Conduite en Lys: résultats pendant la formation du système avec le cépage Loureiro dans la région des “Vinhos Verdes”

Abstract

[English version below]

Dans la région des “Vinhos Verdes” les études sur les systèmes de conduite de la vigne sont très importantes et beaucoup de travaux ont été faits pendant les dernières années. Cet essai, avec la nouvelle conduite Lys, a été installé en 1996 dans la Station Vitivinicole Amândio Galhano (EVAG) située au nord-ouest du Portugal. Les résultats presentés se rapportent dans les deux premiéres années de formation du système Lys: 1998 et 1999.
On étudie huit clones du cépage Loureiro gréffés sur deux porte-greffes: 101-14 et 1103P. La densité de plantation est de 3.333 ceps par hectare (3,0 m x 1,0 m). Deux niveaux de charge ont été appliqués: C1 = 9.999 vs C2 = 19.998 bourgeons/ha en 1998 et C1 = 33.330 vs C2 = 46.662 bourgeons/ha en 1999.
En ce qui concerne la conduite des jeunes souches, il est très important le choix des unités permanentes (bras et épaules) pendant le développement végétatif, en sélectionnant les sarments les plus vigoureux et les plus bien placés.
Le plus bas niveau de charge en 1998 (C1 = 9.999) fut insuffisant en provoquant des sarments trop vigoureux et conséquemment un pourcentage élevé de sarments cassés, tandis que, le plus haut niveau de charge en 1999 (C2= 46.662) a provoqué des rendements significativement plus élevés mais accompagnés de pertes de qualité du moût. Le système Lys a revélé précocement un élevé potentiel de rendement et qualité (2-3 ans). D’ autre part, le porte-greffe 101-14 dans ce cépage et dans ce système a été au-dessus du porte-greffe 1103P soit au niveau du rendement soit au niveau de la qualité.

In the ‘Vinhos Verdes’ region the studies about vine training systems are very importants and many works were made in the last years. This research, with the new system Lys, was installated in 1996 at the ‘Amândio Galhano Viticulture Station’ in the north-west of Portugal. The results were carried out in the formation system period: 1998-1999.
We are studing eight clones of Loureiro grapevine grefted onto two rootstocks varieties: 101-14 and 1103P. The plants are arranged according to the rectangular plan of 3,0 m x 1,0 m (3.333 plants/ha) and the bud loads were: C1 = 9.999 vs C2 = 19.998 buds/ha in 1998 and C1 = 33.330 vs C2 = 46.662 buds/ha in 1999.
In the formation period, it is very important the choice of the permanent unities during the vegetal development, making a selection about the most vigorous and the best placed shoots.
The lowest bud load in 1998 (C1=9 999) was insufficient making a very vigorous shoots and consecutively many shoots broken by the wind; on the other hand, the highest bud load in 1999 (C2 = 46 662) showed significantly higher yields and lower must weights. Also, the rootstock variety 101-14 was better than 1 103P variety in the yield and quality levels. The training system Lys showed un early produce and quality potential.

Phloem anatomy traits predict maximum sugar accumulation rates

Heat and water stress can accelerate berry sugar accumulation and lead to excessive sugar-to-acid ratios at harvest, producing bland, overly-alcoholic wines. Selecting grapevines for slower sugar accumulation could help maintain wine quality under future, hotter conditions, but these efforts have been stymied by our limited understanding of the traits determining sugar accumulation rates. Here, we measured traits characterizing the structure and anatomy of the sugar transport system – the phloem – in 16 winegrape cultivars and tested for relationships with sugar accumulation rates and cultivar climate classifications.

Study of the sensory dimension of the wine typicality related to a terroir and crossing with their viticultural and oenological characteristics

The typicality of a product can be characterized by properties of similarity in relation to a type, but also by the properties of distinction.

Barrels ad-hoc: Spanish oak wood classification by NIRs 

The wooden barrel is a key factor in enology, since wine chemical composition and sensory properties changes significantly in contact with the barrel[1]. Today’s highly competitive market constantly demands new differentiated products and wineries search innovations continuously.
Wood selection is crucial: barrels stability to keep constant their contribution and the result on products, and additional and differentiated wood contributions to impact their new products. Oak wood selection has traditionally been carried out using parameters such as specie, location and grain, however, it goes one step further nowadays. Large cooperage work with non-destructive techniques that allow classifying oak wood quickly and easily according to their organoleptic contribution[2].

Recognition of terroir in american viticultural areas

Un’ Area di Viticultura Americana, detta AVA, è una regione vinicola delimitata ed è dis­tinguibile da caratteristiche geografiche i cui confini sono stati definiti da regolamenti. Il sistema AVA rappresenta un ‘accettazione del concetto di terroir (terreno), come dimostra­no gli studi che confermano il carattere regionale dei vini AVA e dalla sviluppo di sub­denominazioni più relazionate al terreno.

Identification of key-odorants in Sauternes Wines

The aim of the present work was to investigate Sauternes wines aromas. The flavor profiles of two wines (vintages 2002 and 2003) were investigated. Key-odorants have been determined by AEDA applied to Amberlite XAD-2 resin extracts. Various complementary techniques were used to identify the compounds (pHMB extraction, chemical synthesis of non-commercial standards, co-injections on two capillary columns, odor description at the sniffing port, GC-MS and GC-PFPD).
