Rating: RVF 16/20, Bettane & Desseauve 16/20, Gault Millau 15/20
“The character of this cuvée is evident from the very first whiff, with a sense of ripeness and an aromatic profile that moves well beyond varietal notes toward hints of brioche, anise, and white fruit. The palate offers breadth and structure, finishing with notes of peach skin.” (Les Meilleurs Vins de France - Gault Millau). The terroir speaks for itself!

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2014 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2026 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the wine:
This wine has a rich, full-bodied attack and a finish full of harmonious tension.
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.

Wine rated (2012 guide) 15/20 (Very good)
About the wine:
The character of this cuvée is evident from the very first whiff, with a sense of ripeness and an aromatic profile that moves well beyond varietal notes, leaning instead toward hints of brioche, anise, and white fruits. On the palate, it offers breadth and structure, finishing with notes of peach skin.

About the wine:
More aromatic, with very subtle citrus notes, the 2011 Haute Densité really stands out.

Tasted with smoked salmon. A very pleasant wine that everyone agrees on, but it doesn't stand out.
