2023 Domaine Albert de Conti 'Fat Albert' Red Blend

Profile & Story

Domaine Albert de Conti is an organic estate in the Bergerac appellation of southwest France, built around vines first planted in 1966 by Albert de Conti and today farmed by his descendants, Guillaume, Paul, and their friend Yann. ShareVino could not independently confirm a cuvee named exactly 'Fat Albert' on the producer's current lineup; the closest confirmed match is the estate's flagship red, La Vigne d'Albert, grown on the same Saint-Julien plot Albert planted, a blend of Perigord (Merille), Abouriou, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cot, and Fer on clay-limestone soils, made without filtration or added sulfites to capture the fresh, lower-alcohol style Albert himself favored.
