About the estate:
Guillaume and Paul, Francis’s sons, in partnership with oenologist Yann Lecoindre, manage the 30 hectares in Saint Julien d’Eymet under the Albert de Conti label (formerly Tour des Gendres’ flagship cuvée). A new winery for vinification and aging is set to be built in Saint Julien, offering an opportunity to revitalize the village’s wine industry. The trio, led by the dynamic Guillaume, is determined to innovate, both in terms of labels and the style of the wines, by planting Savoyard grape varieties and others, just like their cousins. Stay tuned.

About the wine:
Typical of the Southwest, Cuvée des Conti offers the brightness of stone fruit paired with a smooth, full-bodied palate.
About the estate:
Rancis de Conti was a cooperative member and supplied his wines before entering into a lease agreement with his brother Luc de Conti at Château La Tour des Gendres. In 2021, Guillaume, his son, and his brother Paul, along with Yann Lecoindre, the cellar master at La Tour des Gendres, took over this 30-hectare leasehold to produce their own wines under the Albert de Conti label. The Conti-ne Périgourdine, Cuvée des Conti, La Vigne d'Albert, Chez Paul, and the naturally sparkling wines produced on this estate’s plots have been taken over by the new entity, which is therefore included in our guide on the same level as the former estate.
