About Domaine Joncy:
Guillaume and Sophie Joncy are Vignerons in the purest sense of the word and exemplify what I admire most about French Farmers. They have a deep, longstanding relationship with their land - the Joncy family has been vignerons in Quincié since 1619 – and a commitment to be good stewards of the land as well as contribute something unique to the estate from their generation. They were amongst the pioneers of soil regeneration using permanent cover crops in Beaujolais and have been certified organic since 2017. Where ploughing is necessary, it is horse drawn and sheep graze in the vineyards once harvest is finished. Domaine Joncy is situated in Quincié-en- Beaujolais, one of the named Beaujolais-Villages, and wedged between the crus of Régnié and Brouilly.
