Conti ‘Tour des Gendres’

Conti ‘Tour des Gendres’ is a bubbling blend of Sauvignon and Chenin that awakens even the most dormant of jaw muscles. A sunshine-soaked terrace-tippler. An ancestral method sparkling wine that opens with ripe & fleshy orchard fruits, offering a balanced, juicy palate and fun fizz.

Albert de Conti, a first-generation Frenchman whose parents emigrated from Italy in the 1920s, purchased a plot in 1963. With his wife Odette, they planted several hectares of vines in the hamlet of Saint-Julien d’Eytems. Viticulture trickled down through the generations and in 2019, grandsons Guillaume and Paulin, alongside cellar-master Yann Lecoindre, took a youthful grasp of the reins and Domaine Albert de Conti was born. They farm the vines organically, and certain biodynamic and agroforestry methods are restoring natural balance to their 30 hectares of soils. Incredibly, the oldest of these vines were planted by Albert himself in 1966 and include numerous varieties.

Conti ‘Tour des Gendres’ – a sumptuous and succulent reminder that sometimes the sun smiles for us here. Undoubtedly, this exuberant expression of Chenin and Sauvignon will serve to invite chatter and cuddles.
