My second classic wine is from the middle of the Loire Valley, interestingly not that far from the vineyards of Chablis. The grape variety for this wine is a different classic, that of Sauvignon Blanc. The vineyards of Pouilly Fumé make some of the best Sauvignons in the world, and Chateau de Tracy Pouilly Fumé 2019 is no exception. Again grown on wonderfully sited slopes, overlooking the Loire river, much of the vineyard is old vines, and the combination gives rise to exceptional wines, with great complexity, elegance and refinement. The aroma is floral, with notes of fresh orange, white peach and nectarine. A beautifully balanced palate shows structure, depth and elegance from this excellent vintage. ...the sauvignon blanc of Château de Tracy is among my favourites in Pouilly-Fumé, the Loire, the world … a wine of evanescent, verdant, spirit-lifting charm. |
