  • It is an intense and mineral-driven wine with opulent blackcurrant, lemon, and hawthorn aromas. On the palate, the ripe citrus flavours are supported by crisp acidity. The 2022 vintage perfectly reflects the year's warm and dry weather conditions, with rainfall at the right time. This wine offers the concentration and depth of warmer years combined with the aromatic freshness of the most outstanding vintages.

The grapes were gently pressed in a pneumatic press immediately after being picked to minimize skin contact. The juice was traditionally fermented with selected yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Fermentation lasted for seven to 15 days, followed by maturation in stainless steel tanks for at least six months on its fine lees to impart volume and texture. Bottling took place during the spring following the harvest.

Winery

Quincy is a village located in the east of the Loire wine region. It gained its appellation for dry white wines made from Sauvignon Blanc in 1936, just a few months before Sancerre. Situated around the town of Bourges, the Quincy vineyards sit on a plateau overlooking the River Cher, a tributary of the Loire River. The vines benefit from a continental climate, experiencing a drier and warmer growing season than that further downstream towards the Atlantic Ocean. However, the risk of frost can be significant, and a handful of producers have installed wind turbines in the region to help reduce the occurrence. The climate is nevertheless still relatively cool, so the grapes require an extended hang time to reach full ripeness. This slow and gradual maturation of the berries leads to greater complexity in the wine. The grapes for this wine come from vines grown in limestone soils, which impart elegance to the wine. The vineyard soil is managed sustainably in terms of the environment and biodiversity.
