"The jewel in the Domaine's crown for this exceptional wine of confidential production".
"Pouilly Fumé can be multi-faceted and complex, and this wine is a perfect example. With its golden color and resolutely herbaceous nose, this wine immediately plunges into overripe green pear, dried summer field grass, white nectarine, orange marmalade and forest floor, while flirting with brioche. On the midpalate, it reveals nuances of chalk and hints of thyme and dill. Drink now, but this elegant wine can continue to develop until 2029." (Wine Enthusiast 2024)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 93/100
Domaine rated (guide 2025) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the wine:
There's the richness of the vintage with just the right amount of tension behind, on accents of yellow fruit. Dense and energetic on the palate, it's a real success, starting to express itself well.
About the domain :
Under the impetus of Juliette d'Assay, Tracy is an emblem of the Pouilly-Fumé appellation. Overlooking the Loire, its vineyards are devoted to Sauvignon Blanc, the estate's specialty. The different types of soil, ranging from flinty clay to marl and limestone, make it possible to produce a number of cuvées imbued with these terroirs, all of which are sure-fire values that never disappoint. Everything is in progress, and the prestige cuvées are impressive. An estate to follow closely.
