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. Balancing chalky minerality and aromatic richness, this cuvée is perfect for both aperitifs and meals, where it will enhance delicate dishes.

The making of the champagne Le Terroir (2021 harvest) 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. This chalky soil brings remarkable mineral tension and finesse.

The vinification relies on a subtle mix of techniques:

• 80% of the wines are vinified in stainless steel tanks 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) age in vats, ensuring a unique stylistic signature.

The champagne is disgorged with a low dosage of 1.6 g/L, thus 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 and humid spring gave way to a milder summer, yielding grapes with superb aromatic concentration. On the terroir of Verzy, the chalky freshness and purity of the fruit are beautifully expressed in this cuvée. This cuvée is based largely on the 2021 harvest, complemented by reserve wines from previous harvests.
