Reconnaissance des vins de terroir par les consommateurs

Abstract

Aborder la notion de vins de terroir au niveau de la consommation pose un problème du fait de l’absence de définition réglementaire du terme terroir, qui n’est repris ni au niveau communautaire ni au niveau national (le Code de la Consommation notamment ne définit pas le terroir). Toutefois, quelle que soit la définition que l’on adopte pour le terroir, on peut retenir au niveau du consommateur une identification du terroir au travers des différentes mentions géographiques figurant sur les étiquettes ou dans les rayons du linéaire vin. A ce point de vue il est clair que dans le secteur viticole les Appellations d’Origine et les vins de pays (VDP) font, consciemment ou non, de l’effet terroir. Ainsi, si cet effet terroir n’est pas commercialisé directement auprès des consommateurs, il est quand même véhiculé (au moins partiellement) par les notions d’AOC, de VDQS, et de VDP (notamment de petite zone). La connaissance et la reconnaissance des vins de terroir par le consommateur sont donc abordées ici au travers des concepts d’Appellation d’Origine et de vins de pays et ceci sous trois angles différents; à savoir :
• la connaissance de ces concepts telle qu’elle ressort de l’enquête sur la consommation de vins par les Français réalisée par l’INRA et l’ONIVINS en 1995,
• la multiplicité des identifiants et l’émiettement des volumes, qui placent le consommateur face à un linéaire vin comportant un nombre particulièrement élevé de références,
• le chevauchement des zones de prix entre les différentes catégories de vins qui complique le choix du consommateur au moment de l’acte d’achat.

From varietal and terroir expression to off-odors: chemical background of wine aroma evolution during aging

Expression of sensory attributes that reflect the varietal and geographical origin of wines (aka terroir) is central to perceived wine quality and reputation of wine producing regions.

CONTRIBUTION OF VOLATILE THIOLS TO THE AROMA OF RIESLING WINES FROM THREE REGIONS IN GERMANY AND FRANCE (RHEINGAU, MOSEL, AND ALSACE)

Riesling wines are appreciated for their diverse aromas, ranging from the fruity fresh characters in young vintages to the fragrant empyreumatic notes developed with aging. Wine tasters often refer to Riesling wines as prime examples showcasing terroir, with their typical aroma profiles reflecting the geographical provenance of the wine. However, the molecular basis of the distinctive aromas of these varietal wines from major Riesling producing regions in Europe have not been fully elucidated. In this study, new lights were shed on the chemical characterization and the sensory contribution of volatile thiols to Riesling wines from Rheingau, Mosel, and Alsace. First, Riesling wines (n = 46) from the three regions were collected and assessed for their aroma typicality by an expert panel.

French wine sector facing climate change (part. 2) : the implementation of the national strategy

This summary follows this made by Hervé Hannin et al. Entitled “French wine sector facing climate change (part. 1) : a national strategy built on a foresight and participatory approach “. The french wine sector has taken a collective approach to the issue of climate change, and has officially submitted its strategy to the minister of agriculture in 2021. This industry policy is the result of multidisciplinary work carried out through the “laccave” project (metaprogramme accaf, inrae) and its prospective study designed to anticipate climate change in the french wine industry (aigrain p. Et al., 2016). French wine professionals decided to structure a strategy to deal with climate change du in particular to the presentation made at the 2016 OIV congress in Brazil.

Influence of weather and climatic conditions on the viticultural production in Croatia

The research includes an analysis of the impact of weather conditions on phenological development of the vine and grape quality, through monitoring of four experimental cultivars (Chardonnay, Graševina, Merlot and Plavac mali) over two production years. In each experimental vineyard, which were evenly distributed throughout the regions of Slavonia and The Croatian Danube, Croatian Uplands,
