Ratings: Robert Parker 90/100, RVF 16.5/20, Gault Millau 16/20
The HD cuvée owes its name to the very high density of vines on this Sauvignon plot, which encourages competition among the vines and deeper root growth. A wine that captures the quintessence of the Plateau des Champs de Cri terroir. An expressive and complex white, of great finesse, delicate and subtle, with mineral and fruity notes (grapefruit, candied grapes). The terroir speaks for itself!

Rated estate (2026 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)

About the estate:

Under the leadership of Juliette d’Assay, Tracy has become an icon of the Pouilly-Fumé appellation. Overlooking the Loire River, its vineyard is 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.
