Château Tour des Gendres - Cuvée des Conti 2024
Château Tour des Gendres is one of the essential references of Bergerac, located in Ribagnac, on the hills overlooking the Dordogne valley. Led by Luc de Conti, the estate has established itself for many years as a model of consistency and sincerity, supported by rigorous and committed biodynamic viticulture. The vines are planted on clay-limestone and molasse soils, particularly suited to the production of great balanced and expressive white wines. The Cuvée des Conti white is one of the estate's pillars, conceived from the start as a wine of immediate pleasure, readable and generous. It perfectly reflects Luc de Conti's philosophy, combining respect for the terroir and accessibility. The 2024 vintage continues this qualitative continuity.
The 2024 Cuvée des Conti reveals a bright and precise aromatic profile, dominated by notes of fresh citrus, crunchy white fruits, and spring flowers. Upon aeration, slightly exotic nuances and an elegant herbaceous touch appear, bringing freshness. The palate is supple and balanced, supported by a lively but perfectly integrated acidity. The texture is fluid, with a beautiful sensation of purity and frankness. The aging is deliberately discreet to preserve the brightness of the fruit and drinkability. Overall, it offers a straight, gourmand, and immediately appealing white.
The 2024 vintage confirms the status of the Cuvée des Conti as one of the best quality-price-pleasure ratios among the great whites of the Southwest. At the table, it pairs well with seafood, grilled fish, as well as simple and sunny cuisines. Its freshness and versatility make it an ideal wine to share, equally comfortable as an aperitif or during a meal. Behind its accessibility hides a true winemaker's wine, precise and respectful of its origin. The Cuvée des Conti embodies a sincere and modern vision of Bergerac white. A generous, reliable, and tremendously pleasing wine.
