This is a small domaine of Pierre Ragon, an older, very traditional grower right in the village of Quincy. He has almost exclusively old vines, prunes back for quite low yields (given the appellation) and vinifies traditionally (i.e., in enameled steel rather than the big, shiny, new stainless steel tanks). It represents one of the finest values in Sauvignon Blanc I’ve ever tasted; lovely ripe citrus, mineral, and melon aromas (from old vines); on the palate the wine shows a minerality that is quite distinctive (quite different from Sancerre, because here there is much more gravel and less limestone rock in the soil) all wrapped in a richer texture from the old vines. The length of finish is surprising which, again, I attribute to old vines and low yields.

The Wine Advocate Issue 130: "The hand-harvested 1999 Quincy from Domaine Trotereau in unquestionably the finest wine I’ve tasted from this appellation in the last four or five years. Its pure aromas reveal gorgeous layers of ripe white fruits and minerals. This medium-bodied, complex, broad wine is precise, impeccably delineated, and intricate. Its is packed with chalk, flint, minerals, and hints of pears." (89 points)
