Contador crossed the finishing line second at the end of a gruelling final day in the Alps alongside Andy and Frank Schleck, the latter of the brothers winning the 169.5 kilometres stage from Bourg St Maurice to Le Grand-Bornand.
Armstrong, Contador's Astana team-mate who started the day second overall, finished fourth, two minutes and 17 seconds behind the front three.
Wiggins ended up seventh and concedes third place in a shake-up of the GC.
Andy Schleck goes second, 2.26mins behind Contador heading into Thursday's individual time trial, while Frank Schleck is now third and Armstrong drops to fourth, 3.55mins off the lead.
