Summary/Abstract: Terroir is the main element of the convergence of the geographical and human environment with the qualities of a product, establishing the direct link between the qualitative characteristics and the geographical location. A concept of French origin, whose first agrarian connotation is that of "land". We will try in the article a unique legal association with the notion of domicile. A wine with a designation of origin cannot exist in the absence of a terroir, just as an individual is individualized in space through a domicile.
