"Cuvée Hommage, a rare balance"
One of the estate's flagship vintages, and one of its oldest ( Favorites several Favorites its credit, the first being a 1995). Composed of equal parts Merlot, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc and aged for 18 months in 30-liter casks, the 2022 has an intense, very young color, verging on purple, and opens with cocoa and menthol notes. Cherry notes emerge alongside the woodiness in a balanced, well-structured palate with good length. Its fairly fine structure will allow this bottle to be enjoyed for years to come."

This property is the stronghold of the Conti family. Luc de Conti bought the estate in 1981.

Fifty hectares are farmed organically and a small portion (12 hectares) biodynamically.

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.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 93/100
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:
My Father's Glory appears more massive and concentrated.
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.
