Territoire, terroir et marché du vin à la production

Abstract

Les travaux visant à comprendre les relations entre un terroir, au sens agronomique, et les caractéristiques physico-chimiques des raisins ou du vin sont aujourd’hui nombreux, comme en témoigne le programme de ce colloque. Mais pour un économiste, la question centrale reste de savoir comment le terroir peut intervenir dans la construction de la valeur économique du vin et dans la différenciation de ses prix. L’effet terroir est-il reconnu par le consommateur final ou n’est-il qu’une variable d’ajustement interne aux systèmes de production ? A travers quels indicateurs cet effet terroir peut-il être géré par les différents opérateurs de la filière ? En définitive ne vaut-il pas mieux invoquer un “effet territoire” que peuvent construire les acteurs, et dont le terroir serait une des composantes possibles ? Pour développer ces questions, nous reviendrons d’abord sur les mécanismes de création de la valeur dans la filière viti-vinicole, pour proposer un cadre d’analyse permettant de relier les transactions au territoire et à sa composante terroir. Plutôt que de reprendre l’exemple des vins AOC, pour lesquels le terroir est largement mis en avant dans la construction de la qualité, nous avons préféré confronter notre analyse théorique au marché des Vins de table et de Pays à la production. En effet, dans ce marché se construit également une différenciation liée au territoire en parallèle ou en complément à une différenciation liée aux cépages. Deux approches différentes de ce marché seront présentés : une analyse statistique sur les contrats d’achat ONIVINS ; une série d’enquêtes auprès des opérateurs de la filière en Languedoc Roussillon.

Interaction Between Armenian Clay-based Ceramic and Model Wine

Clay-based ceramic vessels (jars, pyhtoi, etc.) for wine fermentation and aging processes have been used in several cultures for millennia. This know-how still in practice in several countries of the Armenian highland is gaining worldwide in curiosity, popularity, and interest. Ceramic pots are famous among traditional winemakers for their benefits such as temperature regulation, natural cooling system, favorable oxygen exchange, and impact on pH, which are different from those of stainless steel, wood barrels, or concrete.

The colour pattern of flower arrangements influence wine tasters’ sensory description

The arrangements of flowers and wine counterparts are inextricably linked. Whether a fundamental aspect of tablescaping or acolytes to broader entertainment rituals, they have an entangled history since ancient times. The aim of this contribution is to verify the influence of visually delicate and robust flower arrangements on individual description of wines. Changes in the sensory description of wines were investigated during subjects’ (thirty-two participants) exposure to three different conditions: the presence of delicate, robust, or totally absent flower arrangements. In each condition, the same two wines were blind tasted: a wine previously defined as delicate – a Pinot Noir from Australia, and a wine known for its robust character – a Tannat from Uruguay.

Characterization of simple polyphenols in seeds of autochthonous grapevine varieties grown in Croatia (Vitis vinifera L.)

Croatia has rich grapevine genetic resources with more than 125 autochthonous varieties preserved. Coastal region of Croatia, Dalmatia, is well known for wine production based on autochthonous grapevine varieties. Nevertheless, only couple of these are widely cultivated and have greater economic importance. Grape seeds are sources of polyphenols which play an important role in organoleptic and nutritional value of grape and wine. Hence, the aim of this study was to evaluate the simple polyphenols from grape seeds in 20 rare autochthonous grapevine varieties.

INOCULATION OF THE SELECTED METSCHNIKOWIA PULCHERRIMA MP1 AS A BIOPROTECTIVE ALTERNATIVE TO SULFITES TO PREVENT BROWNING OF WHITE GRAPE MUST

Enzymatic browning (BE) of must is caused by polyphenol oxidases (PPOs), tyrosinase and laccase. Both PPOs can oxidize diphenols such as hydroxycinnamic acids (HA) to quinones, which can later polymerize to form melanins [1], which are responsible of BE in white wines and of oxidasic haze in red wines. SO₂ is the main tool used to protect must from BE thanks to its capacity to inhibit PPOs [2]. However, the current trend in winemaking is to reduce and even eliminate this unfriendly additive. Among the different possible alternatives for protecting must against BE, the inoculation with a selected Metschnikowia pulcherrima MP1 is without any doubt one of the most promising ones.

Identification of green, aggressive and hard character of wines by a chemo-sensory directed methodology

With climate change, it is progressively more often to obtain grapes with an acceptable content in sugars or acids but with immature tannins described as green, aggressive or hard (noted as GAH onwards). During winemaking, the oenologist has to make decisions related to the elaboration of such grapes based mainly on empirical experience, given the lack of objective criteria to this concern. An increase in the chemical and sensory knowledge of immature tannins would allow managing this GAH character of grapes with the maximum possible efficiency during winemaking processes. The present work aims at isolating and identifying the group of compounds responsible for the GAH character present in wines.
