La Vigne d’Albert Organic Bergerac Rouge – Château Tour des Gendres

A wine inspired by family heritage

La Vigne d’Albert is an organic red wine from Château Tour des Gendres in the Bergerac area of south-western France. Created as a tribute to Albert de Conti, it reflects the spirit of a vineyard planted in the 1960s and a traditional approach to blending different grape varieties. The aim is to produce a lively, fruit-focused wine made for sharing and everyday enjoyment.

A distinctive blend of grape varieties

The blend brings together local and classic varieties, including Périgord (Mérille), Abouriou, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Côt and Fer. The vines grow on clay and limestone soils, contributing to the wine’s freshness and expressive fruit character. Its vinification includes complete destemming and around twenty days of maceration, followed by ageing in stainless-steel vats.

Fresh fruit and a supple palate

The wine displays a deep, brilliant red colour with vivid purple highlights. Aromas of fresh red berries, raspberry and blackberry are complemented by floral and spicy nuances. On the palate, it is juicy, crisp and supple, with generous fruit balanced by refreshing acidity and a lively finish.

The producer describes this cuvée as unfiltered and made without added sulphur, allowing the fruit to remain at the centre of the tasting experience.

A versatile wine for the table

La Vigne d’Albert pairs well with charcuterie, grilled meats, cheese boards and hearty regional cooking. Try it alongside duck confit, slow-cooked dishes or a generous mushroom preparation to complement its fresh, earthy and fruit-driven character.

Organic, expressive and easy to share, this Bergerac red offers a distinctive taste of the south-west of France and is well suited to relaxed meals with family and friends.
