tbh the english wikipedia article seems to lend "terroir" a meaning that it doesn't have in french: it's not really used to "describe the environmental factors that affect a crop's phenotype". It refers to a region and the practices/traditions of the people living there, particularly for agricultural products. It doesn't have much deeper meaning than "traditional production of Devon" (or whatever other place): it _implies_ that the environment is important but it's not really what it _means_.
