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 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 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.
