What is a terroir? Is it the soil, the sub-soil, the climate, the exposure to the sun? It is definitely all of the above at once, but one essential element must not be forgotten: the winemaker.
Indeed, through our growing methods, we influence the quality of our harvests. We are an integral part of the terroir.
