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.

Climate variability and its effects in the Penedès vineyard region (NE Spain)

This study present a detailed analysis of the rainfall and temperature changes in the Penedès region in the period 1995/ 96 – 2008/09, in comparison with the trends observed during the last 50 years, and its implications on phenology and yield.

Impact of the non-volatile matrix composition on red wine aroma release and perception of olfactory and oral cues

Aroma and mouthfeel cues are the main characteristics defining red wine quality. During wine tasting, perceptual and physical-chemical phenomena leading to mutual interactions between volatiles and non-volatiles sensory active compounds, can occur. Aroma perception depends on the release of volatiles from wine, that is affected by wine constituents present in the medium (Pittari et al. 2021; Lyu et al. 2021). Our aim was to evaluate the effect of the non-volatile wine matrix composition (polyphenols, PPh) on the release and perception of red wine aromas by an experiment of matrix enrichment.

Ellagitannins and flavano-ellagitannins: concentration ranges in different areas and sensory evaluation

C-Glucosidic ellagitannins, which are the main polyphenolic compounds in oak heartwood, are extracted by wine during aging in oak barrels. Although such maturing of alcoholic beverages in oak barrels is a multi-centennial practice, very little is known on the impact of these ellagitannins on the organoleptic properties of red wine. The objectives of the present investigation were (i) to isolate oak ellagitannins and to hemisynthesize some made-in-wine flavano-ellagitannins, such as acutissimin A; (ii) to analyse their concentration ranges depending on the cultivar area and (iii) to evaluate their sensory impact on the basis of their human threshold concentrations and dose/response relationships in different types of solutions.

AGING PATTERNS OF VARIETAL VOLATILE PROFILES OF WHITE WINES: A CASE STUDY ON 18 ITALIAN VARIETAL WHITE WINES

During wine aging many compositional changes take place. In particular, aroma undergoes dramatic modifications through a wide range of reactions that to date are only partly understood. Italy owns one of the largest ampelographic heritages worldwide, with over three-hundred different varieties. Among these, many white grapes are employed for the production of dry still white wines. Some of these wines are consumed young while others are more prone to aging. For many of these wines, the aging patterns related to volatile composition are still unknown.

IDENTIFYING POTENTIAL CHEMICAL MARKERS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PERMISSIVENESS OF BORDEAUX RED WINES AGAINST BRETTANOMYCES BRUXELLENSIS USING UNTARGETED METABOLOMICS

All along the red winemaking process, many microorganisms develop in wine, some being beneficial and essential, others being feared spoilers. One of the most feared microbial enemy of wine all around the world is Brettanomyces bruxellensis. Indeed, in red wines, this yeast produces volatile phenols, molecules associated with a flavor described as “horse sweat”, “burnt plastic” or “leather”. To produce significant and detectable concentrations of these undesired molecules, the yeasts should first grow and become numerous enough. Even if the genetic group of the strain present and the cellar temperature may modulate the yeast growth rate¹ and thus the risk of spoilage, the main factor seems to be the wines themselves, some being much more permissive to B. bruxellensis development than others.
