Territoires et zones viticoles. Aspects climatiques, pédologiques, agronomiques. Caractérisation des terroirs viticoles: une étude systémique

Abstract

On assiste actuellement à l’émergence d’une demande sociale forte à l’égard de fonctions par ailleurs traditionnelles de l’agriculture, qui concernent la gestion des ressources du milieu, le maintien d’un tissu social rural, la valorisation des territoires ruraux et l’entretien des paysages.
L’intérét suscité amène à préciser comment se pose aujourd’hui à la recherche, la question de la gestion des territoires ruraux. En effet, les impératifs de la production agricole, les phénomènes de déprise et les directives européennes et mondiales relatives à la protection de l’environnement, conduisent à analyser précisément le métier et la fonction d’agriculteur et du vigneron en l’occurrence.
Je pense que les conclusions d’un tel colloque feront non seulement émettre une réflexion, mais surtout apporteront des éléments de réponse, pour une prise en compte réelle de la gestion des territoires (ce qui nécessite bien entendu des méthodologies de délimitation ou de zonage).
La diversité des champs disciplinaires concernés, des méthodologies mises en oeuvre, des partenaires impliqués, montre bien l’ampleur et la complexité d’une réflexion à laquelle souhaitent s’associer les acteurs de développement local, les décideurs, les professionnels de l’agriculture, de la viticulture et des structures de transformation, mais aussi plus largement les consommateurs.
La qualité s’élabore tout au long d’un processus. Ceci sollicite des compétences variées en agronomie, en création variétale, en technologie … Une telle approche de la qualité des produits peut constituer un principe fédérateur puissant, dans un contexte où le pilotage de la consommation par l’aval en fait un élément déterminant de la compétitivité des filières et de leur diversification.

Carbon isotope discrimination in berry juice sugars: changes in response to soil water deficits across a range of vitis vinifera cultivars

In wine producing regions around the world, climate change has the potential to decrease the frequency and amount of precipitation and increase average and extreme temperatures. This will lower soil water availability and increase evaporative demand, thereby increasing the frequency and intensity of water deficit experienced in vineyards. Among other things, grapevines manage water deficit by regulating stomatal closure. The dynamics of this regulation, however, have not been well characterized across the range of Vitis vinifera cultivars. Providing a method to understand how different cultivars regulate their stomata, and hence water use in response to changes in soil water deficits will help growers manage vineyards and select plant material to better meet quality and yield objectives in a changing climate.

La producción vitivinícola como fuente de impactos positivos en el medio seminatural

Wine is at risk of being labelled as a dangerous health product, based on studies that focus on its alcohol content. However, multiple studies suggest that moderate consumption is healthy. Changing the focus from health impacts to the environmental and socioeconomic impacts that wine companies cause, what can be said?

“Terroir” and grape and wine quality of native grape variety Istrian Malvasia

Viticulture and wine production have a historical tradition in Istria. First written document of vine cultivation in this area date since antiquity. The most wide spread vine variety in Istria is Istrian Malvasia (white variety), and it capture about 60% of total vineyard surface in Istria today.

Geological characterization of plot belonging to the left bank terraces terroir of the Gaillac vineyard (Tarn, Midi-Pyrénées). Consequences on determination of choice of vegetative material

Detailed geological analyses of a plot belonging to the « AOC Gaillac » area have been carried out. This plot belongs to the left bank terraces of the Tarn River which coinciding with one of the three main terroirs of the AOC area. It is localised on the rissian-aged (≈ 200 000 yrs B.P.)

Cultivation of grapes Chardonnay in soils with management practices biodynamic and conventional

The cultivation of grapes, can be accomplished with the use of different systems and practices of agricultural management, the choice of the system to be followed in the vineyard, depends on the conditions of available resources, these being: natural, economic, social, cultural and territorial. As well, it is relevant to know the characteristics of the soil of the vineyard. In the last decade, has been recurrent use of agricultural practices which date back to milinares traditions, with the aim of promoting a recovery of soil and lead the management of cultivation with less damage to the ecosystem. The study here, aimed to quantify the environmental impacts caused in the use of nutrients in conventional tillage and of grapes in the biodynamic agricultural properties in the state of Rio Grande do Sul- Brazil.
