Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2019 guide) 15/20 (Very good wine)

Domaine rated 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))

About the domain :

Memory of Quincy, Jean Tatin will tell you all about his terroirs with enthusiasm. His daughter Maroussia joined him in 2010 and is gradually bringing her personal vision to the estate's wines, which remain simple and well-made. The vineyard covers 25 hectares in Quincy, on the Cher hillsides, and since 2003, also 8 hectares in Reuilly on the Arnon hillsides. The low prices and warm welcome are a definite plus, and the Quincy plot-based whites are the wines of choice.

Guide Hachette des vins

Domaine noté (guide 2024) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)

About the domain :

Jean Tatin inherited the estate from his mother's family, who had owned it since 1873. Established in Brinay, he first harvested here in the 1950s. Maroussia, the youngest of his 3 daughters, took over the business.
