Château Tour des Gendres 2007 Anthologia Sauvignon Blanc (Bergerac Sec)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $135
Luc de Conti’s quest for perfection in wood aging white wines reaches its apogee here, a pure Sauvignon Blanc. The ripe spice, quince and lemon flavors mingle together in a powerful wine that keeps surprising elegance. Age for another year for final integration.

Château Tour des Gendres 2008 Conti-ne Muscadel (Bergerac Sec)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $33
The neglected third grape of white Bergerac (as also in Bordeaux), after Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, is Muscadelle. It forms the impressive base for this wine. It has a rich character, heavily spiced with wood, nutmeg, perfumed with violets and lemon verbena. This serious, impressive wine is for aging, the toast character still dominant.

Château Tour des Gendres 2008 Moulin des Dames White (Bergerac Sec)
- Online Exclusive
- $45
Wood and spice layer over fruit that has a creamy, Chardonnay-like character. There is herbaceousness, but the rich yellow fruits and exuberant nutmeg and pepper from the alcohol are dominant here. At this young stage, it needs to calm down.

Château les Tours des Verdots 2008 White (Bergerac Sec)
- Online Exclusive
- $21
Layers of spicy wood add to the smooth, creamy character of this wine. It has vivid acidity lifted by green fruit skins and flavors of pineapple and grapefruit. There is a final perfume from the Muscadelle in the blend.

Clos des Terrasses 2008 White (Bergerac Sec)

Full and wood-aged, this wine is smoothly textured. It’s ripe and spicy, with apricot fruit and some minerality. Rich and worth aging for 2–3 years.

Château Tour des Gendres 2009 Moulin des Dames White (Bergerac Sec)
- Online Exclusive
- $50
So rich that it is almost sweet. The yellow fruits give considerable ripeness to this intense, spicy wine. With its smooth, oily texture and its layers of wood, it is almost too much.

Château Tour des Gendres 2009 Cuvée des Conti White (Bergerac Sec)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
The toast element is just right, giving a wine that is very rich, broad and opulent. At the same time, there is an edge of crispness as well as tropical fruits to add a final more vibrant character.
