Château de Tracy has been run by the same family since the 14th century. Records of the property go back to 1396 when “Les Champs de Crix” vineyard was purchased. Nowadays, this particular vineyard is still planted with Sauvignon Blanc and utilized by the Domaine. In 1586, Françoise Stutt married Françoise de Bar who brought him as a dowry the seigneury of Tracy. François Stutt, current owner, is one of the descendents of this union.
Today the domaine consists of 33 hectares on the flinty slopes around the Château itself and those of Vilmoy, a few kilometres away from Pouilly-sur-Loire (Kimmeridgian limestone terroir). To the north of the Pouilly Fume area, on the hillsides which overlook the Loire, the Château de Tracy vineyard extends from “Tracy hill” to the “Champs de Cris” plateau.
Tasting Notes
A fragrant bouquet with notes of raspberry, blackcurrant and light spice. The palate displays a juicy, supple substance with ripe red fruit and fine grained ripe tannins. The wine has classic Loire Valley Pinot Noir character; it is precise, with bright acidity, ripe strawberry and raspberry flavors, light spice and a very dry finish.
