Pouilly Fumé Chateau De Tracy 2025

The Pouilly Fumé from Chateau De Tracy is a wine produced in the Loire Valley region with Sauvignon Blanc, the principal grape variety of the area. In this region, Sauvignon expresses itself with a particular elegance, finesse, with a very subtle and delicate aromatic component, always accompanied by the classic mineral and savory notes of the limestone and silica soils. The wines of Pouilly Fumé have always been unreachable models for anyone who decides to try to cultivate and vinify Sauvignon Blanc and are unanimously considered among the most classy and charming whites in the world.

The Pouilly Fumé wine originates from a family domaine located near the village of Tracy-sur-Loire. The estate extends over an area of about thirty hectares, divided into different parcels characterized by microclimate and different soils. The work in the vineyard is set up precisely to allow the only cultivated grape variety, Sauvignon Blanc, to express itself differently according to the composition of the soils and thus produce labels that perfectly represent the place of origin. The grapes come from vineyards exposed to the southwest, which insist on two different types of soils: silex and Kimmeridgian limestone. The first gives the wine a good structure and decisive aromas, while the second bestows elegance and aromatic richness. The blending of grapes with different characteristics allows for a wine with greater complexity and depth of flavor.

The Sauvignon Blanc Pouilly Fumé from Chateau De Tracy is made from grapes harvested at full ripeness and with a selection in the vineyard of only the best bunches. Each parcel is vinified separately, in order to then create a balanced and harmonious cuvée. Before bottling, the wines rest on their own lees in steel tanks with periodic batonnage. In the glass, it presents a straw yellow color with slight greenish reflections. The bouquet opens with elegant aromas of blackcurrant, boxwood, herbal notes, balsamic hints, citrus aromas, and hints of tropical fruit. The sip is sleek and taut, with an expressive fruit center, announcing a long finish of clear citrus and mineral freshness.
