DESCRIPTION
Natural winemaker, Alexandre Bain farms biodynamically in the Pouilly-Fumé appellation of the Loire Valley. The wines are quite different from a classic Pouilly-Fumé style – richer, more aromatic and dense. This difference is deceiving though because, as Alexandre says, his wines are pure expressions of his terroir and the Sauvignon Blanc variety, nothing added and nothing taken away. While it shares the signature Bain hallmarks of floral notes (hawthorn and acacia) and yellow fruit, the 2022 Terre d’Obus tends toward a more vibrant saline finish. If you haven't tried his wines, start with this wine. It is approachable and zesty.
