Château de Tracy - Pouilly-Fumé Haute Densité 2017
94/100
Wine Enthusiast
This wine comes from a densely planted vineyard whose low yields and very ripe fruit have produced a concentrated, intense wine with notes of white fruit and lovely acidity. Because the vines draw their nutrients from deeper in the soil, this cuvée offers a beautiful expression of the terroir, combining finesse and liveliness. A rare cuvée.

Nose
Rich and complex. Notes of pear, eucalyptus, licorice, and woody essences are evident. As it opens up, the aroma transitions to sunnier scents: fresh pineapple, peach, mango, and sweet grapefruit. Then notes of toast and orange blossom emerge
Palate

About the estate:
Under the leadership of Juliette d’Assay, Tracy has become an icon of the Pouilly-Fumé appellation. Perched above the Loire River, its vineyards are dedicated to Sauvignon Blanc, the estate’s specialty. The diverse soil types—ranging from flinty clay to marl and limestone—enable the production of several cuvées imbued with these terroirs, each a reliable choice that never disappoints. Everything is progressing, and the prestige cuvées are impressive. An estate to watch closely.
