Protection juridique du terroir viticole en France

Abstract

La diversité des sources potentielles d’atteintes au terroir d’une appellation (atteintes physiques, esthétiques, écologiques, atteintes à l’image, à la représentation collective voire, dans une conception large qui ne sera pas retenue ici, au nom géographique identifiant le terroir) s’accompagne d’un éclatement des sources juridiques permettant sa protection. Cette hétérogénéité des sources est sans doute en partie liée à une évolution dans l’appréhension de la notion même de terroir. L’objet de la protection évolue : c’est aujourd’hui tout autant le terroir en tant qu’élément du patrimoine d’exploitation viticole qui est protégé que le terroir en tant qu’élément d’un patrimoine collectif national. Quelques soient ses sources (loi d’orientation ou de modernisation agricole, code de l’urbanisme, code de l’expropriation, réglementation des installations classées pour la protection de l’environnement, loi spécifique aux appellations d’origine contrôlées) la protection juridique des terroirs repose toujours sur la mise en oeuvre de procédés de consultation / concertation. L’avis du ministre de l’Agriculture ou, dans certaines hypothèses, directement de l’INAO doit être sollicité préalablement à un certain nombre d’opérations susceptibles d’affecter des terroirs d’appellation. Si l’autorité administrative concemée n’est pas tenue de suivre l’avis émis, elle est tenue de le solliciter sous peine de voir sa décision entachée d’un vice de procédure.

Par ailleurs, la loi n° 90-558 du 2 juillet 1990 relative aux appellations d’origine contrôlées des produits agricoles ou alimentaires bruts ou transformés donne aux syndicats de défense la possibilité de générer l’intervention d’un avis du ministre de l’Agriculture en toute situation susceptible de porter atteinte au terroir de leur appellation. Ces mécanismes de consultation fonctionnent. Plus de 200 avis ont été rendus en 1995 par l’INAO et leur nombre est en constante augmentation.

The impacts of frozen material-other-than-grapes (MOG) on aroma compounds of red wine varieties

An undesirable note called “floral taint” has been observed in red wines by winemakers in the Niagara region caused by large volumes of frozen leaves and petioles [materials-other-than-grapes (MOG)] introduced during mechanical harvest and subsequent winemaking late in the season. The volatiles, which we hypothesized are responsible, are primarily terpenes, norisoprenoids, and specific esters in frozen leaves and petioles. The purpose of this study was to investigate the volatile compounds which may cause the floral taint problem and explore how much of them (thresholds) may lead to the problem. Also, the glycosidic precursors of some of these compounds were analyzed to see the changes happening during frost events.

Aromatic profile of six different clones of Chardonnay grape berries in Minas Gerais (Brazil)

Aromas are one of the key points in food analysis since they are related to character, quality and consequently consumer acceptance. It is not different in the winery industry, where the aromatic profile is a combination of viticultural and oenological practices. Based on the development of more aromatic clones and on the potential to produce sparkling wines at Caldas, in the southern region of Minas Gerais (Brazil) (21°55´S and 46°23´W, altitude 1,100m), the aim of this work was the determination of volatile compounds in six different clones of Chardonnay grape berries to better understand which compounds add bouquet to the wine, and additionally comprehend the impacts of the edaphoclimatic and annual conditions on the improvement of grape-growing and winemaking practices.

Improving stilbenes in vitis Labrusca L. Grapes through methyl jasmonate applications

Grapes (Vitis sp.) are considered a major source of phenolic compounds such as flavonols, anthocyanins and stilbenes. Studies related to the beneficial effects of these compounds on health have encouraged research aimed at increasing their concentration in fruits. On this behalf, several plant growth regulators such as jasmonic acid and its volatile ester, methyl-jasmonate (MeJa), have demonstrated promising results in many fruits. However, Brazilian subtropical climate might interfere on treatment response. The present study aims to evaluate the application of MeJa in the pre-harvest period in Concord and Isabel Precoce grapes (Vitis labrusca L.).

Service crop effects on grapevine water and nitrogen status and yield under Mediterranean climate

Service crops in vineyard can provide multiple ecosystem services but they can also lead to competition with the grapevine for soil resources in the Mediterranean region due to potential severe droughts (Garcia et al., 2018). One of the levers of action to manage this competition is the choice of species adapted in terms of growth dynamics and water and nutrients’ needs. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of temporary service crops on grapevine water and nitrogen status and grapevine yield and yield components in a Mediterranean vineyard.

Impact of deficit irrigation strategies on terpene concentration in Gewürztraminer grapes

Deficit irrigation is a viticultural practice often applied to improve the phenolic composition of red grapes and wines. However, the impact of this practice on grape terpenes – key aromatics for several grapes and wines – remains largely unknown. This study investigated the impact of deficit irrigation strategies on free and glycosylated terpenes in Gewürztraminer grapes. In a field study conducted in Oliver, BC, in 2016, 2017, and 2018, deficit irrigation regimes were applied to Gewürztraminer vines at different developmental stages (pre-veraison = Early Deficit, ED; post-veraison = Late Deficit, LD; throughout the season = Prolonged Deficit, PD). A well-irrigated control (CN) treatment was also established.
