Christophe Pueyo's Tellus Vinea is a red wine of great character and personality, the result of a rigorous selection of grapes from two different parcels, one located just outside Saint-Emilion (Juillac/Sainte Radegonde) and the other in Lugon, near Fronsac. The vines are grown on clay, gravel, and limestone soils, which contribute to the wine's complexity and minerality. It stands out as a "standout" among red Bordeaux wines: intense, full-bodied, and nuanced, yet surprisingly balanced and drinkable. It recalls the great wines of the region's golden age, respecting its terroir and offering a sensory experience that exceeds the expectations of a simple Bordeaux Rouge, establishing itself as a wine of character, true to its roots, and a great expression of its terroir.
