The story
The De Conti family, originally from Italy, settled in the region in 1925. Grandfather Albert planted the vines in the 1960s, and the subsequent generations — Guillaume, Paul and their friend Yann — have brought to life the current Domaine Albert de Conti project, enhancing the estate's historic vineyards and local tradition.
Production philosophy
Production based on organic agriculture and low‑intervention winemaking: cellar practices aimed at preserving the expression of the grape variety and the terroir, with some cuvées vinified without added sulfites and experimental approaches.
Terroir and vineyards
Located in Saint-Julien d'Eymet, in the Bergerac area. The vineyards are planted on calcareous soils, calcareous-sandy molasse and clay-limestone zones typical of Eymet, which impart minerality and character to the wines.
