Recherche de relations entre terroir et caractéristiques sensorielles des eaux-de-vie de Cognac

Aim:  The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that the meaning of terroir should be regarded as transient. This is because climate, one of the principal components of terroir, is changing with time, and can no longer be assumed to be constant with fluctuations about a mean. This is due to the climate crisis.

Stilbenes, a kind of non-flavonoid phenolic compounds, have been reported to be responsible for various beneficial effects. Their biological properties include antibacterial and antifungal effects, as well as cardioprotective, neuroprotective and anticancer actions (Guerrero et al. 2009).Several strategies can be used to increase stilbene content in grapes and one of them could be the use of elicitors such as methyl jasmonate. The use of this elicitor has been proven to be efficient in the production of secondary metabolites which increases the quality of wines, but its use also has some drawbacks such as its low water solubility, high volatility, and its expensive cost (Gil-Muñoz et al. 2021).

Context and purpose of the study. The primary fungal diseases affecting grapevines in Europe are downy mildew and powdery mildew.

AIM: Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Oenococcus oeni species is worldwide used as starter for malolactic fermentation [1, 2].

The extraction of proteins from grape seeds represents a promising strategy to revalorize wine industry by-products. As a natural endogenous fining agent, grape seed protein (GSE) offers an effective solution for wine clarification [1] without requiring label declaration.
