Château des Tracy has been managed by the same family since the 14th century when the Scottish Stuart family and their large army, came to support the future King Charles VII of France during the Hundred Years War. Years later their name was gallicized to become d'Estutt or Destutt. The marriage of François Stutt and Lady of Tracy in 1586 merged the two branches of the families. Visit the facilities and you’ll see the fresco of their family and it’s backbone of their domaine heritage. Side note- hidden amongst the forest a stones throw from the winery is the Château, a private residence of a family member. It reminded me of the castle in Sleeping Beauty.

The estate is made up of 33 hectares of the signature flint soils of Pouilly-Fumé and nearby vines comprised of Kimmeridgian limestone. Certified at the highest standard of HVE their environmental responsibilities are of the utmost importance and highly focused on expression of Sauvignon Blanc. The chateau is a private residence of one of the family members- from a distance it reminded me of a castle from Sleeping Beauty 😊
We tasted 4 Sauvignon Blanc, each completely different, so pure and bright as you would expect.

Mademoiselle de T 2021 - bright with of citrus, flint and saline
Chateau de Tracy - structured citrus and tropical fruit with spicy undertones
Haute Densité HD (bottle 6 181 of 6 800) - rich and complex with stone and tropical fruit balanced with a touch of oak
101 Rangs (bottle 2 761 of 8 500) - layered complexity of tropical, oak influence, bright city’s and so many layers
Quite honestly I loved all of the wines because again, they were so individualistic, so fresh and full of personality. Beautifully made in a variety of styles appealing all walks of Sauvignon Blanc lovers.
