The production of Le Terroir (2021 harvest) by Adrien Renoir

Terroir (2021 harvest) is a blend of 50% Pinot Noir and 50% Chardonnay, two grape varieties emblematic of the Montagne de Reims. These grapes come exclusively from the Grand Cru terroir of Verzy, renowned for its chalky soils that bring minerality and freshness.

The base wines from the 2021 harvest were vinified in stainless steel vats (80%) and oak barrels (20%) to preserve aromatic precision and add a touch of complexity. The reserve wines, which make up 20% of the blend, were aged in large oak casks, perpetuating the estate's identity and style.

This cuvée was disgorged and then lightly dosed: 1.6 g/L. An Extra Brut approach that highlights the purity of the terroir and the elegance of the vintage. The result is a champagne of great precision, both rich and airy.
