Caroline Bain
Pouilly-Fumé · Loire · France
After years of working alongside her renowned biodynamic winemaker husband Alexandre Bain, Caroline Bain decided to make her own wine. Alexandre and Caroline Bain have always defied convention, using biodynamic principles to capture the purity and depth of Sauvignon Blanc.
“Alexandre frequently clashes with the Pouilly-Fumé appellation as a result, labelling his wines as Vin de France.”
Caroline shares the same mentality as her husband, crafting wines that are equally, if not more, profound and characteristic of the region and soil. Caroline cultivates 2.5 hectares of Sauvignon Blanc vines across two plots in Tracy-sur-Loire, within the Pouilly-Fumé AOC, but labels her wines as Vin de France to maintain her winemaking freedom. It's ironic that leaving the appellation system offers innovative winemakers the creative freedom they seek.In her first bottle, Caroline follows a similar trend to her husband, giving her Sauvignons a ripe profile, while still adding her own unique touch.
