The estate’s biggest volume cuvée, the 2023 Château de Tracy from Juliette d’Estutt d’Assay is at the time of tasting in cuve, undergoing regular bâtonnage until March, with the first of several bottlings (there are usually three each year) not expected before April or May. I find some appealing bright lemon peel and crushed chalk notes here, as well as that bright gunpowder freshness. There are some delicious minty and herby notes too, all set in a palate of beautifully vibrant fruit which calls to mind pear, apple and lemon peel, underpinned by a fine sense of vivacity. Very good potential here, with super acidity. Well done. 90-92/100 Rating: 90-92 Chris Kissack, www.thewinedoctor.com (Aug 2024)

Château de Tracy
Founded in 1396, Chateau de Tracy has been in the hands of the d’Assay family for 610 years, which is something of an achievement in itself. Now run by Juliette, located in the village of Tracy sur Loire the estate covers thirty two hectares under production, on flint and kimmeridgian limestone south west facing slopes overlooking the Loire. With an average age of twenty four years the vines produce significantly lower yields than is the norm in the appellation, making for wines of great intensity, complexity and finesse.
