Présentation d’une méthodologie de caractérisation des terroirs et valorisation par l’étude de l’effet terroir sur la typicité et l’originalité du produit vin dans la région des Côtes du Rhône

Abstract

In the global economic context, an Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée must now more than ever control the typicity and originality of the wines it produces. It is in this spirit that the Côtes du Rhône have decided to acquire the means necessary for this control. As a preamble, it should be noted that as a professional entity, the Syndicat des Vignerons des Côtes du Rhône aims to develop a methodology for applying terroir studies to the promotion of the wine product. Thus, for all the purely fundamental aspects concerning the characterization of the terroirs, our wish is to surround ourselves with the competence of research partners, specialized in the matter.
Our own objective is to provide winegrowers with tools that allow them to better control the typicality of their product, by optimizing the development of the potential of their vineyard.

The methodology that we have developed to control the typicality of products through the terroir effect breaks down into three main components: – the characterization of the fundamental components of the nature of the terroirs,
– the study of the impact of the effect of the terroir on the physiology of the plant and especially on the typicity of the wine produced,
– the organization within the production units of all the elements of control and management of the viticultural parameters for the optimization of the oenological phase.

The socioclimatic dynamics and the table grape production during a long-drought: the case of Brazilian semiarid

In 2022, the area cultivated with grapes in Brazil counted 75 thousand ha. About 1/2 of the grape production is located in rio grande do sul state, in South Brazil. Nonetheless, the northeast region, especially the Sao Francisco River Valley (SFRV), is increasing its area and production, mainly pushed by table grapes. The states of bahia and pernambuco already respond for circa 1/3 of brazilian grape production.

The effect of Nitrogen and Sulphur foliar applications in hot climates

ine nitrogen deficiency can negatively influence the aroma profile and ageing potential of white wines. Canopy management can alter vine microclimate, affect the nitrogen availability and influence the response of leaf senescence. Increasing the nitrogen availability to vines can increase the Yeast Assimilable Nitrogen (YAN) levels in harvested fruit and wine. Studies show that foliar nitrogen and sulphur applications at véraison, on low YAN Sauvignon blanc grapes have an effect on the level of amino acids (Jreij et al. 2009) and on S-containing compounds such as glutathione and thiols (Lacroux et al. 2008), which in turn can influence the formation of major volatiles and the aroma profile of the wine.

Projections of vine phenology and grape composition of Tempranillo variety In Rioja DOCa (Spain) under climate change

Aims: Some of the most direct effects of climate variability on grapevines are the changes in the onset and timing of phenological events and in the length of the growing season, which may affect grape quality. The aim of this research was to analyze the projected changes in vine phenology and on grape composition of the Tempranillo variety in Rioja DOCa under different climate change scenarios.
