Une méthode d’étude synthétique du paysage

Abstract

a) le vin, produit qualitatif et convivial à souhait, favorise un support visuel, même pour une étude scientifique car il renvoie à l’image du terroir, en particulier par son paysage visible.
b) le paysage viticole assez ouvert par définition favorise ce type d’approche.
c) le cadre de l’Essai Terroir mené par l’U.R.V.V. (I.N.R.A. – Angers) comporte 15 micro-parcelles de 100 souches, et nécessite à cette échelle des relevés précis du milieu, d’oîi des prises de vue systématiques, du centre de la parcelle, sur 360°, au 50 mm, à 1 m70 su sol et à l’horizontale. Ce type de relevé réalisable aussi au clisimètre ou au téodolithe, permet de saisir la totalité des composantes paysagères environnantes, puis de les grouper en masses homogènes qui, au-dessus des rangs de vigne, peuvent être des masques à l’ensoleillement et au vent. La perspective estompe naturellement l’influence de ces masques avec l’éloignement, par diminution de leur importance visuelle, l’épaisseur de ceux-ci ne peut être fournie que par la photographie aérienne, exploitée ici de source IGN.
Le recours à la photo possède l’avantage sur les appareils de mesure des distance et d’angles solides, d’aboutir à un document souvent flatteur et surtout palpable, mais dont la mise en oeuvre demeure plus longue et coûteuse.
d) la vue frontale sur 360° est scindée en deux panoramiques : l’un centré au Nord, l’autre au Sud par commodité de représentation spatiale quant à leur lecture.
La vue verticale ou aérienne n’est prise en compte que dans un rayon de 500 m du centre de la parcelle, distance semblant raisonnable quant à l’influence des masques sur celle-ci.

Towards a European data basis based of advanced multi-isotopic signatures and artificial intelligence: the wine in blue project

Major and trace elements are essential for the development of grapes used for the wine. They are primarily originating from the soil. Some elements are also seldomly added during the wine making process. Therefore, the largest spectrum of major, trace and ultra-trace elements in the final wine product is a good signature of its geographical origin. In the frame of the European tracewindu, we have developed a very original multi-isotopic dilution method using triple quadrupole icp/ms.

Epigenetics: an innovative lever for grapevine breeding in times of climatic changes

In this video recording of the IVES science meeting 2025, Margot Berger (INRAE, UMR1287 EGFV, Institut des Sciences de la Vigne et du Vin, Villenave d’Ornon, France) speaks about epigenetics as an innovative lever for grapevine breeding in times of climatic changes. This presentation is based on an original article accessible for free on OENO One.

Estimation of plant hydraulics of grapevine in various «terroirs» in the Canton of Vaud (Switzerland)

The study of the physiological behaviour of the grapevine (cv. Chasselas), and of plant hydraulics in particular, was conducted on various « terroirs » in the Canton of Vaud (Switzerland) between 2001 and 2003 by Agroscope Changins-Wädenswil ACW, in collaboration with the firm I. Letessier (SIGALES) in Grenoble and the Federal Polytechnic School of Lausanne (EPFL). An evaluation of the vine plant hydraulics was made by means of physiological indicators (leaf and stem water potentials, transpiration and leaf stomatal conductance, carbon isotope discrimination and a model of transpirable soil water), in relation to estimations of the soil water reservoir and climatic factors.

Exploring the influence of terroir on the sensorial and aroma profiles of wines – An application to red wines from AOC Corbières

The aromatic profile of a wine is the result of volatile molecules present in grapes (varietal or primary aromas) and those produced during the winemaking process of fermentation (secondary aromas) and during wine aging (tertiary aromas).

VineyardFACE: Investigation of a moderate (+20%) increase of ambient CO2 level on berry ripening dynamics and fruit composition

Climate change and rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration is a concern for agriculture, including viticulture. Studies on elevated carbon dioxide have already been on grapevines, mainly taking place in greenhouses using potted plants or using field grown vines under higher CO2 enrichment, i.e. >650 ppm. The VineyardFACE, located at Hochschule Geisenheim University, is an open field Free Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) experimental set-up designed to study the effects of elevated carbon dioxide using field grown vines (Vitis vinifera L. cvs. Riesling and Cabernet Sauvignon). As the carbon dioxide fumigation started in 2014, the long term effects of elevated carbon dioxide treatment can be investigated on berry ripening parameters and fruit metabolic composition.
The present study aims to investigate the effect on fruit composition under a moderate increase (+20%; eCO2) of carbon dioxide concentration, as predicted for 2050 on both Riesling and Cabernet Sauvignon. Berry composition was determined for primary (sugars, organic acids, amino acids) and secondary metabolites (anthocyanins). Special focus was given on monitoring of berry diameter and ripening rates throughout three growing seasons. Compared to previous results of the early adaptative phase of the vines [1], our results show little effect of eCO2 treatment on primary metabolites composition in berries. However, total anthocyanins concentration in berry skin was lower for eCO2 treatment in 2020, although the ratio between anthocyanins derivatives did not differ.
