Domaine
Vincent Siret-Courtaud
Vincent
Siret-Courtaud is the son of Jacques Siret (see separate entry). After
studying in Toulouse and Dijon and working for four years in Gaillac and
Saint-Emilion, this young vigneron
elected to develop his own domaine in Quincy rather than to join forces
with his father. He started in 2006 when he took over the eight hectare
domaine of Denis Jaumier (although he chooses to vinify at the Maison
Blanche facility rather than in the cellar (that Jaumier vacated) in the
village.
He works six parcels in the appellation, including Le Clos de la Victoire,
Le Clos de Bel Air and some 60 year old vines in Les Bruniers.
He produces a perfectly correct generic Quincy and around 800 bottles a
year of a rather toasty and atypical barrel fermented wine called Angelus. For the moment, he also sells off a proportion of a younger
vine cuvée to négociants in
Sancerre and Angers, but hopes to get to a position soon when he can
justify bottling his entire production under his own name. He is certainly
a grower to watch.
