Quincy
Quincy wine - Buy Wine From the Quincy region of France
The appellation of Quincy has a rich and ancient history - the monks of Cîteaux were growing wine there as early as the 14th Century and its proximity to river traffic meant it established a healthy market in Paris. All of which might explain why Quincy is a Vin Noble and why (after Châteauneuf du Pape) in 1936 it became France's second official Appellation d'Origine Côntrolée.
Latterly, the reputation of Quincy wine has waned a little, perhaps because only white wine is produced but also because Quincy is very much a small grower's district and so lacks the marketing might of the big négociants from nearby Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé.
In Quincy, Jérôme de la Chaise is a relative rarity being a vrai Vigneron Independent, making his own wine free from the influence of the increasingly powerful local wine-makers’ collective. No red or rosé wine is permitted within Quincy so Jérôme’s efforts are concentrated entirely on his exemplary Sauvignon Blanc.
