Article Abstract:
The debate over whether terroir having funky, barnyards aromas is a good thing or an undesirable flaw for which some have a higher tolerance than others, is presented. The purest expression of terroir is often thought to be Pinot Noir in Burgundy, but it might be best showcased in German Riesling, where vintners eschew oak entirely and the soil speaks most freely.
