Terre Bourret is a distinctive grape variety prized for its expressive and nuanced profile. On the nose, it reveals layers of ripe orchard fruits such as pear and golden apple, complemented by delicate floral notes of acacia and subtle hints of almond. The palate showcases a harmonious balance of freshness and roundness, with medium acidity lending precision to generous fruit flavours. Hints of honeycomb, white pepper and a touch of salinity add complexity, culminating in a lingering, mineral-driven finish.
Primarily cultivated in select pockets of south-western France, the Terre Bourret grape thrives in limestone-rich soils and temperate, maritime climates, contributing to its signature vibrancy and depth.
Typical wine styles produced from Terre Bourret include aromatic dry whites, occasionally blended for texture, as well as limited-production barrel-aged expressions that highlight its capacity for ageing and development in bottle.
Recommended food pairings centre around light to medium-bodied dishes that echo the grape's freshness and texture. Terre Bourret pairs beautifully with shellfish, pan-seared scallops, grilled sea bass, or herb-roasted chicken. Soft cheeses such as brie or goat’s cheese also complement its gentle acidity and aromatic complexity.
