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.

What do we know about the kerosene/petrol aroma in riesling wines?

1,1,6-Trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene (TDN) is a controversial aroma component found in Riesling wines. It belongs to the family of C13-norisoprenoids and is mainly associated with kerosene/petrol notes. TDN can add complexity to the wine aroma at medium – low concentrations and deteriorate the wine bouquet when its content is high. No TDN aromas are usually perceived in young Riesling wines, but they can appear after several years of aging due to the gradual formation of TDN. Management of TDN in Riesling wines is an actual task, since global warming can promote formation of this compound and compromise the aromatic composition of wine. Therefore, the aim of the current work was, firstly, to study the sensory particularities of TDN in Riesling wine at various concentrations. Secondly, to investigate the ability of bottle closures to absorb (scalp) TDN from Riesling wine under various storage conditions. These studies also include the comparative assessment of our findings with previously published data. METHODS: sensory analysis, GC-MS (SBSE), HPLC,1H-NMR and other methods related to the synthesis and determination of TDN. RESULTS: First of all, the method of the synthesis of highly purified TDN (95% and 99.5%) was optimized [1].

Study of grape plant behaviour (cv. Chasselas) on various “terroirs” of the Vaud county (Switzerland)

L’étude du comportement physiologique et agronomique de la vigne (cv. Chasselas) a été réalisée en 2001 par la Station fédérale de recherches en production végétale de Changins sur divers terroirs viticoles vaudois (Suisse), dans le cadre d’un projet d’étude des terroirs viticoles vaudois en collaboration avec le bureau I LETESSIER (SIGALES) à Grenoble et l’École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL).

New fungus-resistant grapevine varieties display high and drought-independent thiol precursor levels

The use of varieties tolerant to diseases is a long-term but promising option to reduce chemical input in viticulture. Several important breeding programs in Europe and abroad are starting to release a range of new hybrids performing well regarding fungi susceptibility and wine quality.

Terroir and precision viticulture: are they compatible?

The concept of terroir or sense of place is almost as old as the wine industry. It is generally used as an all-encompassing term to reflect the effects of the biophysical environment in which grapes and their resultant wines are produced on the character of those wines. Historically, terroir has generally been considered at the regional or property scale.

Composition of grape grown on different Homogenous Terroir Units (HTU)

One cultivar could produce distinct wines with typical properties and qualities different depending on its cultivated and its mesoclimatic conditions.
