Influence des facteurs naturels du terroir sur la maturation du raisin en Alsace

Abstract

Une étude de l’influence des facteurs du milieu sur la maturation du raisin dans les conditions de l’Alsace est réalisée. L’accent est mis sur l’analyse du mésoclimat et du pédoclimat. L’expérimentation est conduite sur un réseau de parcelles de gewurztraminer greffé sur SO4. Les conditions de production sont uniformisées sur l’ensemble du dispositif. Une gamme de terroirs couvrant les grandes unités géomorphologiques du vignoble est prise en compte. Les principaux paramètres climatiques sont mesurés durant toute la phase végétative, des mesures continues de la température du sol dans la zone racinaire et hebdomadaire du potentiel foliaire de base permettent le suivi régulier du pédoclimat. La réponse de la plante est enregistrée au travers de mesures classiques des paramètres de croissance, de développement, de production et de maturation. L’étude montre que (i ) les caractéristiques mésoclimatiques des terroirs plus ou moins modulées par la température du sol dans la zone racinaire jouent un rôle majeur sur le niveau de maturité du raisin atteint en fin de cycle, (ii) les conditions d’alimentation en eau, dans le cas d’une contrainte modérée, peuvent anticiper et accélérer les processus de maturation, (iii) l’acidité des moûts est fortement influencée par l’état physiologique de la vigne au moment de la véraison lui même directement lié à l’intensité de la contrainte hydrique.

Defining the mechanisms and impact of winemaking treatments on tannin and polysaccharides in red wine: recent progress in creating diverse styles

Tannin and polysaccharide concentration and composition is important in defining the texture of red wines, but can vary due to factors such as cultivar, region, grape ripeness, viticultural practices and winemaking techniques. However, the concentration and composition of these macromolecules is dependent not only on grape tannin and polysaccharide concentration and composition, but also their extractability and, in the case of polysaccharides, their formation by yeast. Through studies into the influence of grape maturity, winemaking and sensory impacts of red grape polysaccharides, seed and skin tannins, recent research in our laboratory has shown that the processes involved in the extraction of these macromolecules from grapes and their retention in wine are very complex.

Fungal communites diversity and functional roles of different types of Botrytis cinerea infected grape berries on different growing sites

Botrytis cinerea, an Ascomycota pathogen with a broad host range, infects over 1200 plant species. Grapes infected by this pathogen, which subsequently develop a noble rot, remain in the vineyard for an extended period, thus being exposed to a diverse array of physical, chemical and biological factors, which give rise to a complex microbial community.

Closing the carbon loop: evaluating the potential of grapevine-derived biochar as a soil conditioner in warm climate vineyards

Significant increases in anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions due to combustion of fossil fuels and intensive land management practices that release CO2 into the atmosphere have resulted in higher air temperatures due to the greenhouse effect.

The science of fungi in grapevine: An essential new book covering all aspects of fungi in viticulture

Grapevine is one of the world’s most important cultivated plants, domesticated from the wild vine over 11,000 years ago. The fungi associated with it are doubtless as old as the plant itself. Despite their co-evolution with the vine over the centuries, it was only with the invention of the microscope in the seventeenth century that fungi started to be recognised.
