2019 Jean Michel Sorbe Quincy Blanc - 93 PTS - W&S

"Catherine Corbeau Mellot has run this estate since her husband Alexandre's passing in 2005, six years after he had taken over Sorbe's domaine. She ferments and ages this Quincy in stainless steel, producing a healthy, structured sauvignon with overtones of tropical fruit. Its minerality comes off akin to grill-smoke, adding depth and placing the wine with a grilled pork chop and poached apples."

wine enthusiast 90 pts"Now owned by the Sancerre producer, Joseph Mellot, this estate is a standard bearer in Quincy. This wine's floral character and generous currant fruitiness is balanced by a tangy acidity and texture. - Roger Voss"

jeb dunnuck logo 250"The 2017 Quincy Blanc is all Sauvignon brought up in tank, seeing no oak whatsoever. This beautifully layered, mineral-laced white offers classic Loire notes of green citrus, earth, and crushed rocks. With good acidity and a layered texture, it’s well worth seeking out and is going to shine on the dinner table."
