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.

Pet Nat, my love! Galipette in French could be translated as somersaults! Made from Semillon and Muscadelle grapes, completely without added sulfites, it represents two minority varieties here in Bordeaux, but they are two true stars in this lively refermented wine: notes of white flowers, chamomile, and spring herbs are evident, with a hint of bread. On the palate, it is creamy and rich, one of those wines that, once opened, makes you want to drink more, without even realizing it.
