About this wine
A Sauvignon Blanc from Alexandre Bain's biodynamic domaine in Pouilly-Fumé, whole-cluster pressed and aged 20 months on lees split equally between stainless steel and oak foudre, with full malolactic fermentation and zero added sulphites, aromatic, floral, and mineral.
Open 15 minutes before serving.
Tasting notes
Aromatic and floral with lime, ripe yellow fruit, and minerality on the nose. The palate is fruity with honey, blossom, and apple, and a very balanced character that comes from the full malolactic fermentation and extended lees ageing. Bain's wines are Pouilly-Fumé by geography but biodynamic natural wine by philosophy, and this shows exactly what that combination can produce.
Goes with
Fish, grilled white meats, goat's cheese, asparagus, and spring vegetable dishes.

The producer
Alexandre Bain took over his family's Pouilly-Fumé vineyards in 2007, farming biodynamically with horses and making wine with zero added sulphites and no filtration. His wines are among the most honest and compelling expressions of Pouilly-Fumé available, offering a very different perspective on a well-known appellation.
