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
Bright gold with light green highlights. Notes of white flowers, hawthorn and citrus on the nose. The palate is lively and well concentrated. With a little aeration, the wine starts to reveal more exotic fruit like mango, passion fruit and lychee. Notes of lime and a minerality on a clean crisp finish.
Method
Made from Sauvignon Blanc grapes from the Loire Valley, the birthplace of Sauvignon Blanc. Though Chateau Tracy is located in the Pouilly FumĂ© appellation, this wine has a IGP Val de Loire designation, meaning that the grapes are sourced from a broader area in the Loire Valley. The wine shows the classic characteristics of Sauvignon Blanc grown on soils of marl, limestone and silt.Â
