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 La Gloire de Mon Père Red (Côtes de Bergerac)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $26
A warm, beautifully balanced wine, with a fine weight of black fruits, juicy acidity, all rounded with tannins and some wood. This ageworthy wine is concentrated while remaining poised and elegant.

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 Tour des Gendres 2008 Moulin des Dames Red (Côtes de Bergerac)
- Online Exclusive
- $50
Hugely concentrated wine, full of new toasty wood flavors, its structure packed with tannins. That said, there is also a weight of black currant fruit, richly jammy, adding to the sense of power.

Château Tour des Gendres 2005 Moulin des Dames Red (Côtes de Bergerac)
- Online Exclusive
A great structured wine that keeps freshness and fine black fruits all in play. This mid-range wine from Luc de Conti has a firm sense of style, but also offers the potential for mid-term aging. It is not super-concentrated; more elegant, poised and classy.

Château Tour des Gendres 2007 Moulin des Dames Red (Côtes de Bergerac)
- Online Exclusive
- $40
By softening the extract and reducing the use of wood, Luc de Conti has succeeded in making a smooth, elegant wine in a difficult year. There is some weight, principally in the black currant fruit, creating a wine that could age for several years.

Château Tour des Gendres 2007 La Gloire de Mon Père Red (Bergerac)
- Online Exclusive
- $26
Biodynamically run, Château Tour des Gendres is at the top of the tree in Bergerac. This beautifully fruity wine shows freshness as well as depth of tannins, complex berry and bitter chocolate flavors. It is firm, but as a sign of the vintage, has a light character with final freshness.
