This white wine from the Périgord IGP stands out for its meticulous winemaking process. The Sauvignon, Chenin, and Savagnin grapes are destemmed before undergoing 48 hours of skin contact. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, ensuring optimal control over the process. Aging on the lees with stirring and micro-oxygenation for 8 months gives this wine a complex structure and a silky texture, with enhanced freshness thanks to minimal fining.

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.
