With its 1.7 hectares of clay-limestone soil rich in limestone, the "Les Gendres" estate produces a distinctive Cabernet Franc. Its meticulous vinification includes total destemming, traditional punch-downs, and a long maceration of 40 days, enhanced by micro-oxygenation under the cap. Aging in 30-hectoliter oak casks for 18 months without filtration or fining preserves the wine's authenticity, guaranteeing impressive structure and finesse.

Our opinion on the vintage
Tour des Gendres / Famille de Conti
The de Conti family has made Tour des Gendres a benchmark for contemporary Bergerac, with a constant focus on the living environment. The Sauvignon Blanc gains a rare breadth, supported by a refined ripeness and a smooth tension, while the reds develop a supple structure with precise grain. The clay-limestone soils impart a slightly spicy dimension that runs through the wines. Aging remains restrained, favoring clarity and true fruit purity. This estate embodies the growing finesse of Southwest France.
