Développement de l’appareil végétatif et maturation du raisin sur quatre sols de Pomerol en 1995

Abstract

The Pomerol vineyard, located 35 km east of Bordeaux, covers around 800 ha on the left bank of the Isle.There is a system of fluvial terraces with more or less coarse gravel and pebble spreading, resting on a Tertiary substratum ranging from the Middle to Upper Eocene to the Lower Oligocene (Dubreuilh, 1993). This interweaving of terraces of varying thickness results in a brutal superposition of differentiated materials which give rise to various types of soil. Several site studies in this sector of the Libounais show significant morphological and analytical differences from one point to another (Guilloux et al., 1978; Duteau, 1982; Van Leeuwen et al., 1989). The distribution of the soils of the Pomerol vineyard was studied and resulted in a cartography at 1/25000th (Merouge, 1995). This typological variability of the soils led us to study in a comparative way the behavior of Merlot noir, the predominant grape variety in the region.

What about oxygen transfer during wine aging in barrels?

During wine aging, several complex phenomena of gas transfer take place in barrels due to the wine/oak contact. The efficiency of this gas transfer varies according to oak wood’s intrinsic physical properties. This research aims to better understand oxygen transfer phenomena through dry oak staves and especially through stave gaps, in order to reevaluate the importance of barrel-making on a barrel’s supply of oxygen. Experimentation was based on the development of an innovative permeameter of laboratory scale, for which the principal operating conditions concerning applied pressure, the choice of liquid phase/gas phase, and the grain type of oak are taken into account and investigated. With a specially developed tightening system, the existing pressure at stave gaps in a barrel could be reproduced on a laboratory scale in order to estimate its influence on oxygen transfer efficiency.

A applied viticultural zoning, based on the “secteurs de la reference” methodology, in the Cognac vineyard (France)

Dans les Charentes, en réponse à une crise de production du vignoble destiné à la production de Cognac, un plan de diversification viticole pour des vins de pays de qualité est mis en place. Il nécessite une connaissance des sols et de leurs caractéristiques viticoles pour orienter le choix des types de vins et adapter l’itinéraire technique de production.
