Quincy

Quincy is a small town in France's Loire wine region that has its own appellation for dry white wines made from Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Wine has been produced in this region for centuries, peaking right before the phylloxera epidemic in the 1860s. The parish's wines were the first in the eastern Loire to receive official AOC status – only a few months before Sancerre – in August 1936.

The typical Quincy wine is a crisp white wine with a high acidity level. Herbaceous, grassy, and citrus flavors are frequently mentioned in tasting notes, which are occasionally complemented by the minerality inherent in the best Loire Valley wines. Quincy wine has grown in popularity dramatically during the last several decades. The renown of nearby Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, whose white wines are created in a similar way, is undoubtedly benefiting the village. These wines have a distinct flint fragrance and are quite mineral. They have good aging potential. These fragrant and well-balanced wines mix well with seafood, crabs, and goat cheese.
