Étude de l’adaptation des cépages Muscat à petits grains et Muscat d’Alexandrie dans l’A.O.C. Muscat de Rivesaltes

Abstract

L’A.O.C. Muscat de Rivesaltes prévoit l’utilisation de 2 cépages Muscats : le Muscat à petits grains (M.P.G) et le Muscat d’Alexandrie (M.A).
A la demande du Syndicat de l’A.O.C. Muscat de Rivesaltes et avec la participation de l’I.N.A.O., la Station VitiVinicole a mis en place une étude pour connaître l’adaptation de ces 2 cépages en fonction des différents terroirs de l’A.O.C. Muscat de Rivesaltes.
L’étude d’un échantillon de V.D.N. muscats, par cépage, sur plusieurs millésimes, à partir des même caves, nous permet de juger des qualités aromatiques de chacun de ces 2 cépages.
Les arômes sont mesurés:
(1) Par chromatographie en phase gazeuse (C.P.G.) des principaux alcools terpéniques : linalol, nérol, géraniol.
(2) A l’analyse sensorielle par une note sur la qualité d’ensemble.

Energy optimization of the Charmat-Martinotti refermentation process

The european union has estimated that energy consumption for wine production is about 1,750 million kwh per year, of which 500 million kwh is attributable to italy. In recent years, Italy has emerged as the world’s leading wine producer with about 50 million hectoliters per year. About 20 percent (9.8 million hectoliters) of Italian wine is marketed after refermentation according to the Charmat-Martinotti method.

Distinguishing of red wines from Northwest China by colour-flavour related physico-chemical indexes

Aim: Northwest China occupies an important position in China’s wine regions due to its superior geographical conditions with dry climate and sufficient sunlight. In this work, we aimed to investigate the physico-chemical colour and flavour characteristics of red wine in Northwest China.

Assessing reserve nitrogen at dormancy for predicting spring nitrogen status in Chardonnay grapevines

Nitrogen (N) supply strongly influences vine productivity and berry composition, matching availability and uptake requirements of vines during the growing season is essential to optimize vine nutrition. The nutritional status of grapevines is commonly assessed by the determination of petiole nutrient concentrations at flowering. The reserve N could also be an earlier indicator for grapevine N status, this work aimed to assess how the petiole levels relate to these perennial N reserves.

Terroir in Tasting: A sensory approach for marketing fine Australian wines of provenance as memorable experiences

Aims: Establishing an image of fine wine through the Geographical Indication (GI) system is of interest to the Australian wine sector. Beyond provenance, the sensory experience of fine wine is often linked to consumption with appropriate foods. For this purpose, studies were undertaken to understand consumer perceptions of what

´Vinho Verde´ wines production from differential fermentation: the role of musts sulphitation as a preservation strategy to keep the musts character

High-volume mass-market white wines production method by means of harvest-deferred fermentation from desulphited musts allows an efficient business management by avoiding the seasonality in wine sector.
