Valorisation agroviticole de l’effet terroir par l’enherbement des sols

Abstract

Les études développées par l’INRA et l’UV, à Angers, concerne les terroirs viticoles et leur gestion optimisée, tant du point de vue agroviticole qu’oenologique. Les travaux antérieurs (Morlat, 1989) ont permis de donner une dimension scientifique au concept de terroir viticole et ont démontré l’influence considérable de ce facteur de production sur la qualité et la typicité des vins (Asselin et al, 1992). Une méthodologie de caractérisation intégrée des terroirs, s’appuyant sur « l’Unité Naturelle Terroir de Base » (considérée comme la plus petite unité spatiale de territoire utilisable dans la pratique, et dans laquelle la réponse de la vigne est homogène), a été mise au point (Riou et al, 1995).

Les terroirs identifiés et cartographiés selon cette méthode occupent une surface qui varie de quelques hectares à plusieurs centaines d’hectares. Ils peuvent constituer la base d’un zonage pour une région viticole, à partir duquel on peut envisager d’une part, une utilisation rationnelle de l’effet terroir à l’échelle de l’exploitation viticole, et d’autre part une gestion parcellaire des itinéraires techniques.

Berry weight loss in Vitis vinifera (L.) cultivars during ripening

Berry shriveling (BS) in vineyards are caused by numerous factors such as sunburn, dehydration, stem necrosis. Climate change results in an increase in day and night temperatures, rainfall throughout the year, changes in the timing and quantities, long dry summers and a combination of climatic variability such as floods, droughts and heatwaves). Grape development and its composition at harvest is influenced by the latter as grape metabolites are sensitive to the environmental conditions. The grape berry experiences water loss and an increase in flavour development as a result of the BS. An increased sugar content in grapes will result in higher alcohol wines and concentration of grape aromas which may be detrimental to the final wine quality.

Influence of plant growth regulators and water deficit on cv. Krissy table grape

Context and purpose of the study. The quality of table grape clusters significantly affects consumer perception and market value, with berry size, texture, color, and overall appearance playing key roles.

Non-alcoholic wines: evaluation of chemical profile and biological properties

The market of non-alcoholic wine has notably increased in recent years, driven by growing health awareness and regulatory trends aimed at reducing alcohol consumption.

Microwave treatment of grapes: effect on the must and red wine polysaccharide composition

AIM: The application of microwaves (MW) to the grape is a technique to reduce the contact time with pomace because it allows to break the cell walls of the berry.

Reconnaissance des vins de terroir par les consommateurs

Approaching the notion of terroir wines at the level of consumption poses a problem due to the absence of a regulatory definition of the term terroir, which is not taken up either at Community level or at national level (the Consumer Code in particular does not define not the land). However, whatever definition is adopted for the terroir, we can retain at the consumer level an identification of the terroir through the different geographical mentions appearing on the labels or on the shelves of the wine shelf.
