Optimisation de la fertilisation du Cot sur le Causse de l’Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée Cahors

Abstract

L’aire d’Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée de Cahors (Lot) couvre une superficie de 21700 ha, répartis sur 45 communes, dont seulement 4300 sont plantés en vigne. Le cépage principal de cette A.O.C. est le Cot noir qui représente 70 % de l’encépagement, conférant ainsi leur typicité aux vins de cette région ; mais malgré cette importance, à notre connaissance, sa physiologie est restée assez peu étudiée.

Sur cette A.O.C. Cahors, traditionnellement on distingue le vignoble implanté sur le plateau calcaire : le Causse et celui de la vallée : terrasses alluviales du Lot et cônes d’éboulis. Nous avons choisi le Causse qui couvre 70 % de l’A.O.C., et correspond au quart environ de la superficie totale plantée en vigne. Sur différentes parcelles de ce terroir, nous avons réalisé un suivi sur plusieurs années par analyse de sols, de sous sols et par diagnostic foliaire. Les résultats d’analyse de limbes ont permis de déterminer, sur cette zone pédo-climatique homogène, des teneurs optimales en éléments minéraux pour ce cépage. Valeurs de référence permettant de pratiquer une fertilisation raisonnée qui est cependant à moduler en fonction des fluctuations climatiques interannuelles (Garcia et al. 1985).

2-YEARS STUDY ON COMPARISON BETWEEN THE VOLATILE CHEMICAL PROFILE OF TWO DIFFERENT BLENDS FOR THE ENHANCEMENT OF “VALPOLICELLA SUPERIORE”

Valpolicella is a famous wine producing region in the province of Verona owing its fame above all to the production of two Protected Designation of Origins (PDOs) withered wines: Amarone and Recioto. In recent years, however, the wineries have been interested in the enhancement and qualitative increase of another PDO, Valpolicella Superiore. All the Valpolicella PDOs wines are produced with a unique grape blend, mainly Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and a range of other minor varieties.From 2019 Valpolicella product regulation has changed the grape proportion of the blend allowing new composition parameters of wines. For this reason, studying the volatile chemical profiles to support wine makers in the effort to produce high quality wines represents a field of great interest.

Sheep manure: An effective regenerative practice for enhancing Plavac Mali (Vitis vinifera L.) wine quality in dry-farming vineyards on Hvar island

There is an urgent need to develop protective measures for grapevines in historically significant dry-farming vineyards, particularly on Mediterranean islands.

The exploitation of Croatian grapevine genetic resources for the breeding of new resistant cultivars 

Croatian viticulture is mainly based on native grapevine varieties susceptible to various diseases and pests, which leads to unsustainable use of large amounts of pesticides. The sustainable development of viticulture in the future will only be possible by increasing the resistance of the grapevine through the development of new resistant varieties. Breeding programs have been launched in the leading wine-growing countries to develop resistant varieties possessing high-quality levels. Native cultivars from Croatia are not included in the breeding programs of other countries.

Circular viticulture: transforming grapevine waste into sustainable fibers

Annually, around 31.95 million tonnes of grapevine prunings are produced worldwide as agricultural waste.

Aptitude du cépage Chenin à l’élaboration de vins liquoreux en relation avec certaines unités terroirs de base de A.O.C. Coteaux du Layon

Massif and the first sedimentary formations of the western aureole of the Paris Basin. If it is found all over the world (California, Israel, South Africa), it is in this region that it best asserts its identity. It is one of the most interesting grape varieties due to the variety and complexity of the wines it can produce. It can give very dry or very sweet, still or sparkling wines, fresh when young and sublime when ageing, expressing the characteristics of each vintage as much as those of the terroir. The Chenin is a faithful witness of its geographical, geological, pedological and climatic environment; he is the foil of the land. It has strong aptitudes for the production of sweet wines conditioned by overripe grapes often botrytised in the AOC Coteaux du Layon.Massif and the first sedimentary formations of the western aureole of the Paris Basin.
