Château de Quinçay is a family-owned estate in Meusnes, on the southern slopes of the Cher in the Loire Valley. The Cadart family has farmed here since 1860, passing the estate through generations while maintaining it as both family home and business. Its approximately 29–30 hectares span the Valençay, Touraine and Touraine Chenonceaux appellations, with Sauvignon Blanc representing more than half the plantings. The vineyard is sustainably farmed, Terra Vitis certified since 2000, and managed according to organic principles, with conversion expected to be completed in 2024. All wines are produced and bottled on site. Flint-rich soils, historically used for gunflints, are a distinctive feature of the property.
