Application of zoning for wine production, digitalisation and traceability

Abstract

Depuis la création des outils d’amélioration et de suivi de la qualité, le CREDO développe et réalise des zonages de potentialités viticoles.
Le rendu des travaux est synthétisé sur des cartes et constitue une base documentaire.
Certaines communes de grande qualité, dans le souci d’approfondir ces travaux, ont chargé, de 1988 à 1992, le CREDO et le BRGM de réaliser ces études. Les travaux entrepris furent affinés par la réalisation de campagnes d’ouverture de fosses pédologiques et une réflexion sur la méthodologie et la nomenclature en relation avec les syndicats viticoles.
En 2001, le CREDO, à la demande d’une commune et d’une cave, a informatisé ces travaux.
La numérisation de 1797 parcelles réparties sur les 6 communes de Vinsobres, Mirabel, Nyons, Piégon, Valréas et Venterol en utilisant un Système d’Information Géographique et un logiciel de gestion des données a conduit à la mise en œuvre de différentes étapes dont la méthodologie est la suivante :
– Scannérisation des planches cadastrales
– Géoréférencement des plans par rapport aux coordonnées Lambert
– Création de la base de donnée (Communes, Parcelles, Superficie, etc.)
– Numérisation du parcellaire
– Liaison du SIG et de la base de données
– Correction en partenariat avec les professionnels
– Impression des plans au format A4, A3 ou A0.
Ce travail permet de réaliser des cartes thématiques en fonction des besoins de l’utilisateur. Par exemple, le CREDO a réalisé des cartes d’âge des vignes pour gérer la restructuration, des cartes de terroirs d’un cépage pour visualiser différentes nuances au sein d’une unité variétale afin d’élaborer une cuvée Sélection Terroir.
Ainsi les producteurs seront en mesure de gérer au mieux les caractéristiques des raisins entrant dans leurs chais et optimiser leur vinification.
Intérêt de l’étude :
– Disposer d’une base de données géoréférencées, facilitant une mise à jour régulière et fournissant des informations parfaitement compatibles avec les logiciels de traçabilité.
– Permettre une visualisation graphique d’un parcellaire, avec toutes les implications de gestion et de marketing que cela implique.
– Optimisation des apports et meilleure gestion de l’élaboration de cuvées.
– Traçabilité des produits et caractérisation des apports.
– Création de fichiers base de données utilisables par les producteurs à partir des logiciels du commerce.

Since the creation of tools for improving and monitoring quality, the CREDO has been developing and establishing zoning for potential wine producing areas.
The result of the work is summarized on maps and constitutes a documentary basis.
Between 1988 and 1992, certain communes with very high quality have requested the CREDO and the BRGM to carry out these studies with a view to going into further detail in this work. The work done was improved by the carrying out of campaigns to open pedological ditches and deliberations on the methodology and classification terms in conjunction with wine producing associations.
In 2001, the CREDO computerized this work at the request of one commune and one wine producing cellar.
The digitalization of 1797 sections of land spread over the 6 communes of Vinsobres, Mirabel, Nyons, Piégon, Valréas and Venterol using a Geographic Information System and a software program for data management has led to the implementation of various stages whose methodology is as follows:
– Land registry sheets have been scanned
– Drawings have been referenced geographically with relation to the Lambert co-ordinates
– The creation of the data base (Communes, Sections of Land, Area, etc.)
– Digitalisation of the sections of land
– Link between the GIS and the data base
– Correction in partnership with the professionals
– The printing of drawings in A4, A3 or A0 format
– This work has enabled theme maps to be produced depending on the user’s needs. For example, the CREDO has produced maps of the ages of vines in order to manage restructuring and maps of the territories of the grape varieties in order to view various sub­sections within a variety as a whole in order to establish a Cuvée Sélection Terroir.
In this way, producers can optimise the management of the characteristics of the grapes entering their wine- making facilities and their vinification.
Usefulness of the study:
– To dispose of a data base that is referenced geographically, thus making it easier to update it regularly and supplying information that is perfectly compatible with traceability software.
– To enable graphie viewing of sections of land with all the value for management and marketing that that implies.
– The optimisation of contributions and irnproved management of the elaboration of wines.
– Traceability of the products and characterisation of the contributions.
– The creation of data base files that can be used by producers using commercial software.

Quantification of the production of hydrogen peroxide H2O2 during wine oxidation

Chemical studies aiming at assessing how a wine reacts towards oxidation usually focus on the characterization of wine constituents, such as polyphenols, or oxidation products. As an alternative, the key oxidation intermediate hydrogen peroxide H2O2 has never been quantified, although it plays a pivotal role in wine oxidation. H2O2 is obtained from molecular oxygen as the result of a first cascade of oxidation reactions involving metal ions and polyphenols. The produced H2O2 then reacts in a second cascade of oxidation to produce reactive hydroxyl radicals that can attack almost any chemical substrate in wine.

Photoprotective extracts from agri-food waste to prevent the effect of light in rosé wines 

Light is responsible for adverse reactions in wine including the formation of unpleasant flavors, loss of vitamins or photodegradation of anthocyanins. Among them, the riboflavin degradation leads to the formation of undesirable volatile compounds, known as light-struck taste. These photo-chemical reactions could be avoided by simply using opaque packaging. However, most rosé wines are kept in transparent bottles due to different commercial reasons. Some agri-food waste extracts have been studied for their photoprotective action which turn to be highly correlated with phenolic content [1].

NEW INSIGHTS INTO VOLATILE SULPHUR COMPOUNDS SCALPING ON MICROAGGLOMERATED WINE CLOSURES

The evolution of wine during bottle ageing has been of great interest to ensure consistent quality over time. While the role of wine closures on the amount of oxygen is well-known [1], closures could also play other roles such as the scalping phenomenon of flavour compounds. Flavour scalping has been described as the sorption of flavour compounds by the packaging material, which could result in losses of flavour intensity. It has been reported in the literature that volatile sulphur compounds (VSC) can be scalped on wine closures depending on the type of closure (traditional and agglomerated cork, screw-cap, synthetic [2]).
