Les effets du terroir ou l’expression des potentiels à valoriser

Abstract

La recherche des effets du Terroir est d’un intérêt majeur pour la fïlière vitivinicole. L’étude des relations Terroir-Vigne-Raisin même si elle est complexe, est fondamentale pour toute la viticulture : en effet, la qualité du raisin doit être le résultat d’une gestion agroviticole de la vigne la plus raisonnée possible, qui doit en premier lieu, respecter un équilibre de production. Le but recherché par le vigneron est l’obtention d’un vin, aboutissement optimisé des interactions Terroir-Cépage. Ce lien au terroir est donc primordial à établir en prenant en compte d’une part le comportement de la vigne (qui en est la cause), et d’autre part, ses effets sur le raisin et finalement sur le vin.

L’intérêt de tous ces aspects est essentiel non seulement pour l’image du producteur, mais surtout pour celle du produit et par conséquent pour l’information et la satisfaction du consommateur. Cette approche est aussi de plus en plus justifiée par le fait que la viticulture, au moins une certaine viticulture, n’a plus pour fin première de produire du “raisin”, mais surtout d’élaborer à partir “d’un raisin”, un vin particulièrement personnalisé, reflet du travail du vigneron en adéquation avec ses terroirs viticoles (Papin, 1996). Pour ces raisons, la connaissance des relations Terroir-Vigne-Raisin permet des avancées considérables pour décrire, analyser, comprendre et gérer, et, au delà, pour identifier les caractéristiques de la typicité des vins qui sont ainsi produits.

Impact of climate change on the viticultural climate of the Protected Designation of Origin “Jumilla” (SE Spain)

Protected Designation of Origin “Jumilla” (PDO Jumilla) is located in the Spanish provinces of Albacete and Murcia, in the South-eastern part of the Iberian Peninsula, where most of the models predict a severe impact of climate change in next decades. PDO Jumilla covers an area of 247,054 hectares, of which more than 22,000 hectares

Photoselective shade films affect grapevine berry secondary metabolism and wine composition

Grapevine physiology and production are challenged by forecasted increases in temperature and water deficits. Within this scenario, photoselective overhead shade films are promising tools in warm viticulture areas to overcome climate change related factors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the vulnerability of ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ grape berry to solar radiation overexposure and optimize shade film use for berry integrity. A randomized complete block design field study was conducted across two years (2020-2021) in Oakville, Napa Valley, CA, with four shade films (D1, D3, D4, D5) differing in the percent of radiation spectra transmitted and compared to an uncovered control (C0). Integrals for gas exchange parameters and mid-day stem water potential were unaffected by the shade films in 2020 and 2021. By harvest, berries from uncovered and shaded vines did not differ in their size or primary metabolism in either year. Despite precipitation exclusion during the dormant season in the shaded treatments, yield did not differ between them and the control in either season. In 2020, total skin anthocyanins (mg/g fresh mass) in the shaded treatments was greater than C0 during berry ripening and at harvest. Conversely, flavonol concentrations in 2020 were reduced in shaded vines compared to C0. The 2020 growing season highlighted the impact of heat degradation on flavonoids. Flavonoid concentrations in 2021 increased until harvest while flavonoid degradation was apparent from veraison to harvest in 2020 across shaded and control vines. Wine analyses highlighted the importance of light spectra to modify wine composition. Wine color intensity, tonality and anthocyanin values were enhanced in D4 whereas antioxidant properties were enhanced in C0 and D5 wines. Altogether, our results highlighted the need of new approaches in warm viticulture areas given the impact that composition of light has on berry and wine quality.

Phenological characterization of a wide range of Vitis Vinifera varieties

In order to study the impact of climate change on Bordeaux grape varieties and to assess the adaptation capacities of candidates to the grape varieties of this wine region to the new climatic conditions, an experimental block design composed of 52 grape varieties was set up in 2009 at the INRAE Bordeaux Aquitaine center. Among the many parameters studied, the three main phenological stages of the vine (budburst, flowering and veraison) have been closely monitored since 2012. Observations for each year, stage and variety were carried out on four independent replicates. Precocity indices have been calculated from the data obtained over the 2012-2021 period (Barbeau et al. 1998). This work allowed to group the phenological behaviour of the grapevine varieties, not only based on the timing of the subsequent developmental stages, but also on the overall precocity of the cycle and the total length of the cycle between budburst and veraison. Results regarding the variability observed among the different grape varieties for these phenological stages are presented as heat maps.
