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.

Physiological and growth reaction of Shiraz/101-14 Mgt to row orientation and soil water status

Advanced knowledge on grapevine row orientation is required to improve establishment, management and outcomes of vineyards on terroirs with different environmental conditions (climate, soil, topography) and in view of a future change to more extreme climatic conditions. The purpose of this study was to determine the combined effect of row orientation, plant water status and ripeness level on the physiological and viticultural reaction of Shiraz/101-14 Mgt.

Effects of mechanical leafing and deficit irrigation on Cabernet Sauvignon grown in warm climate of California

San Joaquin Valley accounts for 40% of wine grape acreage and produces 70% of wine grape in California. Fruit quality is one of most important factors which impact the economical sustainability of farming wine grapes in this region. Due to the recent drought and expected labor cost increase, the wine industry is thrilled to understand how to improve fruit quality while maintaining the yield with less water and labor input. The present study aims to study the interactive effects of mechanical leafing and deficit irrigation on yield and berry compositions of Cabernet Sauvignon grown in warm climate of California.

The effects of cane girdling on berry texture properties and the concentration of some aroma compounds in three table grape cultivars

The marketability of the table grapes is highly influenced by the consumer demand; therefore the market value of the table grapes is mainly characterized by its berry size, colour, taste and texture. Girdling could cause accumulation of several components in plants above the ringing of the phloem including clusters and resulting improved maturity. The aim of the experiments was to examine the effect of girdling on berry texture characteristics and aroma concentration.

Application of a fluorescence-based method to evaluate the ripening process and quality of Pinot Blanc grape

The chemical composition of grape berries at harvest is one of the most important factors that should be considered to produce high quality wines. Among the different chemical classes which characterize the grape juice, the polyphenolic compound, such as flavonoids, contribute to the final taste and color of wines. Recently, an innovative non-destructive method, based on chlorophyll fluorescence, was developed to estimate the phenolic maturity of red grape varieties through the evaluation of anthocyanins accumulated in the berry skin. To date, only few data are available about the application of this method on white grape varieties.

Different yield regulation strategies in semi-minimal-pruned hedge (SMPH) and impact on bunch architecture

Yields in the novel viticulture training system Semi-Minimal-Pruned Hedge (SMPH) are generally higher compared to the traditional Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP). Excessive yields have a negative impact on the vine and wine quality, which can result in substantial losses in yield in subsequent vintages (alternate bearing) or penalties in fruit quality. Therefore yield regulation is essential. The bunch architecture in SMPH differs from VSP. Generally there is a higher amount but smaller bunches with lower single berry weights in SMPH compared to VSP.
