Wines from Château de Tracy Winery
- 2005 Pouilly Fumé, Château de Tracy
We've been taught that the 'smoky, minerally, gunflinty' style defines the wines from eastern Loire appellation Pouilly Fumé - but we're hard pressed to spot it in Henri d'Estutt d'Assay's, richly-textured, weighty, grassy, grapefruity Sauvignons. Perhaps his Château de Tracy (a beautiful property, set in parkland, and home to the vine since 1396) deserves an appellation all its own. The 2004 is showing at its best now. One for goat cheeses or citrus chicken.
