Our history

A family story above all!

Beyond the vineyard, Château de Quinçay is a family story.

Since 1860, the Cadart family’s life has been shaped by the activity of the estate, which they work together as a family to run.

The Beginnings 134 Years Ago

134 years ago, a brigadier general decided to become a winemaker, marking the start of the fascinating history of this family-owned vineyard. This bold decision laid the foundation for a tradition that continues to this day, where the passion for wine and the viticultural expertise have flourished from one generation to the next.

A Passion and Expertise

Since then, the torch of viticulture has been passed down through the Cadart family from generation to generation. Beyond the inheritance of the profession, it is a shared passion for wine that has united the family throughout these years. This intergenerational transmission has strengthened family bonds and has played a crucial role in preserving the cherished wine traditions of the region.
