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

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.
