Les Demoiselles Tatin - Reuilly blanc 2024

Jean Tatin of Mémoire de Quincy will enthusiastically tell you all about his terroirs. His daughter Maroussia joined him in 2010 and is gradually bringing her own personal vision to the estate’s wines, which remain simple and well-crafted. The vineyard spans 25 hectares in Quincy, on the slopes of the Cher River, and, since 2003, also includes 8 hectares in Reuilly on the slopes of the Arnon River. The reasonable prices and warm hospitality are definite assets, and the single-vineyard white wines from Quincy are particularly worth trying.

The rich nose, with notes of pastries and candied apricot, contrasts with a delicate palate that is smoother than expected, yet tender, indulgent, slightly briny, and approachable.

Jean Tatin, supported by his wife Chantal Wilk, runs this estate, which has been in his mother’s family since 1873. Based in Brinay, he harvested his first grapes there in the 1950s. Maroussia, the youngest of his three daughters, has taken over the estate, which is complemented by Les Ballandors in the Quincy appellation.
