Quincy (pronounced CAN-SEE) is located just west of the famous vineyards of Sancerre in the central Loire Valley. This tiny appellation lies in the shadow of its very large neighbor Sancerre, along the River Cher. It consists of only 250 acres of plateaux vineyards made up of old sand and gravel. This whole area of France was covered by an ancient ocean and the resulting limestone soils are ideal for Sauvignon Blanc cultivation. Here the vines receive minimal treatments so are nearly organic. A pneumatic press employing low pressure is used for a controlled extraction and for preservation of the complete aromatic spectrum. The temperature controlled fermentation occurs in stainless-steel tanks with battonage of the fine lees for greater richness and texture. Look for aromas of white flowers and bright fruit with a full palate and bracing acidity. The label, selected especially for this market, is from Les Tres Riches Heures of the Duc de Berry.
