Inspired by our Burgundy philosophy. Each Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé Village expresses various styles that are well known to the local winemakers.
Growing Conditions
Tracy-sur-Loire is a village located on the right Loire banks, with a magnificent view on the ‘Loire loop’ and on the Sancerre vineyard & piton (hilltop). Our ‘Grande Cuvée’ comes from a vineyard selection, grown on Kimmeridgian Marls and Barrois Limestones terroirs.
Our Villages cuvées are our rendering of each village style. The vineyards are selected at harvest according to their type of soils and their grape flavors. Each vineyard benefits from the best suited growing techniques for their terroir.
Winemaking
The juices ferment at low temperatures in small tanks to favor all the Village nuances. Each tank is aged on fine lees for 6-8 months prior to bottling.
Warm vintages are particularly well suited to the Pouilly Fumé appellation. 2020 was a rather unusual year that took our Grande Cuvée to new heights. Quite incredible!
Nose
The nose captivates you by its complex mangoes and blackcurrant bud aromas.
Palate
Our Grande Cuvée 2020 offers a loyal expression of this rich and generous vintage. A sensation of sweetness imparts volume to the palate and perfectly complements the intense aromas of exotic fruits. A touch of ripe blackcurrant brings freshness and a mouthwatering acidity before giving way to notes of almond on the finish.
Appearance
The color is pale-gold with golden highlights.
Food Pairing
Our Tracy-sur-Loire Pouilly-Fumé is great with white creamed meats. The grilled sea fish and scallops are also an excellent combination. Enjoy!
