The Story
Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc from Bergerac, Southern France
Fresh • fruity • lightly sweet • refreshing
This lively pétillant naturel is made with a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc. After a direct pressing, the juice undergoes partial fermentation in stainless steel vats. It is then bottled before fermentation is complete, allowing the process to finish in the bottle—an approach that produces natural bubbles without added sugars or secondary fermentations. No sulphur is added at any stage.
Pétillant naturel (or pét-nat) is a traditional method of sparkling winemaking that predates Champagne. It relies on a single fermentation, bottled before completion, resulting in a naturally effervescent wine with a slightly rustic, playful charm.
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
