Terroirs is a vibrant wine bar in central London. They are proud to source many of their wines from small scale, artisan winemakers. These independent growers often choose traditional methods instead of commercial, producing organic and biodynamic wines that are refreshingly interesting. In style the wines tend to be light-to-medium bodied, fresh (even refreshing), savoury and delicious to drink, but even more delicious with food. They are situated in the heart of the London’s West End, a stone’s throw from Trafalgar Square and adjacent to Charing Cross station.
Funny enough Terroirs is a famous small wine bar and restaurant, that opened it´s doors with almost no publicity, but somehow become the hit of the moment, and everything was done almost entirely through word-of-mouth recommendations. It´s the kind of place you find yourself wanting to tell other people about a little place serving great food and intersesting wines at reasonable prices.
But Terroirs calls itself a wine bar because wine is at the heart of the enterprise. The owners are the Guildford-based wine merchants Caves de Pyrènes, who supply some of Britain’s best restaurants. Now they’re showing their clients how it should be done. The wine list has 25 pages, but the French manager is soon at hand, talking you through the options. Thier objective is to present wines that most sympathetically reflect the place from which they originate, the nature of the vintage itself and the personality of the grower, in short those wines that encapsulate the notion of terroir.
The philosophy of Terroirs is simple, great food and great wine sourced with an eager eye for provenance. It is about the purity of the product, either raised, or grown, with sensitivity and compassion. It is about food and wine which is natural and free of additives and about artisan products that taste simply of their origin. It is about serving food and wine in a fun, friendly and stimulating environment and it is about the people who return to Terroirs and bring with them that sense of enjoyment and pleasure.
