Description

Chateau de Tracy Pouilly Fume 2019

Chateau de Tracy is one of the oldest producers in a very old winemaking region of an extremely old winemaking country, and as such it's fair to say that they know what they're doing as far as Sauvignon Blanc is concerned. The mid-Loire is the spiritual home of this now ubiquitous grape variety, and it is here more than anywhere that its true character shows through in all its glory. This is a classic and refined expression, with taught mineral tension supporting a profile of soft peach, lemon, elderflower, and a hint of cedar and boxwood. Drink it just slightly chilled with a French bean salad on a summer's afternoon.

The grapes are sourced from a number of vineyards throughout the, planted on a plethora of soil types. Chalky, Kimmeridgian soils lend the wine its distinctive minerality, while vines planted on the heavier clay, flint soils impart the curious smokey note famous to the region. Chateau de Tracy follow an organic and sustainable approach in the vineyard, and no animal-based fining agents or winery aids were used during the vinification

FAQ'S

Can you explain your shipping charges?

We charge the amount the courier charges us to deliver the wines. In the majority of cases this is £10.00 for a dozen wines. For local delivery we charge £5.00 as we can often do this ourselves, by local we mean Milton Keynes.

Couriers charge by weight and size and a case of wines is both heavy and bulky and so the costs are fairly high. The charges are the same if you are buying 1 bottle or 6 bottles but they change if you go over 6 bottles due the the excess weight and size. Couriers also charge a fee to cover fuel excess and this all goes towards the total cost not to mention the 20% VAT to be added to everything.

Currently if someone orders a dozen wines they are charged £10.00 but if they order 24 bottles the charge is the same!

If you wish to have your wines shipped to other countries the costs are extreemly high and often not worth paying for. The cost for example to ship to the USA for a dozen wines would be £100.00 for the shipping alone! Therefore we have taken the decision not to ship any wines outside of the UK.

What is your minimum order?

The minimum order is 1 bottle! I prefer it if people order more and you get better value with the delivery if you do this too!

What if I want to send wine as a gift?

No problem, we will send to your preferred address and even include a card free of charge!

We have two kinds of cards a blank one and a Thank you one. However if you want a Valentines one or a birthday card or anyother type of card please let us know. We will write your personal greeting and even include the soppy stuff. We don't charge for the cards as its our way of thanking you for choosing us to send a gift to your loved one.

What about a discount?

I may be able to take a little off the price if you ask nicely and there is a large enough order. Please do not ask for a discount on any orders under 12 bottles. Email me with your requirements and I will let you know if I can do anything. However the best way to get a discount is to sign up for the newsletter as there is often special offers given away to newsletter subscribers.
