Smillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle from Bergerac, Southern France

Aromatic round lively complex

A classic Bergerac white with a modern, expressive twist. The Cuve de Conti is a carefully crafted blend where Smillon, picked at ideal ripeness, provides generous body and structure; Sauvignon Blanc adds brightness and tension; and Muscadelle brings floral nuance and perfume. The winemaking includes total destemming and pellicular maceration for 48 hours for the Smillon, while the Sauvignon and Muscadelle are directly pressed. Ageing on the lees for 6 to 10 months adds texture and complexity.

Domaine Albert de Contis roots lie in the Bergerac region of South West France. The family first settled in Ribagnac, later moving to the village of Saint-Julien d’Eymet. There, Albert began cultivating vines alongside cereals and cattle. His son Francis later partnered with cousin Luc at Chteau Tour des Gendres, reviving a vineyard with historical ties to the 12th-century Bridoire Castle. Now in the hands of the next generationGuillaume and Paul, alongside cellar master Yann Lecoindrethe estate continues its evolution, balancing tradition and innovation in both vineyard and cellar.
