Étude de la flore levurienne de différents terroirs alsaciens

Abstract

L’utilisation de levures sélectionnées est généralement considérée comme le moyen d’éviter les problèmes fermentaires. Néanmoins de nombreux viticulteurs pensent que ces levures sont à l’origine d’une standardisation des vins et militent pour le respect d’une flore indigène (Bourguignon, 1992). De nombreux travaux récents éclairent d’un jour nouveau le concept de flore indigène (Frezier et Dubourdieu, 1992 ; Versavaud et al., 1993 ; Delteil et al., 1996). Dans notre démarche de caractérisation des vignobles alsaciens, ce travail a pour objectifs de fournir des éléments de réponses à deux questions :
– Existe-t’il une flore levurienne “indigène” de Saccharomyces cerevisiae spécifique à chaque terroir ?
– Que devient cette flore au cours d’une vinification traditionnelle ?

An overview of wine sensory characterization: from classical descriptive analysis to the emergence of novel profiling techniques

The wine industry requires coexistence between tradition and innovation to meet consumers’ preferences. Sensory science allows the objective quantification of consumers’ understanding of a product and subjective feedback of consumer’s perception through acceptance or rejection of stimulus or even describing emotions evoked [1]. To measure sensations, emotions and liking, and their dynamics over time, time-intensity methods are crucial tools with growing interest in sensory science [2].

Ageing of sweet wines: oxygen evolution according to bung and barrel type

Barrel ageing is a crucial step in the wine process because it allows many changes to the wine as enrichment, colour stabilization, clarification and also a slow oxygenation. Effects of the oak barrel have to be known to prevent oxidation of the wine. The type of bung used during ageing is also a parameter to consider. Ageing sweet wines in barrel is a real challenge. These wines may need some oxygen at the beginning of ageing but they should be protected at the end of their maturation, to avoid oxidation.

Vineyards and grape varieties: what is going on in wine professional and consumer minds?

Vineyard and grape variety are two popular ways of classifying wines. Vineyard designation is a traditional practice for European wine labels but is being increasingly replaced by grape variety designation, mainly used for New World and Swiss wine labels.

High-altitude vineyards under extreme conditions in the PIWI context of cultivation: economic and marketing evidence from an exploratory study in Northern Italy

Viticulture has spread to unexpected locations, such as high-altitude terrain. Among these, high-altitude viticulture has captured considerable attention, not only for the uniqueness of its products and landscapes but also because it offers an effective response to climate changes
The aim of this study is to analyse and compare wineries that used Piwi varieties (acronym for the German Pilzwiderstandfähig, i.e., cryptogame-resistant) at high altitudes (between 500 and 920 m a.s.l.) with the traditional non-mountainous viticulture model.
