Wine Enthusiast
"An appellation benchmark for this captivating cuvée. A fine gastronomic dimension".
Delicate and precise, this Pouilly-Fumé reveals a nose with notes of white fruit, boxwood, white pepper and basil, giving it great complexity. The palate is very fresh, with a mineral texture, citrus and yuzu aromas, and a long, delicately saline finish.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2025) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
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 several 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 watch closely.
