It is said that Quincy was originally the estate of a certain "Quintius". It is also reputed that the Biturigians Cubi, whose territory included the village of Quincy, even at that time grew vines and brought it to the Biturigians Vivisci in the region of Bordeaux.

Cited in the Bulle de Callixte II in 1120, Quincy is without a doubt one of the oldest vineyards of the region.

The Sauvignon Blanc grape variety was brought from the "Abbaye des femmes de Beauvoir" by the monks of the Citeaux order.

The Duke Jean de Berry, Charles VII and the recognized excellence of the wines conferred to the Quincy Appellation the title of noble wine.

After the replantings due to phylloxera, Quincy was the first of the Centre-Loire vineyards to obtain the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) status in August 1936.
