Virgile Joly Bourret Tasting Notes by Wine Expert, David Andrews, DipWSET
Naked have some very interesting wines indeed. Bourret is perhaps better known as Terret Gris, although this still is largely unknown. Its main appeal is full bodied wines with the crispness of flavour you tend to get from lighter grapes like Pinot Grigio or Vermentino. There is also a touch of Picpoul in there to add some acidity and even more citrus. It was one fresh wine. Light and bright on the palate, zipping along the tongue and despite seeming at first simple, it develops more and more complexity with each sip. Expect lemon, lime, sherbet, nettle and a saline, slightly bitter finish. A strong mineral, shell-like undertone pervaded throughout the wine as well as an earthiness. All in all it was really interesting and delicious.
