Outils de caracterisation et zonage des paysages viticoles: application aux vignobles français

Abstract

[English version below]

Un paysage viticole est une relation entre des formes, dimension objective, et la perception que nous en avons, dimension subjective, émotionnelle. La viticulture n’est pas seulement productrice d’un vin, elle contribue également à façonner le paysage. Pourtant, jusqu’à présent, la connaissance des terroirs était principalement basée sur la caractérisation de leur aptitude à produire des vins de qualité.
Une méthodologie d’étude globale du paysage a été validée sur un site pilote champenois durant l’été 2003. Elle associait les acteurs du monde viticole et des collectivités territoriales au développement de la démarche paysagère locale. Elle liait l’étude sensible du paysage à la prise en compte du volet environnemental associé au terroir (ruissellement, érosion, biodiversité…).
L’élaboration de telles méthodologies nécessite la formalisation d’outil de caractérisation et de zonage des paysages viticoles.
Les principales données permettant de caractériser un paysage (cartographie, photos aériennes, données satellites, relevés de terrains bloc diagramme, données économiques …) sont décrites et présentées à partir de cas concrets.
Les principaux outils paysagers d’analyse et de communication, tels les sorties terrains ou un Système d’Information Géographique ont été étudiés.
Au final, l’objectif est de réaliser une « boîte à outils » permettant à différents niveaux d’échelle (national, régional, local) d’alimenter les démarches paysagères et environnementales, associées aux territoires viticoles.

Vineyard landscapes are a relationship between shapes which are objective and the perception that one has of them, which is subjective and emotional. Without this relationship, landscapes cannot exist. Vine farming does not only produce wine, it also contributes to design landscapes. Yet, so far, geographical specificities were essentially based on the characterisation of their ability to produce quality wine.
A comprehensive landscape study methodology was validated on a champagne pilot-site in summer 2003. It associated a sensitive landscape study to the environmental issues (runoff, erosion, biodiversity) and involved vine farmers and the district laborating such a methodology requires to formalise characterisation and zoning tools for vineyards landscapes.
The main landscape characterisation data are described and presented through case studies (cartography, air photographs, satellite data, site measures, economical data).
The main analysis and communication landscape tools, such as geographic information systems and onsite visits were studies. Finally, the aim is to create a tool box allowing vineyard landscape and environmental management on a local, regional and national scale.

Insights into the stable isotope ratio variability of hybrid grape varieties

The wine industry faces the consumer’s increasing demand for a sustainable and environmentally-friendly production [1]. This demand has been shared and boosted by the European Union within the European Green Deal in the Farm to Fork strategy that aims to reduce a 50% the pesticide utilisation in farming systems. Among the agronomical approaches so far proposed, the use of mould resitant hybrid varieties -based on crossings of Vitis vinifera with other Vitis spp [2]- with a high tolerance to the attack of vine patogens is gaining the vinegrowers attention and the production area is continuously increasing

Non-targeted analysis of C13-norisoprenoid aroma precursors in Riesling

Significant wine aroma can be formed from non-volatile precursors that are linked to sugars, including but not limited to grape-derived monoterpene and C13-norisoprenoid glycosides.

Viticultural sites and their valorisation in Istria (Croatia)

Pratiquement tout le territoire d’Istrie possède les bonnes conditions naturelles pour la viticulture, laquelle dans ce lieu a une tradition millénaire. La viticulture était et reste toujours la plus importante branche de production agraire et d’économie. Les sites viticoles en Istrie sont caractérisés par des diverses conditions naturelles.

Climatic zoning and viticulture in Galicia (North West Spain)

Galicia is situated in the NW of the Iberian Peninsula, just north of Portugal and so sharing a mild, maritime climate, certain vine species and a number of long-standing viticultural traditions. In Galicia about 18,000 has are dedicated to wine growing, of which roughly half (46%) correspond to the 6 DOs in the area.

Anthocyanin and trans-resveratrol accumulation is associated with abscisic acid and methyl jasmonicanthocyanin and trans-resveratrol accumulation is acid in berry skin of vitis vinifera L. Cvs. Malbec, Bonarda, Syrah, Cabernet sauvignon, and Pinot noir

Red grapes contain significant amounts of phenolic compounds, known to contribute to wine quality and to provide important health benefits. Berry skin phenolics can be elicited by plant hormones. The aim of this work was to increase the content of anthocyanins and trans-resveratrol in five red varieties cultured in Argentina: Malbec (M), Bonarda (B), Syrah (S), Cabernet Sauvignon (CS), and Pinot Noir (PN), in two different growing regions: Santa Rosa (SR) and Valle de Uco (VU), by applying a post-veraison hormonal treatment with abscisic acid (ABA) and methyl jasmonate (MeJA).
