Sophie et Guillaume Joncy

Winegrowers since 1619, the Joncy family settled in Quincié in Beaujolais at the beginning of the 18th century in the Chavagnon house, located in the middle of the vineyards, facing south with a magnificent view of Mont Brouilly. For several generations, the Joncy family practiced mixed farming, raising cows and growing vines. Generations followed one another until Jean-Paul took over the estate in 1978 with 5 hectares of Beaujolais-Villages. Guillaume, his son, joined the estate at the age of 18. Then Sophie, Guillaume's wife, joined the adventure in 2013 (she herself comes from a family of winegrowers in Brouilly for six generations). Will their two children, Paul and Victor, continue this same passion?Today, the estate covers 25 hectares in the following appellations: Beaujolais, Beaujolais-Villages, Beaujolais Quincié, Côte de Brouilly, Morgon, Régnié, and Chiroubles. The grape varieties grown are Gamay, Chardonnay, and Pinot. "The strength of the winemaker lies in enhancing and revealing his terroirs, highlighting the soil, the climate and his passion." Each plot is unique. The entire production is vinified and bottled at the estate in their new winery, built in 2014.
