Viticultural notes
The Conti family's vineyard is built on a bedrock composed of a large amount of limestone, resulting in wines that are generous in minerality. Above the rock is a layer of clay, which nourishes the wine in power and complexity.
Tasting notes
The Cuvée des Conti is the very expression of Semillon, picked very ripe and partially passerillé. It offers a superb aromatic complexity, and a mouth combining roundness and vivacity. Its pale golden color is accompanied by airy and intense aromas of white peach, apricot and rose. The mouth is ample, dense, with a beautiful minerality and aromatic power.
Pairing notes
Ideal companion to grilled fish, seafood platter, tomato salad or grilled pork.
