Pouilly Fumé winemaker to fight INAO over right to use AOC

A leading proponent of biodynamic and natural-winemaking in Pouilly-Fumé will take the national institute for appellations – or INAO – to court, over its decision to strip him of his right to an AOC. Alexandre Bain of Domaine Alexandre Bain in the Loire appellation of Pouilly-Fumé received a letter from the INAO last week ‘definitively’ revoking the right to label his wines AOC Pouilly-Fumé.
