2025 Chateau De Tracy Pouilly-Fume, Loire Valley - 750ml

Château de Tracy is one of Pouilly-Fumé’s historic estates, situated on the right bank of the Loire near the village of Tracy-sur-Loire. Known for its distinctive expression of Sauvignon Blanc, the estate produces wines that balance citrus freshness, mineral precision and a restrained, elegant texture. The youthful 2025 vintage offers a vibrant introduction to the appellation, emphasizing pure fruit, lively acidity and the flinty character traditionally associated with Pouilly-Fumé.

Blend: 100% Sauvignon Blanc.

Tasting Notes: Fresh grapefruit, lemon zest and green apple are complemented by white peach, delicate citrus blossom and subtle herbal notes. The palate is crisp and finely textured, with bright citrus fruit, a suggestion of wet stone and a lightly smoky mineral finish.

Structure: Medium-light bodied, with vibrant acidity, focused citrus fruit and a clean, mineral-driven profile. Its refreshing character is balanced by enough texture and concentration to give the wine substance at the table.

Drink Window: 2026–2030. Best enjoyed in its youth for its freshness and aromatic clarity, although careful cellaring may bring additional complexity over the next several years.

Decanting: Decanting is generally unnecessary. Serve chilled at approximately 48–52°F in a medium-sized white wine glass, allowing the wine to warm slightly as its aromatics emerge.

Château de Tracy Pouilly-Fumé 2025 is an appealing choice for Sauvignon Blanc enthusiasts seeking a classic Loire Valley expression with freshness, precision and understated complexity. Its citrus-driven profile and mineral finish make it particularly well suited to oysters, goat cheese, grilled fish, asparagus and delicate seafood preparations.
