Terroir Expression

Définition

The degree to which a wine reflects its specific growing site.

En Détail

A terroir-expressive wine tastes like it came from somewhere specific rather than anywhere. It carries the imprint of its soil, climate, altitude, and exposure. Burgundy's climat system, where adjacent plots produce distinctly different wines, is the ultimate demonstration. Low-intervention winemaking aims to maximize terroir expression by minimizing winemaker influence.
