This Périgord wine, made exclusively from Savagnin grapes, stands out for its meticulous winemaking process. The grapes, harvested by hand, are completely destemmed before being pressed directly. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, ensuring precise temperature control. Aging continues on the lees for several months in barrels, reinforcing the wine’s structure without the addition of sulfur, resulting in a pure and authentic expression.

Our Review of the Cuvée
Tour des Gendres / Famille de Conti
The Conti family has made La Tour des Gendres a benchmark for contemporary Bergerac, with a constant focus on vitality. The Sauvignon here achieves a rare depth, supported by a refined ripeness and a smooth tension, while the reds develop a supple structure with precise texture. The clay-limestone soils lend a slightly spicy note that runs through the wines. Aging is kept moderate, prioritizing clarity and true fruit purity. An estate that embodies the growing refinement of the Southwest.
