No, distance does matter because American oaks planted in Europe still taste like American oak. If oak was impacted by terroir the American Oak planted in Europe should show flavors closer to the European Oak than American Oak does. As that does not happen it is aafe to say terroir has no impact on oak flavors.

I hate to ask, but did you actually read the article? The word terroir is used twice, both times attributed to the same person.

Terroir is not what the article is about.
