2008 Domaine de Chevilly, Quincy


I last tasted the 2008 Quincy from Domaine de Chevilly owned by Yves and Antoine Lestourge back in May when I looked at a range of Loire wines from UK importers Thorman Hunt. Then the 2008 was quite New Zealand in style with asparagus notes. Now it is now more classic Loire with citric notes to the fore in particular grapefruit. This sample came from the Colchester Wine Company at £12.47 a bottle.

Domaine de Chevilly is in Méreau in the Arnon Valley to the west of Quincy appellation. The domaine was founded in 1994 with just 1.5 ha of vines. The Lestourges now have nine hectares planted.
