Quincy, the historic cradle of Sauvignon, stands out by its homogenous soil character. Situated essentially on the left bank of the River Cher, up from Vierzon, the vineyards cover 270 Ha. The soil is largely sand and gravel, on clayey sub-soil over Berry lacustrine limestone.

Deposited by the River Cher that scoured the valley during the Quaternary period, these terraces have given Quincy a soil character unique among the wines of Berry Centre Loire. Quincy wines also benefit from their connection with the historic Vin Noble varieties of the Duché de Berry and Duc Jean and the excellence of the Sauvignon grape. Charles VII’s head wine-keeper, Jean de Maubruny, had his vineyard at Brinay
