The Quintin brothers, François and Michel, have a ten-hectare property in Coteaux du Giennois, just a stone's throw away from Sancerre. When the brothers began their winemaking endeavor in 1991, they enlisted the services of one of the top vine nurseries in France to replant their Rive Droite parcel. This plot of clay and limestone soil had lain dormant since the Phylloxera blight of the late 19th century. In the two and a half decades since, it has blossomed into the renowned Domaine Quintin Frères. It is not common to see such a young estate rise as quickly through the ranks as Domaine Quintin has, accumulating medals and accolades that are almost as impressive as the wine itself!

Domaine Quintin's Rive Droite is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc. In the glass, the wine pours a light gold color with green highlights. On the nose, this wine is incredibly expressive, displaying gorgeous aromas of ripe citrus and tropical fruits with a stony mineral note. The palate is racy and refreshing with flavors of peach, kiwi and pineapple to compliment the rocky overtones that permeate the wine. The Quintin brothers do a superb job of balancing brilliant fruit intensity and vibrant acidity to create a seamless drinking experience. This is the ultimate bistro wine! Pair with an arugula salad served with seared scallops or grilled asparagus drizzled with fresh lemon juice and olive oil and topped with goat cheese.
