Description

A true tribute to the Grand Cru terroir of Verzy, the magnum Le Terroir (2021 harvest) by Adrien Renoir is a champagne of exceptional precision. With its chalky minerality and aromatic richness, this cuvée is equally at home as an aperitif or with a meal, where it will enhance delicate dishes.

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

This champagne is the result of a balanced blend of 50% Pinot Noir and 50% Chardonnay, sourced exclusively from the Grand Cru terroir of Verzy, in the Montagne de Reims. The chalky soil brings remarkable mineral tension and finesse.

The winemaking process is based on a subtle blend of techniques:

• 80% of the wines are vinified in stainless steel vats to preserve the purity of the fruit.
• 20% are aged in oak barrels, adding a more complex aromatic dimension.
• The reserve wines (20% of the blend) are aged in large oak casks, guaranteeing a unique stylistic signature.

The champagne is disgorged with a low dosage of 1.6 g/L, revealing the full identity of the terroir and the elegance of the vintage.

The 2021 vintage

The 2021 harvest in Champagne was marked by contrasting weather conditions. A cool, wet spring gave way to a milder summer, producing grapes with superb aromatic concentration. On the Verzy terroir, the chalky freshness and purity of the fruit are beautifully expressed in this cuvée. This cuvée is based on a large proportion of the 2021 harvest, complemented by reserve wines from previous harvests.
