Château Tour des Gendres - Anthologia 2014

Bettane & Desseauve

About the wine:

Great complexity and aromatic depth for anthologia, with citrus and confectionery aromas mingling with discreet notes of fine barrique, very fine Aquitaine style, long, saline, voluminous, with refreshing acidity perfectly integrated. One of Bergerac's most accomplished wines.

About the domain :

This property is the fief of the de Conti family. Luc de Conti bought the estate in 1981. His cousin Francis and son Guillaume joined him, while daughter Margaux chose another estate (Barouillet) and son Gilles the beer route. 50 hectares are farmed organically, and a small part (12 hectares) biodynamically.

About the domain :

Una storia italiana. In 1986, the de Conti brothers joined their lands, associated their families and founded the de Conti company. Jean, Luc, their wives and a cousin, Francis, who contributes his 20 ha, follow in the footsteps of Vincenzo, who arrived here in 1925. Joined by the last generation, they manage 60 ha of vines (organic since 2005), supplemented since 2000 by a trading structure that sells wines from neighboring winegrowers who have also converted to organic methods. In 2022, Gilles and Margaux took over.

About the wine:

A Sauvignon with a chalkier feel than Moulin des Dames, with a chiseled structure and long, ripe flesh.

About the domain :

The 52-hectare estate has been freshly split 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, with his children, Margaux and Gilles, is building a new future for the estate. The vineyard, entirely organic, produces powerful whites and classic Bergerac reds. From now on, beer, whisky and truffles will also be on the agenda of the label de Conti.
