Sophie et Guillaume Joncy

2.9/5See all 16 reviews

Winemakers in the family since 1619, the Joncys settled in Quincié in the Beaujolais region at the beginning of the 18th century in the Chavagnon house, situated in the middle of the vineyards, facing due south with a magnificent view of Mont Brouilly. For several generations, the Joncy family practiced mixed farming: raising cows and growing grapes. The generations followed one another until Jean-Paul took over the estate in 1978 with 5 hectares of Beaujolais-Villages. Guillaume, the son, joined the estate at age 18. Then Sophie, Guillaume’s wife, joined the venture in 2013 (she herself comes from a family of winemakers in Brouilly spanning six generations). Will their two children, Paul and Victor, carry on this same passion?

At Domaine Joncy, most of the vineyard work is done by hand.

Deeply committed to their local terroir and the environment, Sophie and Guillaume Joncy produce wines using organic farming methods. Their winemaking process blends tradition and modernity, resulting in wines that are both classic and unique. Located in the heart of the vineyards in Quincié, the estate faces due south and offers a magnificent view of Mont Brouilly.

Today, the estate spans 25 hectares across the following appellations: Beaujolais, Beaujolais-Villages, Beaujolais Quincié, Côte de Brouilly, Morgon, Régnié, and Chiroubles. The grape varieties cultivated are Gamay, Chardonnay, and Pinot. “The winemaker’s strength lies in enhancing and revealing the terroirs, highlighting the soil, the climate, and his passion.” Each plot is unique. The entire production is vinified and bottled at the estate in their new winery, built in 2014.
