Quincy was the second recognized appellation in France in 1936, second to Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Grapes had long been planted here w/ Sauvignon Blanc having been introduced by Cistercian monks in the 12th century. Distinctive flavor profile born from warmer soils, it tastes of ripe, succulent citrus devoid of grassiness, while boasting the same flinty nerve as a good Sancerre.
