"No oak to enhance a promising vintage, made from Merlot (60%) and Malbec. A colorful, purple robe, a nose leaning towards black fruit, a consistent and rich palate, with an intense and lively finish: the profile of a wine with good aging potential." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2020)

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 wine:
No oak is used to enhance this promising vintage, made from Merlot (60%) and Malbec. A colorful purple robe, a nose leaning towards black fruit, a consistent and rich palate, with an intense and lively finish: the profile of a wine with good aging potential.
About the estate:
Savagnin, a grape variety from the Jura region, is making its debut in Bergerac! A craft brewery and distillery further diversify the estate's offerings. With Gilles and Margaux de Conti, the new generation, full of plans, took over this family estate in 2022. While creating original vintages, they continue to produce the appellation wines that made Ch. Tour des Gendres famous, founded in 1981 by their father Luc, the son of farmers and winegrowers and grandson of Italian immigrants who settled in the region in 1925. The estate, which now covers 30 hectares, committed to organic farming in 1996, before being certified in 2009.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (2020 guide) 15,5/20 (Good wine)
Rated estate (2026 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About wine:
Simple and authentic, just fruit and nothing else: the purity of Conti's style in a juicy vintage.
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.

Review and opinion by Mr. JEAN JACQUES W. Published on 08/25/2019
This was my first time trying a Bergerac, and I was blown away by the quality of the winemaking. We paired it with duck breast with apricots—it was simply delicious.
