Relations entre critères sensoriels et analytiques des vins et des vendanges de Cabernet franc issus de terroirs et de millésimes différents en Val de Loire. Essai de caractérisation de la typicité

Abstract

En France, la notion de Terroir a largement contribué à la réputation de nombreux vignobles. Elle a permis aussi d’accentuer la sensibilité des consommateurs, à la notion d’origine d’un produit. L’avenir de nombreux vignobles français semble lié à la capacité à innover en produisant des vins de qualité possédant en plus une typicité, aspect sensoriel susceptible de s’affirmer comme un facteur de vente auprès des futurs clients éduqués sur le plan du goût. Les facteurs naturels de production (terroirs, climat), la liaison avec le cépage traditionnel, sont les facteurs principaux de la typicité du produit.

La mise en place, en 1988, au centre I.N.R.A. d’Angers, d’une unité de recherches spécifiques et pluridisciplinaires a confirmé la nécessité d’une étude intégrée d’un tel sujet. Les travaux menés ont permis de développer une méthodologie de caractérisation à grande échelle des terroirs viticoles composés de milieux élémentaires juxtaposés, chacun d’eux étant défini par une Unité Naturelle Terroir de Base ( Morlat R. 1989, Riou C. et al. 1995).
Le but est de suivre le comportement de la vigne, son fonctionnement et de caractériser le type de vins dans des conditions agroviticoles et œnologiques déterminées.

L’analyse sensorielle est un point de passage obligatoire dans l’étude de produits alimentaires. Dans ce domaine, l’opinion d’un seul juge sur un seul aspect d’un produit n’a pas grande valeur même si elle reste néanmoins précieuse. D’où l’utilisation de jurys importants conduisant à des données nombreuses dont l’analyse nécessite d’utiliser des méthodes statistiques.
Le but du présent travail est de mettre en relation ces données avec des caractéristiques analytiques des vendanges et des vins de Cabernet franc issus d’une gamme de terroirs rencontrés en Moyenne Vallée de la Loire de quatre millésimes différents. La recherche de méthodes objectives est un souci majeur et c’est dans ce sens que les statistiques multidimensionnelles apportent leur concours (Escofïer et Pages, 1988).

Analysis of some environmental factors and cultural practices that affect the production and quality of the Manto Negro, Callet and Prensal Blanc varieties

45 non irrigated vineyards distributed in the DO (Denomination) Pla i Llevant de Mallorca and the DO Binissalem Mallorca were used to investigate the characteristics of production and quality and their relationships certain environmental factors and cultural practices. The grape varieties investigated are autochthonous to the island of Mallorca, Manto Negro and Callet as red and Prensal Blanc as white. All plants were measured for four consecutive years in the main production and quality parameters. Among the environmental factors, the type of soil has been studied, more specifically its water retention capacity, the planting density, the age of the vineyard and the level of viral infection. The presence or absence of virus seems to have no effect on any component studied in the varieties studied. For the white variety Prensal Blanc age is negatively correlated with production and the number of bunches, nevertheless it does not cause any effect on the required quality parameters. However, for the red varieties Callet and Manto Negro, the age of the plantation is the variable that best correlates with the quality parameters, therefore the old vines should be the object of preservation by the viticulturists and winemakers in order to guarantee its contribution to the quality of the wines made with these varieties.

Impact on leaf morphology of Vitis vinifera L. cvs Riesling and Cabernet Sauvignon under Free Air Carbon dioxide Enrichment (FACE)

Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration has continuously increased since pre-industrial times from 280 ppm in 1750, and is predicted to exceed 700 ppm by the end of 21st century. For most of C3 plant species elevated CO2 (eCO2) improve photosynthetic apparatus results in an increased plant biomass production. To investigate the effects of eCO2 on morphological leaf characteristics the two Vitis vinifera L. cultivars, Riesling and Cabernet Sauvignon, grown in the Geisenheim VineyardFACE (Free Air Carbon dioxide Enrichment) system were used. The FACE site is located at Geisenheim University (49° 59′ N, 7° 57′ E, 94 m above sea level), Germany and was implemented in 2014 comparing future atmospheric CO2-concentrations (eCO2, predicted for the mid-21st century) with current ambient CO2-conditions (aCO2). Experiments were conducted under rain-fed conditions for two consecutive years (2015 and 2016). Six leaves per repetition of the CO2 treatment were sampled in the field and immediately fixed in a FAA solution (ethanol, H2O, formaldehyde and glacial acetic acid). After 24 h leaf samples were transferred and stored in an ethanol solution. Subsequently, leaf tissue was dehydrated using ethanol series and embedded in paraffin. By using a rotary microtomesections of 5 µm were prepared and fixed on microscopic slides. Subsequent the samples were stained using consecutive staining and washing solutions. Afterwards pictures of the leaf cross-sections were taken using a light microscope and consecutive measurements were conducted with an open source image software. Differences found in leaf cross-sections of the two CO2 treatments were detected for the palisade parenchyma. Leaf thickness, upper and lower epidermis and spongy parenchyma remained less affected under eCO2 conditions. The observed results within grapevine leaf tissues can provide first insights to seasonal adaptation strategies of grapevines under future elevated CO2 concentrations.

Climate, Viticulture, and Wine … my how things have changed!

The planet is warmer than at any time in our recorded past and increasing greenhouse emissions and persistence in the climate system means that continued warming is highly likely. Climate change has already altered the basic framework of growing grapes for wine production worldwide and will likely continue to do so for years to come. The wine sector can continue to play an important role in leading the agricultural sector in addressing climate change. From developing on…
