Water status, nitrogen status and leaf area/ crop ratio effect on aromatic potential of vitis viniferaberries : example of Sauvignon blanc

Abstract

[English version below]

Les effets de l’état hydrique et de l’alimentation en azote sur le potentiel aromatique des raisins de Sauvignon blanc ont été mesurés sur des vignobles du Bordelais. Les déficits hydriques ont été caractérisés par le potentiel tige déterminé en milieu de journée ΨTmin)­. L’alimentation en azote a été étudiée à partir d’une zone carencée en azote. Une part de cette zone a été supplémentée avec de l’azote minéral. La teneur en précurseurs cystéinylés des raisins varie avec l’état hydrique de la vigne. Comparés à une alimentation en eau non limitative, les déficits hydriques modérés exercent une influence positive sur la teneur en précurseurs cystéinylés des raisins. La correction de la carence en azote a entraîné une forte augmentation des teneurs en précurseurs cystéinylés et en glutathion dans les baies. Inversement, cet apport d’azote a induit une diminution de la teneur en composés phénoliques Un rapport surface foliaire sur rendement élevé exerce une influence positive sur la teneur en précurseurs cystéinylés des baies.

Water status and nitrogen status influence on berries aromatic potential of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Sauvignon blanc have been surveyed in Bordeaux vineyard. Vine water deficit have been measured with the determination of midday stem water potential. Nitrogen status have been surveyed on the basis of deficient vines. Sorne of the vines have been fertilized with mineral nitrogen. S-cysteine conjugates, precursors of the volatile thiols have been determined. Berries precursors content is under the dependence on vine water status. Moderate water deficits have a positive effect on the berries precursors content. The Correction of the nitrogen deficiency provoked a strong increase of berries precursors and glutathion content, whereas the phenolic content decreased. A high leaf area / crop balance has played a positive influence on the berries precursors content.

Morphological image analysis for determining bunch grape characteristics: A case study on bunch weight in Cabernet-Sauvignon

Morphological image analysis is a powerful technique used in various fields, including agriculture, to quantitatively assess the physical characteristics of objects. In viticulture, the accurate assessment of grapevine characteristics is essential for optimizing crop management and improving the quality of wine production.

Varietal thiol precursors in Trebbiano di Lugana grape and must

Trebbiano di Lugana (TdL) is a white variety of Vitis vinifera mainly cultivated in an Italian area located south near Garda lake (Verona, north of Italy). This grape cultivar, also known as “Turbiana,” is used for the production of TdL wine with recognized Protected Designation of Origin whose volatile profile was recently determined [1]. The presence of varietal thiols in TdL, namely 3-mercaptohexan-1-ol and its acetate form, conferring the tropical and citrus notes, has been documented. Winemaking strategies were also described with the purpose of protecting and maintain these desired aromas [2]. To the best of our knowledge, the varietal thiol precursors (VTPs) were not previously determined in TdL grape and must. This study aimed to quantify VTPs in both grape during the ripening and must during the pressing. Volatile C6 compounds were also measured in the must fractions.

Actual challenges and the need to produce alternative products from red grapes rich in phenols and antioxidants

The global consumption of wine has undergone significant changes after several years of covid-19, which was the beginning of a global crisis of the current century. This pushed some people to start looking for comfort and security as they felt that the world around them was losing these benefits. In most cases, this has led to them to idea of rethinking their lives in an attempt to live better or continuing to stay true to their habits and lifestyles despite the pressure of changes. Alcohol in any form is a part of these reactions, leading to increased consumption in the early stages of a crisis, particularly in relation to anxiety.
