The Story
Périgord (Mérille), Abouriou, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Côt, and Fer from Bergerac, Southern France
Fresh • tangy • juicy • supple
A joyful and unfiltered expression of Bergerac red wine, ‘La Vigne d’Albert’ is a vibrant field blend that showcases the diversity of the region’s native and classic grape varieties. Fermented with minimal intervention, the grapes are destemmed and macerated for 20 days, with gentle extraction through small pump-overs. The wine is aged in stainless steel for 8 months and is neither filtered nor treated with sulphur, offering a pure, crunchy red bursting with freshness.
Domaine Albert de Conti’s roots lie in the Bergerac region of South West France. The family first settled in Ribagnac, later moving to the village of Saint-Julien d'Eymet. There, Albert began cultivating vines alongside cereals and cattle. His son Francis later partnered with cousin Luc at Château Tour des Gendres, reviving a vineyard with historical ties to the 12th-century Bridoire Castle. Now in the hands of the next generation—Guillaume and Paul, alongside cellar master Yann Lecoindre—the estate continues its evolution, balancing tradition and innovation in both vineyard and cellar.
