This charming village is known for its vineyard from the Middle Ages, thanks to the monks. Here we only produce white wine produced from a single vine, sauvignon. AOC since 1936. It is one of the first wines to have obtained the appellation of origin controlled.Like Menetou-Salon, Quincy is therefore a great place for wine in the Berry.

In 1734, Anne-Louis Pinon, Lord of Quincy, proposed his reconstruction, with the abandonment of his plate, in a more compliant place. It was therefore rebuilt in the place it currently occupies. The date and name of the contractor are located on the front door of the church.
