CHÂTEAU DE TRACY
Set on the south-west-facing slopes above the Loire at Tracy-sur-Loire (Nièvre), Château de Tracy covers 33 hectares planted exclusively to Sauvignon Blanc in the Pouilly-Fumé appellation. In the same family since the fourteenth century, the estate was re-established in 1952 by Comte Alain d'Estutt d'Assay; today the vineyards are farmed biodynamically across flint clays, Kimmeridgian marls and limestone. At Halles Quercamps, we selected this estate for its agronomic rigour — HVE Level 3 certification, organic conversion and full biodynamic practice — and for the precision with which its whites express the mineral character of the Pouilly-Fumé terroir. A benchmark Loire estate we recommend with confidence.
