Techniques of delimitation in France

Abstract

La pratique de la délimitation des aires des Appellations d’Origine Contrôlées françaises découle de la définition de la notion de terroir en Appellation. Ainsi la délimitation d’une appellation se base sur des arguments qui dépendent de son lien au terroir. Elle permet de définir l’aire de production à l’intérieur de laquelle un produit pourra se prévaloir de cette appellation, et éventuellement les différentes zones affectées aux différentes phases de production (exemple : délimitation parcellaire).

Effects of soil and climate on wine style in the Breede River Valley of South Africa: Sauvignon blanc and Cabernet-Sauvignon

Les effets du sol et du climat sur le style de vin ont été évalués pour des vignes irriguées à deux endroits différents de la vallée de la Breede, en Afrique du Sud. L’un des 2 endroits est cependant plus froid que l’autre, principalement en raison de températures nocturnes plus basses.

Ethyl esters interact with the major wine Thaumatin Like Protein VVTL1

The interactions among aromatic compounds and proteins is an important issue for the quality of foods and beverages. In wine, the loss of flavor after vinification is associated to bentonite treatment and this effect can be the result of the removal of aroma compounds which are bound wine proteins. This phenomenon was recently demonstrated for long chain fatty acids and their ethyl esters (1). Since these latter compounds are spectroscopically silent, their association with proteins is not easy to measure.

A tool for catching mice in wine: development and application of a method for the detection of mousy off-flavour compounds in wine

Know thy enemy: oxygen or storage temperature?

It is well known that high oxygen levels and high ageing temperatures are detrimental to white wine’s composition and ageing capacity. However, these results, though valuable

Investigation on harvesting period choices for correct interpretation of experimental results

Happens too often in scientific papers to find the same harvesting period of a cultivar, although the used treatment influence a maturity curve of investigated thesis.
This inevitably leads to wrong conclusions when comparing the treatment effects, since obtained on maturity stages more or less far from those technologically correct.
