Galet's theory of terroir
Galet's theory of terroir emphasizes that the unique combination of soil, climate, landscape, and local practices shape a wine’s or agricultural product’s distinctive character. He believed these natural and human elements interact to influence flavor, aroma, and quality. In essence, terroir is the expression of a specific place’s environment on its produce, making each region’s products unique. Galet’s work highlights how terroir is a vital factor in producing wines with identity and sense of origin, connecting the land’s characteristics to the finished product.
