Deep beneath Villa Quincy, in the heart of Quincy, existed a hidden world. This wasn’t just any villa. It was once the home and domain of René Marchais, a winemaker whose legacy is etched into the very stones of this place. Villa Quincy now stands as a testament to his passion, a place where the spirit of Sauvignon Blanc comes alive. René’s magnificent vaulted cellar, once tucked away beneath his home on Rue du Poinçon, housed his precious vintages. Across the street, a charming maisonette served as his tasting cellar, where the fruits of his labor were savored. These two structures, now united under the banner of Villa Quincy, form a vibrant center dedicated to the celebration of Sauvignon Blanc. The municipality, recognizing the historical significance of these buildings, acquired them and entrusted them to the Communauté de Communes. Villa Quincy is more than just a museum. It’s a sensory experience, a journey through the history and craftsmanship of this revered grape. Imagine the clinking of glasses, the murmur of conversation, and the rich aroma of wine permeating the air as patrons gathered in René’s tasting room. Today, Villa Quincy continues to share the story of Quincy wine with the world. Within its walls, you’ll find not only the echoes of René’s dedication but also a glimpse into the rich traditions of the region. The Villa stands as a living tribute, preserving the heritage of a winemaker and his beloved Sauvignon Blanc.
