Analyse de la perception du terroir et de sa valorisation par les viticulteurs de l’Anjou

Abstract

An integrated terroir characterization is currently realized in the French northern vineyard: “Anjou”. The concept of Basic Terroir Unit (B.T.U.) and its associated ground model “Rock, Alteration, Alterite” are used in this characterization. This work is coupled to a viticultural survey, based on parcels. These two approaches allow an analysis of the degree of perception of terroir and its valorization by vine growers. This analysis is realized at two scales: the ground model “Rock, Alteration, Alterite” applied in the whole study area and the B. T. U. for the both main geological systems: the metagrauwacke of the brioverian period and the green to grey sandstone schist of the ordovician-devonian period.
At the ground model scale, the vine growers have well differentiated the three environments by mesoclimatic (temperature of air, risk of frost), pedoclimatic (temperature and humidity of soil) and pedologic criteria. They have perceived also influences of the environment type on the behavior of the vine and integrated them in their viticultural and oenological practices. The analysis at B.T.U. scale, confirms the pertinence of the ground model “Rock, Alteration, Alterite” on the perception of pedoclimatic and pedologic characteristics and an important influence of the geological system on the mesoclimate of the parcel and on the vine behavior.

Microclimatic differences in fruit zone of vineyards on different elevations of ‘nagy-eged hill’ in eger wine region, Hungary

The Bull’s Blood of Eger (‘Egri Bikavér’) is one of the most reputed red wines in Hungary and abroad, produced in the Northeastern part of the country.

Evaluation of a biological foliar fertilization system, in the production, agronomic and quality characteristics of three wine grape varieties

Evaluation of the fertility management practices in wine grape varieties production. Wine grape represents one of the most important productions in Greece with major impact to the socioeconomic characteristics of the country. The objective of this study is to evaluate, with the support of Geospatial Technologies, the potential effects of an innovative foliar fertilizer system, which is composed of three parts: a mineral fertilizer in a micronized formulation, a biostimulant as an enhancing factor of the process and, an amino acid compound (SANOVITA concept). The study was established at a collaborative, private vineyard, in the area of Trilofos-Thessaloniki, at the region of Northern Greece.

Development and application of CRISPR/Cas in grapevine

The development and application of CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)/Cas (CRISPR-associated protein) technologies have revolutionized genome editing in plants due to its simplicity, high efficiency, and versatility. As an economically important fruit crop worldwide, grapevine genome editing using CRISPR/Cas technologies has also been reported these years. Here we introduce the development briefly of the most popular CRISPR/Cas9 system and also the state-of-the-art CRISPR technologies developed so far. Moreover, we summarize CRISPR/Cas9-mediated applications for gene functional study and trait improvement in grapevine.

Foam characteristics of white, rosé and red sparkling wines elaborated by the champenoise method

Contribution Foam is the characteristic that differentiates sparkling wines from still wines, being the first sensory attribute that tasters and consumers perceive and that determines the final quality of sparkling wines [1]. The foaming properties mainly depend on the chemical composition of wines [2-3], and different factors involved in wine composition will have an effect on foam quality. In Spain, the sparkling wine market focuses on the production of white and rosé sparkling wine, with very low production of red sparkling wines. However, this type of wines is elaborated in countries like Australia, South-Africa, Argentina, Italy or Portugal, with a great acceptance by consumers. No studies on the foaming characteristics of red sparkling wines have been found.

Identification of compounds produced by reactions of flavonoids and acetaldehyde in wine

During aging, wine consumes small amounts of oxygen. This oxygen intake triggers a series of reactions that lead to flavonoid elongation, which is known to reduce bitterness and astringency while enhancing color stability.
