“This vineyard is planted on limestone soils at a density of 17,000 vines per hectare, which make up this cuvée. This high planting density yields a full-bodied structure with chalky notes that perfectly extend the finish.”(The Bettane + Desseauve Guide) The vines draw their nutrients from deeper in the soil, giving this cuvée great body and a beautiful expression of the terroir that blends finesse, concentration, and liveliness. A rare cuvée with incredible length!

About the wine:

This vineyard is planted on limestone soils at a density of 17,000 vines per hectare, which make up this cuvée. This high planting density yields a full-bodied structure with chalky notes that perfectly extend the finish.

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 variety of soil types—ranging from flinty clay to marl and limestone—allows the estate to produce several cuvées imbued with these terroirs, each a reliable choice that never disappoints. The estate is constantly evolving, and its prestige cuvées are truly impressive. This is an estate to watch closely.

Review by Mr. FREDERIC B. Published on November 1, 2023

An exceptional Sauvignon Blanc with a complex nose and notes of gingerbread. The palate is alluring, very elegant, and full-bodied. It was a wonderful experience to taste this wine.
