Château Tour des Gendres - Classique Rouge 2007

Bettane & Desseauve

About the estate:

This property is the stronghold of the Conti family. Luc de Conti bought the estate in 1981. His cousin Francis and his son Guillaume joined him, while his daughter Margaux chose another estate (Barouillet) and his son Gilles chose the path of beer. Fifty hectares are farmed organically and a small portion (12 hectares) biodynamically.

About the estate:

An Italian story. In 1986, the Conti brothers joined forces, brought their families together, and founded the Conti company. Jean, Luc, their wives, and a cousin, Francis, who contributed his 20 hectares, followed in the footsteps of Vincenzo, who arrived there in 1925. Joined by the latest generation, they cultivate 60 hectares of vines (organic since 2005), supplemented since 2000 by a trading structure that sells wines from neighboring winegrowers who have also converted to organic farming. In 2022, Gilles and Margaux took over.

About the estate:

The 52-hectare estate has recently been divided between the two branches of the family. Luc de Conti, who has been delighting us with his Bergerac wines for twenty-five years, has separated from his cousin and, together with his children Margaux and Gilles, is building a new future for the estate. The vineyard, which is entirely organic, produces powerful white wines and red wines that conform to the classic standards of the Bergerac region. Beer, whiskey, and truffles will also now be part of the Conti label's offerings.
