The story of Domaine Albert de Conti dates back to the 1920s, when Vincenzo de Conti left Italy and settled in southwest France. He laid the foundation for a family winemaking tradition that still thrives today in the Bergerac region. In 1963, his son Albert planted the first vines in the area of Saint-Julien d’Eymet, and in 1990, Francis de Conti expanded the family vision by establishing Château Tour des Gendres – now one of the most renowned wineries in Bergerac.
Today, the estate is run by the new generation – Guillaume and Paul de Conti – together with winemaker Yann Lecoindre. They not only continue the family legacy but also bring a modern approach by combining organic and biodynamic farming with agroforestry practices. Their mission is to craft natural wines that express terroir and reflect the balance of healthy soils and surrounding biodiversity.
