This is a lightly sappy, grassy Quincy from Jean-Claude Borgnat, Domaine de la Commanderie, with the citric austerity of the 2007 vintage. Pleasant enough but rather bland and without much length. Borgnat became a vigneron in 1993 and now has eight hectares of vines.

The sample was from Majestic Wine where it was selling for £7.99 or £7.49 when buying two bottles, which was a fair price for a Quincy. However, it is no longer listed on the Majestic Wine site so I assume that it is out of stock having sold out of the 2007.

Although considerably more expensive the Domaine de Chevilly, Quincy (see post here) is a better example. From Majestic the 2008 Touraine Sauvignon, Domaine Pré Baron at £6.99 a bottle is a more than adequate replacement.
