Why this wine
Pouilly-Fumé sits across the river from Sancerre on much the same flint, and Tracy has been in one family since 1586. The vines are certified organic and hand picked in several passes, and the wine is fermented slowly in steel with no oak at all. A textbook demonstration of what flint does to Sauvignon Blanc.

How it tastes
Expressive aromatics of asparagus and grapefruit with a hint of tarragon, underpinned by flinty minerality. The palate is dry and textured, tangy and fresh, with high acidity running through to a long, mouthwatering finish. Sauvignon Blanc 100%.
The producer
The Stutt family came to France from Scotland in the fifteenth century to support the future King Charles VII during the Hundred Years War, and inherited Château de Tracy by marriage in 1586; the estate is still family owned and is led today by the youngest daughter, Juliette d'Assay. The vineyard lies at Tracy-sur-Loire on slopes overlooking the river, twenty-nine-year-old vines facing south-west on clayey flint over Kimmeridgian limestone, the first giving the wine its assertive character and the second its richness. It is certified organic and holds the HVE certification, with grass ploughing, leaf thinning and butterfly lures in place of chemical treatments, and the grapes are hand harvested in several passes. Each press fraction was vinified separately in a long, slow, low-temperature fermentation in stainless steel with minimal intervention, then held on fine lees until the following spring, when the vats were blended.
Food and drinking
Serve at 8–10°C. It works with oysters, grilled sole, fresh goat's cheese and a salad of asparagus and peas. Drink over the next three to five years; no decanting required. Sealed with a DIAM closure. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
