\"icon-historique\"THE STORY<\/strong><\/span><\/h3><\/h3><\/div>

It all began back in 1963, when Primo de Conti, whose parents emigrated from Italy in the 20\u2019s, bought some land with his wife Odette in the little village of St Julien d\u2019Eymet, 20km south of Bergerac. He planted several hectares of vines, cereals and also had some cattle (polyculture was widespread in the region at the time).<\/p>\n

In 1990, their son Francis took over and decided to merge his vineyard with that of his cousin Luc and became his partner in Ch\u00e2teau Tour des Gendres in Ribagnac. His son Guillaume joined him in 2011, followed by his second son Paul in 2013 and in 2017, Yann Lecoindre as cellarmaster.<\/p>\n

Five years on and this trio of \u2018youngsters\u2019 have decided to breathe new life into Primo de Contis home village of St Julien d\u2019Eymet. They\u2019ve taken over Francis\u2019 vineyard and created Domaine Albert de Conti!<\/p><\/p><\/div>

\"icon-historique\"THE TERROIR<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/h3><\/h3><\/div>

The terroir of this 42 hectare vineyard is made up of limestone-clayey and silty clayey soils. The oldest vines were planted by Albert in 1966, and the eponymous parcel (la Vigne d\u2019Albert) is an original combination of a multitude of native grape varieties.
\nThe vines have been farmed organically for many years now and the team hope to go even further by using certain biodynamic and agroforestry methods, in order to restore and strengthen the natural balance of the land.<\/p><\/p><\/div>

\"icon-historique\"THE SPIRIT<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/h3><\/h3><\/div>

The current range is composed of several signature wines, from the emblematic \u2018Cuv\u00e9e des Conti\u2019 to the more recent \u2018Pet Nat\u2019, a delicious, crisp bubbly.
\nWhile Guillaume, Paul & Yann wish to continue with the range, they also want to introduce new savours and stories. Two new grape varieties, as yet unknown in the appellation, were planted in Springtime 2022\u2026\u2026and that\u2019s just the beginning !<\/p><\/p><\/div>
