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.

In addition to studies on the edaphic and landscape characteristics of the environment (Dolédec, 1995), the characterization of the physiology of the vine and of parasitism during its vegetative cycle represents an essential component of knowledge and management of the terroirs.

Prove preliminari dl caratterizzazione del vino gutturnio dei colli piacentini

The “GuIturnio dei Colli Piacentini” V.Q.PR.D. results from the vinification of Barbera (55-70%) and Bonarda (30-40%) cultivars, grown in the hilly area of the Piacenza district, identified by the DM 31-07-93 art. 3.
