2020 Charles Dupuy Quincy Les Champs Fleuris

The vineyards of Dupuy are located in Verdigny in the Loire Valley in Northern France. The plots are mainly located in Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé and Touraine. The great driving force and passion of the wine company is the Sauvignon Blanc grape, with which the most advanced techniques are used to make a wine that is as pure and authentic as possible. The company now also makes very nice wines with Chenin Blanc and Pinot Noir.

The estate and wine empire have been owned by Miguela and Joost Willebois since 2004. Dutchman Joost Willebois has French roots, his French ancestors had the name Villebois, which later became Willebois. When Miguela and Joost bought a wine estate in Verdigny in 2004, they named it Villebois.

Their wines under the name Charles Dupuy are a tribute to Charles Etienne Dupuy, who donated his 80 hectares of land to the then wine estate in 1920.

"Quincy 'comes from the name of a Roman who created the domain of Quintius. Planted on the banks of the Cher, near the city of Bourges, Quincy wines receive a noble order from the Duke Jean de Berry in the 14th century. Today, the Quincy appellation produces one of the most elegant Sauvignon Blanc of the Loire in a fruity-ripe style, full of minerality "

The current terroir, deposited on a lacustrine limestone plateau from the time of Ludien and Stampien, comes from the
erosion of the Massif Central. This alluvial deposit, which can reach a maximum thickness of 6 metres, is a mixture of sand and gravel or pebbles packed in a clay matrix.

The Quincy Sauvignon Blanc benefits from the mild climate of the Cher valley to develop 'airy'. The vinification at low temperature preserves the subtlety of the aromas of Sauvignon Blanc. A complex nose of aromas of blackcurrant, lemon and hawthorn stands out. The taste is round, lifted by a spicy finish with fresh mandarin notes. This Quincy cuvée is very appreciated with carpaccio of scallop or salmon with sorrel. It is also a great treat with goat cheese.
