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.

Variability of Tempranillo phenology within the toro do (Spain) and its relationship to climatic characteristics

Aims: The objective of this research was to analyse the spatial and temporal variability of vine phenology of the Tempranillo variety in the Toro Designation of Origen (DO) related to climatic conditions at present and under future climate change scenarios.

Exploring diversity of grapevine responses to Flavescence dorée infection

Flavescence dorée, a serious threat to grapevine cultivation in several European Countries, is caused by phytoplasmas in the 16Sr-V ribosomal group, classified as quarantine organisms in the EU and transmitted mainly by the insect vector Scaphoideus titanus. The disease is controlled only by indirect and preventive measures, with important economic and environmental concerns. Genetic resources from the great variety of Vitis vinifera germplasm together with application of new genomic techniques could be applied to produce resistant/tolerant plants, once the genetic bases of susceptibility are elucidated. In a current Italian project (BIORES*) we are evaluating different international and local grapevine cvs. as well as microvine plants for their response to FD transmission and multiplication in controlled conditions.

Impact of soil-applied and foliar-applied nitrogen on grape and wine composition

Foliar application of urea may be an efficient way to alter grape and wine composition without increasing vine vigor. However, we know little about the impact of this practice on phenolic compounds and yeast assimilable nitrogen (YAN). Adequate YAN is required for an efficient and complete fermentation, while phenolics are particularly important for the sensory profile of red wines. The goal of this study is to test the impact of foliar urea application at veraison, compared to the traditional soil-applied nitrogen fertilization early in the season, on Syrah berry and wine composition in field conditions.

Investigation on harvesting period choices for correct interpretation of experimental results

Happens too often in scientific papers to find the same harvesting period of a cultivar, although the used treatment influence a maturity curve of investigated thesis.
This inevitably leads to wrong conclusions when comparing the treatment effects, since obtained on maturity stages more or less far from those technologically correct.

Towards more coherent rules for alcohol labelling in the European Union

In its 2020 beating cancer plan, the european commission announced plans for mandatory warning signs for alcoholic beverages. However, no concrete legislative proposal has been put forward so far. Instead, ireland passed national legislation in 2023 that requires warning signs for all alcoholic beverages from 2026. Despite significant effects for the common market, the eu commission did not this challenge this law in the so-called tris notification procedure. We argue that the commission’s inaction is consistent with the case law of the european court of justice: in the absence of harmonized rules, member states have a large margin of discretion to enact national health measures.
