Typologie des paysages de vigne: un outil de planification

Abstract

La culture de la vigne dessine un paysage rural original. En effet, de par ses qualités physiologiques, ses exigences agronomiques et les techniques qu’elle requiert, elle est à l’origine d’un portrait de nature sculpté, architecturé, parfois même comparé à l’art des jardins. A ce que l’on pourrait le cas échéant qualifier d’« art involontaire » (Clément 1999) est associé l’image mythique du nectar qu’elle secrète : le vin. Ce paysage et son produit sont tous deux la résultante d’un long apprivoisement entre les hommes et la nature, traduit par un produit et un paysage très ouvragés.
Puisque les lieux et les hommes sont différents à l’échelle de la planète, les paysages de vigne déclinent également leur diversité au travers d’identités multiples. L’approche plastique de ce paysage permet néanmoins de dégager un dénominateur commun à leur perception, ainsi que quelques grands types originaux.
L’objectif est celui d’apporter un outil supplémentaire à la reconnaissance et à la décision de classement des paysages viticoles.

Adapting Portuguese vineyards to climate change: impact of different irrigation regimes on phenolic composition

Climate change has led to increased extreme weather events, such as severe droughts and intense rainfall, with regions like Alentejo and Algarve in Portugal, being particularly affected.

Analysis of voltammetric fingerprints of different white grape musts reveals genotype-related oxidation patterns

Must oxidation is a complex process involving multiple enzymatic transformations, including the oxidation of phenolics containing an ortho-diphenol function. The latter process has a primary influence on wine aroma characteristics and stability, due to the central role of ortho-diphenols in the non-enzymatic oxidative reactions taking place during winemaking and in finished wine. Although oxidation of must is traditionally avoided, in recent years its contribution to wine quality has been revisited, and in some cases improvements to wine aroma have been observed with the application of controlled must oxidation. Nowadays there is a great interest in the wine industry towards the identification of specific markers or patterns to characterize and classify the response of grape must to oxidation.

Reasoning a Terroir policy on the basis of the prospective study of the French wine sector

The prospective study of the French wine sector (Sebillotte et al., 2004) has identified “groups of micro-scenarios” at the end of the analysis of the characteristics of this wine sector.

The estimation of the clear-sky effective PAR resources in a mountain area

Irrigation of vineyards is a matter of controversial arguments at areas of high quality wine production. Besides, the effects of the water in the plant are closer related to the water availability than to the irrigation regime.

Ugni blanc berry and wine composition impacted by thirteen rootstocks

The Cognac region is expanding, driven by the success of its renowned brandy and the demand for high grape yields to ensure a steady supply of base wine for distillation. Ugni blanc, the most widely planted grape variety, relies on rootstocks for soil and climate adaptation, providing essential nutrient supplies to the scion. Understanding the impact of rootstocks on key berry components, such as sugars and nitrogen compounds, is crucial. These compounds serve as primary precursors for the production of fermentative aroma metabolites, which, in turn, act as quality indicators for eau-de-vie.
