Domaine Alexandre Bain “Terre d’Obus” VDF is a striking natural expression of 100% Sauvignon Blanc from Pouilly‑Fumé soils. Whole-cluster pressed and fermented in concrete, it’s aged on fine lees, unfiltered and unsulphured, yielding a richly aromatic and mineral-driven white wine reflective of biodynamic hillside vineyards growing on clay-limestone.
