Château de Tracy
www.chateau-de-tracy.com
Château de Tracy produces some of the finest Pouilly-Fumé in the region. Founded in 1396, Château de Tracy really came into into its own in the 1950s.
The slightly cooler temperate climate in the valley on the right bank of the Loire, where the vineyards stand, allow the grapes to ripen more slowly than warmer regions. This, coupled with the flintly soils, give a full and fresh minerality to the wines. These magnificent Sauvignon Blancs evolve remarkably well over time.
2015 AOC Pouilly Fumé Château de Tracy
Sauvignon Blanc
A first selection of the best cuvées from 30 year old vines is made to determine the final blend of Château de Tracy. The nose is fresh and aromatic, with persistant, yet delicate, citrus fruit aromas (mainly lime). On the palate, this Sauvignon Blanc has a clean, balanced and fresh attack with a long finish of citrus fruit aromas. A classic!

2015 AOC Pouilly Fumé Haute Densité du Château de Tracy
Sauvignon Blanc
15 year old vine on a single 1 Ha plot. Only the juice from the slow, gentle pressing, which produces the highest quality must, was kept for the Cuvée ‘Haute Densité. 85% of the wine was matured for one year in the vats, with regular stirring of the lees (bâtonnage). The remaining 15% was fermented and aged in oak barrels. The two wines were then blended and matured for a further year to enhance the natural harmony and complexity of the wine.
The nose is rich and complex with a succession of aromas of red fruits, quince, citrus with a hint of minerality. The palate has a full, fresh attack with the mid palate showing the complexity of this wine: rich and silky smooth, balanced by fresh mineral notes. The final flavour is long, predominantly of aromatic red fruits underpinned by the persistant minerality and elegant structure of the wine.
