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.

Physiological and growth reaction of Shiraz/101-14 Mgt to row orientation and soil water status

Advanced knowledge on grapevine row orientation is required to improve establishment, management and outcomes of vineyards on terroirs with different environmental conditions (climate, soil, topography) and in view of a future change to more extreme climatic conditions. The purpose of this study was to determine the combined effect of row orientation, plant water status and ripeness level on the physiological and viticultural reaction of Shiraz/101-14 Mgt.

Effects of mechanical leafing and deficit irrigation on Cabernet Sauvignon grown in warm climate of California

San Joaquin Valley accounts for 40% of wine grape acreage and produces 70% of wine grape in California. Fruit quality is one of most important factors which impact the economical sustainability of farming wine grapes in this region. Due to the recent drought and expected labor cost increase, the wine industry is thrilled to understand how to improve fruit quality while maintaining the yield with less water and labor input. The present study aims to study the interactive effects of mechanical leafing and deficit irrigation on yield and berry compositions of Cabernet Sauvignon grown in warm climate of California.

The effects of cane girdling on berry texture properties and the concentration of some aroma compounds in three table grape cultivars

The marketability of the table grapes is highly influenced by the consumer demand; therefore the market value of the table grapes is mainly characterized by its berry size, colour, taste and texture. Girdling could cause accumulation of several components in plants above the ringing of the phloem including clusters and resulting improved maturity. The aim of the experiments was to examine the effect of girdling on berry texture characteristics and aroma concentration.

Application of a fluorescence-based method to evaluate the ripening process and quality of Pinot Blanc grape

The chemical composition of grape berries at harvest is one of the most important factors that should be considered to produce high quality wines. Among the different chemical classes which characterize the grape juice, the polyphenolic compound, such as flavonoids, contribute to the final taste and color of wines. Recently, an innovative non-destructive method, based on chlorophyll fluorescence, was developed to estimate the phenolic maturity of red grape varieties through the evaluation of anthocyanins accumulated in the berry skin. To date, only few data are available about the application of this method on white grape varieties.

Different yield regulation strategies in semi-minimal-pruned hedge (SMPH) and impact on bunch architecture

Yields in the novel viticulture training system Semi-Minimal-Pruned Hedge (SMPH) are generally higher compared to the traditional Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP). Excessive yields have a negative impact on the vine and wine quality, which can result in substantial losses in yield in subsequent vintages (alternate bearing) or penalties in fruit quality. Therefore yield regulation is essential. The bunch architecture in SMPH differs from VSP. Generally there is a higher amount but smaller bunches with lower single berry weights in SMPH compared to VSP.
