Un Système d’Informations à Références Spatiales sur le Vignoble. Un outil performant d’aide aux recherches sur la caractérisation des terroirs viticoles

Abstract

The “Terroirs d’Anjou” project led by the Agronomy sector of the Vine and Wine Research Unit of the INRA center in Angers aims to characterize the viticultural terroirs in a study area which includes 29 municipalities in the Maine et Loire and cuts across the Anjou, Coteaux du layon and Coteaux de l’Aubance appellation areas.

The research methodology on viticultural terroirs developed by UVV revolves around two main themes:
– A characterization of terroirs in the field which consists of collecting information relating to the physical components of the environment. Observations on geology, soils and landscapes thus form the basis of the study. This step is similar to a cartographic survey
– A survey conducted among winegrowers in each of the 29 municipalities. This survey is intended to integrate human factors within the study, and to study the possibilities of use as an experimental tool for highlighting the terroir effect. The questionnaire focuses on the behavior of the vine, winemaking, knowledge and empirical management of the terroirs by the winegrower.

This study therefore entails a large volume of information which must be managed in an optimal way to facilitate their processing, while preserving their particular character of localized data. Indeed, there is no direct relationship allowing to associate the data of the investigation on the one hand with those of the characterization on the other hand. The only relationship existing between these two levels of information is of the spatial superposition type. To use it and thus cross the two types of information, it is necessary to manage the associated geographical objects.

VOLATILE AND GLYCOSYLATED MARKERS OF SMOKE IMPACT: EVOLUTION IN BOTTLED WINE

Smoke impact in wines is caused by a wide range of volatile phenols found in wildfire smoke. These compounds are absorbed and accumulate in berries, where they may also become glycosylated. Both volatile and glycosylated forms eventually end up in wine where they can cause off-flavors. The impact on wine aroma is mainly attributed to volatile phenols, while in-mouth hydrolysis of glycosylated forms may be responsible for long-lasting “ashy” aftertastes (1).

Factors influencing the production of the antioxidant hydroxytyrosol during alcoholic fermentation: Yeast Assimilable Nitrogen and Sugar content.

Hydroxytyrosol (HT) is well known for its potent antioxidant activity and anticarcinogenic, antimicrobial, cardioprotective and neuroprotective properties. One possible explanation to its origin in wines is the synthesis from tyrosol, which in turn is produced from the Ehrlich pathway by yeasts. This work aims to explore the factors that could increase the final content as the initial concentration of yeast assimilable nitrogen (YAN) and sugar. Two different concentrations of YAN were proved between 210mg/L and 300 mg/L. Additionally, two different concentrations of sugar were used: 100g/L and 240 g/L. Alcoholic fermentations in synthetic must were performed with the strain QA23.

The current state and prospects for the development of viticulture and winemaking in Greece

Viticulture in Greece is the oldest, but in recent years there has been a reduction of areas intended for the production of wine products. The article contains data on viticulture in Greece. Over time, the land of Greek vineyards is fluctuating. There is a trend towards a decrease in areas in connection with the quota of products from the EU.

IMPACT OF HARVEST DATE ON THE FINE MOLECULAR COMPOSITION OF MUST AND BORDEAUX RED WINE (VAR. MERLOT, CABERNET SAUVIGNON). FOCUS ON ACIDITY AND SENSORY IMPACT AFTER FIVE YEARS OF AGING

Climate change has brought several impacts that are becoming increasingly intense during the last few years and put at risk the quality of the berries or even the plant’s sustainability. Such extreme climatic events impact the composition of the wine while modulating its quality and the consumer preferences (Tempère et al., 2019). The three most important changes that take place in the must are: 1) decrease acidity, 2) increase of the concentration of sugar, hence increase of alcohol in the wine, and 3) modification
of the sensory balance and the development for example of cooked fruit aromas.
