Description
La Tuilerie du Puy’s Entre-deux-mers Grand Chêne has a straw-yellow colour with brilliant highlights. The highly expressive nose blends exotic fruits with toasted and vanilla notes. The oak ageing is evident but perfectly integrated, creating a very harmonious profile. The suppleness and roundness on the palate are matched by its energy. The palate develops with notes of quince and passion fruit, complemented by a hint of roasted aroma.
