Henry d'Assay - Sauvignon Blanc specialist from the Loire Valley
Comte Henry d'Assay is a small négociant company created in 2016 by Henri d'Assay and his wife Corinne.
They travelled around France looking for good quality, expressive Sauvignon Blanc wines, and representative of their regions.
Henri d'Assay knows Sauvignon Blanc inside and out. He is a well-known personality, famous among the grower. His family has run well-known Château Tracy in the Pouilly-Fumé appellation in the Upper Loire for many years. He himself was the director for 20 years.
Knowing the Sauvignon Blanc inside and out, Henri carefully selects whom he buys from. He looks for growers that are quality conscious and growers he feels he can work with. He shares his experience with them and, of course, he has views on the way they work in the vineyards and in the cellar.
They launched their first vintage in 2015.
