Observatoire Grenache en Vallée du Rhône: incidence du terroir sur certains précurseurs d’arômes et substances volatiles

Abstract

As observed in other grape varieties, Red Grenache juice contains low level of volatiles. The main flavor compounds are ” Iock up “as flavorless glycoconjugates which could generate at the wine pH volatile flavorants and constitute the varietal aroma of this cultivar. Red Grenache berries from 5 vineyards of the 1995-1997 vintages were analysed using absorption on resin XAD2, and identification with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. This paper reports nine volatile aglycons released from glycoconjugates, selected for their sensorial properties using GC-olfactometry. MANOVA and factorial discriminant analysis was used to show the relationships between vintage and vineyard effects and the varietal aromatic potential of the Red Grenache cultivar.

The colour pattern of flower arrangements influence wine tasters’ sensory description

The arrangements of flowers and wine counterparts are inextricably linked. Whether a fundamental aspect of tablescaping or acolytes to broader entertainment rituals, they have an entangled history since ancient times. The aim of this contribution is to verify the influence of visually delicate and robust flower arrangements on individual description of wines. Changes in the sensory description of wines were investigated during subjects’ (thirty-two participants) exposure to three different conditions: the presence of delicate, robust, or totally absent flower arrangements.
