Alexandre Bain, champion of the Pouilly-Fumé area, offers us yet another excellent Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire. With his “Terre d’Obus” cuvée, he offers a particularly intense white wine with a rich and precise nose, featuring notes of grated apple, iridescent terpene nuances, hints of candied fruit, and just the right amount of pungency that enlivens the aromatic palette. The palate is fine and generous, with a sensation of glycerine softness that enhances the mouthfeel. The finish is built on tension and an elegantly bitter finish. A great white wine from still-young vines (15 years old), grown on a clay-loam-sandy terroir, and aged for 24 months in used barriques.

The freshness and intense aroma of small red fruits make it very inviting, while the balsamic and aromatic herb notes add complexity and depth to the bouquet.
