Côtes-de-Bergerac
The Côtes-de-Bergerac vineyards are crossed from east to west by the Dordogne River and watered by a number of its tributaries. Geologically, the region's outcrops are essentially Tertiary and Quaternary in age. The Côtes-de-Bergerac vineyards are planted on sunny hillsides (boulbènes and the limestone terreforts of the Monbazillac hillsides) and plateaus (Tertiary limestone plateaus and Quaternary gravels) on both banks of the Dordogne. Here, characterful terroirs are perfectly showcased by estates such as Château Tour des Gendresl, Vignoble des Verdots and Domaine de l'Ancienne Cure.
Côtes-de-Bergerac red wines are made from the best selections of each winegrower, most often aged in barrel. They correspond to a fuller-bodied type of wine than Bergerac red, and not to a geographical area. Côtes-de-Bergerac are subject to lower yields than Bergerac. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot Noir, Côt or Malbec give Côtes-de-Bergerac red wines their intense, dark color. Structured and complex, they present aromas of candied fruits such as prunes. Their exceptional tannin structure gives them excellent ageing potential. They reach their full potential around 5 or 6 years of age, and can last another 5 to 10 years depending on the vintage. Côtes-de-Bergerac white wines are divided into three categories: demi-sec, moelleux and doux, according to their sugar content. Côtes-de-Bergerac Moelleux represents the bulk of production. They are made from a blend of 3 classic grape varieties: Semillon, Sauvignon and Muscadelle, with Semillon being the preferred variety.

Château Tour des Gendres - Côtes-de-Bergerac La Gloire de mon Père 2021

The palate is fluid and unctuous, with balanced, refreshing acidity, well-controlled, fine-grained tannins and a definite finesse and elegance. The wine opens with nuances of tart red cherry, a touch of cranberry, a hint of blackcurrant leaf and fresh tobacco, a lovely spiciness and spice. Long, succulent finish. (Vert de Vin 2022)

Domaine du Bois de Pourquié - Côtes-de-Bergerac Moelleux 2014
3.5/5 (22 reviews)
2*Coup de Coeur Hachette
"Clean, bright and slightly golden, the color of this half-sauvignon gris, half-sémillon cuvée is particularly meticulous. The nose is not to be outdone, with powerful yet delicate scents of white fruit (pear) and ripe exotic fruit. These equally intense aromas are echoed on the round, smooth palate, well-balanced by a fine freshness on the finish. A harmonious wine from start to finish". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2016)

16,5/20 Gault & Millau
The signature of perfect maturity on a unique terroir, Cuvée Moulin des Dames comes from a parcel bordered by truffle oaks.

15/20 Gault & Millau
"A pure Merlot of great style, with a savory grain of tannin, which has relaxed after one more year, saline, vibrant, of great purity. The 2-hectare plot on limestone was planted by Luc de Conti's father." (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2015). A wine characterized by an excellent balance between roundness, density and liveliness, supported by a complex aromatic palette (blackberry, morello cherry, discreet oak...).

4/5 (1 review)
Notes : RVF 15/20, Guide Hachette 1*(Very successful wine)
"The dry bergerac 2010 L'Extase earns one star for its fatness, finesse and citrus notes mingled with a still very present woodiness, which will need to mellow." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2013). A deep, powerful red that seduces with its subtle menthol nuance...
Château Tour des Gendres - Anthologia Rouge 2008
4/5 (1 review)
Note : RVF 18,5/20
"In 2008, the grand cuvée Anthologia is made almost exclusively from Merlot; full of ripe fruit and silky tannins, it's a magnificent bottle". (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2011 - RVF)

Notes : RVF 16/20, Gault Millau 16/20, Silver Medal Concours Général Agricole 2007
"This cuvée is hyper-concentrated, with flavors of blackcurrant syrup and raspberry. The oak is still present, but the whole harmonizes, bringing great pleasure today, which will last for at least ten years. Beautiful finish, with panache and a flight of spices". (Le Guide des Vins 2011 - Gault Millau)
