History

The Château de Quincy, located in the heart of the Berry region in France, has a long and rich history closely tied to viticulture. The château, originally built in the 17th century, houses an ancient wine cellar that bears witness to the domaine's winemaking tradition. This cellar, with its thick stone walls and impressive beams, reflects the generations of winemakers who made the domaine famous.

​

In 1926, the vines of Château de Quincy were uprooted, ending the old wine production. It wasn't until 80 years later, in 2006, that Odile Ponroy decided to revive this old terroir by replanting the plots. Her goal was clear: to restore the domaine to its former glory and make Château de Quincy an essential ambassador of the AOC Quincy, with wines that reflect the richness and authenticity of the region.

​

With a passion for the craft and a respect for viticultural heritage, Odile Ponroy restored the domaine, and her son Augustin took over in 2021. After graduating from an agricultural school, he is ready to continue the tradition and face the challenges ahead. Château de Quincy has been classified as a historical monument since 1992 and has been owned by the Ponroy family for eight generations, who continue to pass on their passion for wine and the domaine.

Vinification

The AOC Quincy is located in the Centre-Loire subregion, mostly on the left bank of the Cher River. It covers 300 hectares, and its production amounts to 10,500 hectoliters per year.

In this region of France, the climate is semi-continental, with dry and warm tendencies. The soils are sandy, sandy-gravelly, and sandy-loamy, which are favorable for the growth of the Sauvignon grape variety.
