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.

Molecular cloning and characterization of UDP-glucose: furaneol glucosyltransferase gene from Japanese

2,5-Dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3(2H)-furanone (furaneol) is an important aroma compound in fruits, such as pineapple and strawberry, and is reported to contribute to the strawberry-like note in some wines. Several grapevine species are used in winemaking, and furaneol is one of the characteristic aroma compounds in wines made from American grape (Vitis labrusca) and its hybrid grape, similar to methyl anthranilate. Muscat Bailey A is a hybrid grape variety [V. labrusca (Bailey) x V. vinifera (Muscat Hamburg)], and its wine is one of the most popular in Japan. The inclusion of Muscat Bailey A in the ‘International List of Vine and Varieties and their Synonyms’ managed by the ‘International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV)’ in 2013 has further fueled its popularity among winemakers and researchers worldwide.

Influence of the number of CPPU applications on growth, mineral composition and Bunch Stem Necrosis incidence in table grape clusters

The forchlorfenuron (CPPU) application is recommended in table-grape after fruit-set to boost berry sizing, albeit growers also apply CPPU during pre-flowering with controversial advantages. We examined the effect of single (BBCH 15) and double (BBCH 15 and 57) CPPU applications (2.25 mg/L a.s.) in a commercial vineyard. At each time, 75-100 bunches belonging to 6-9 vines were sprayed, and compared with unsprayed (CTRL). Leaf stomatal conductance (gs), cluster stem diameter and length were measured. At harvest, 25 berries/repetition were sampled for chemical composition, BSN incidence was counted (N° necrotic laterals/10 cm of stem) in 40 bunches/repetition. To test the role of air VPD on mineral composition, at BBCH 77, 50 CTRL clusters were bagged to induce a low VPD.

EXPLORING RED WINE TYPICITY OF CORBIÈRES: EVALUATION OF THE DEGREE OF IMPACT OF VINIFICATION PROCESS ON THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION AND ORGANOLEPTIC PROPERTIES OF WINES FROM DIFFERENT TERROIR

It is important nowadays for wine producers to create a product that is an expression of their terroir, a concept including the interaction between a place (topography, climate, soil), the people (tradition, winemaking and viticultural practices) and the resulting product (grape varieties, wines) [1]. Nonetheless, wine’s typicity linked to those terroirs must be easily recognizable by consumers thanks to distinctive sensory characters and composition [2]. Among the compounds of interest, aromatic compounds and polyphenols play an important role in the quality of red wines, by impacting on the odour, color and astringency. To explore the influence of terroir factors, including climate, soil and human practices, on the chemical and sensory profile of wines, red wines from five terroirs of the Corbières appellation were subjected to a general study approach.

How to improve the mouthfeel of wines obtained by excessive tannin extraction

Red wines felt as astringent and bitter generally show high content of tannins due to grape phenolic compounds’ extraction in the maceration process. Among different enological practices, mannoproteins have been shown to improve the mouthfeel of red wines (1) and the color (2,3). In this work, we evaluated the effect of mannoproteins on the mouthfeel profile of Sangiovese wines obtained by excessive tannin extraction.
