Hachette

" This Quincy from clay-silica gravel impresses with its aromatic finesse. The few notes of boxwood dissipate with aeration, revealing pronounced floral scents, nuanced with minerality and yellow fruit (peach). On the palate, fatness and sweetness give a confectionery sensation, but a well-chiselled freshness balances it all out. Complex, harmonious and gourmet". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2020)

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

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.

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

About the wine:

This Quincy from clay-silica gravel impresses with its aromatic finesse. A few notes of boxwood dissipate as soon as the wine is aired, revealing pronounced floral scents, nuanced with minerality and yellow fruit (peach). On the palate, fatness and sweetness give a confectionery sensation, but a well-chiselled freshness balances it all out. Complex, harmonious and delicious.

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.
