Vignobles Jade

Vignobles Jade operates through Château Fleur de Lisse in Saint-Émilion, producing Bordeaux blends that emphasise structure, balance, and the expression of Right Bank terroir. If you're looking for Saint-Émilion with genuine depth and critical recognition—wines that reward careful cellaring without theatrical pricing—Vignobles Jade delivers consistency across both Grand Cru and village appellations.

About Vignobles Jade

Vignobles Jade's focus is Château Fleur de Lisse, where Bordeaux blend production centres on the classic Right Bank grape mix: Merlot as the core, supported by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The winemaking philosophy reflects a commitment to expressing terroir through careful vineyard selection and measured extraction. This is not about extraction for its own sake, but rather about capturing the mineral spine and complexity that Saint-Émilion's clay and limestone soils can provide. The wines show savoury, classic characteristics—the signature of Bordeaux made to age thoughtfully rather than impress immediately. Vignobles Jade's approach aligns with the broader Right Bank tradition of allowing the vineyard to speak first, with winemaking technique in service of that expression. The 2020 vintage, now in the market, demonstrates how the house interprets conditions across both Grand Cru and village-level terroir. Across the range, you'll find wines built on structure and balance: wines that work on the table today but also improve over the next 5–10 years as tannins integrate and secondary flavours emerge.

Vignobles Jade Wines in Our Collection

Our range showcases two key releases from Château Fleur de Lisse. The 2020 Saint-Émilion Grand Cru is the producer's flagship expression. Expect a savoury, structured Bordeaux blend with the mineral backbone and tannin profile that defines serious Saint-Émilion Grand Cru. Below it sits the 2020 Bien-Aimée de Fleur de Lisse, the village-level offering at Saint-Émilion appellation. This wine scored 89 points on Wine Enthusiast and 91 on James Suckling, delivering much of the character of its Grand Cru sibling at a more accessible entry point. For cellaring, the Grand Cru is your choice. For drinking now with food and understanding the house style, the village wine is excellent value. Both are built for the table, not the glass alone.

Food Pairing

Saint-Émilion from Vignobles Jade pairs well with beef in rich preparations—braised short ribs, beef cheeks in red wine, or simply grilled steak with bone marrow. The wines also work with duck confit, cassoulet, and aged hard cheeses. The savoury, structured character means these wines need food with some weight and umami. Serve slightly cool and decant younger vintages 15–20 minutes before service to open up the tannins.

How long can Vignobles Jade's Saint-Émilion age?

The 2020 Grand Cru is built for 10+ years cellaring. Its tannin structure and mineral core support gradual integration and development of secondary flavours—typical of serious Saint-Émilion. Drink now through 2030+.

What's the difference between the Grand Cru and village-level wine?

Both are savoury, classic Saint-Émilion blends from Château Fleur de Lisse. The Grand Cru offers greater concentration, tannin structure, and ageability; the village wine is more accessible now while retaining the house style.

What grapes are in these wines?

Both are Bordeaux blends centred on Merlot with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The exact blend varies by vintage and appellation, but this traditional Right Bank mix is the foundation of Vignobles Jade's style.
