91/100
RVF
"Enjoy the harmony of a unique blend, revealed in a pure and precise cuvée."
An original blend, the result of a unique combination of three distinctive grape varieties. The initial taste is dominated by Sauvignon, which brings lovely fruity and citrus notes. In the middle of the palate, Chenin takes over with a beautiful texture that fills the mouth. Finally, the finish awakens the taste buds with the liveliness and freshness of Savagnin. A delight!

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:
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) 91/100
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:
In Cantalouette, Sauvignon dominates Chenin and Savagnin, developing rose aromas, with a lighter structure and beautiful salinity.
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.
