or grilled oysters with shallots, parsley and a touch of cream. Also great with goat cheese or chocolate cake!
"From the Les Costières de Pomerols cooperative, this is silky in texture and well upholstered with oak flavor, but fruit wins out in the end, clean, lemony and spicy."

"The 2017 Le Jade Chardonnay is another good value. Orchard fruits, some melon, and pineapple notes all flow to a fresh, clean, nicely balanced Chardonnay that's well worth the price."

"Medium-intense notes of golden apple skin, lime peel and wild yellow flowers are graced by a hint of gingery spice. The medium-weight palate is slightly round and creamy, but not overly so, with a generous wood-grilled-apple flavor that lingers on the toasty finish. - Lauren Buzzeo"

"Gold color. Rich aromas and flavors of golden apple, ripe pear, butter, and mineral with a bright, dry medium-to-full body and a seamless, complex, medium-length finish with notes of white pineapple, honeydew, and toasted sesame with no tannins and light oak. Juicy white pineapple, pear and apple are given a generous, but deftly balanced treatment of fine grained French oak."
