Prise en compte de la notion de terroir dans les AOC en France : Aspects Culturels

Abstract

« La vigne et le vin sont de grands mystères. Seule la vigne nous rend intelligible ce qui est la véritable saveur de la terre ». Colette. La notion du terroir a toujours été à la base de la notion d’AOC dont elle est indissociable. C’est d’ailleurs la définition de la zone de production qui a été au départ des tentatives de mise en place de l’appellation d’origine, au début du siècle, après la crise phylloxérique.

Tentatives de délimitations administratives (loi du 1er Août 1905), le Cognac, l’Amiagnac des Corbières seront ainsi définies mais en Champagne cela se terminera par des émeutes.
Délimitations judiciaires par le biais de la loi du 6 mai 1919. Un certain nombre d’AOC actuelles ont été définies sur les bases de cette loi, mais elle échouera également notamment à cause des jugements d’entente et de la prolifération d’appellations fantaisistes.
Décret-loi du 30 juillet 1935 portant création de l’INAO. L’article 21 définit les conditions de production des AOC viticoles et en premier lieu l’aire de production. Ainsi dès leur reconnaissance en AOC, la plupart des AOC ont été délimitées entre 1936 et 1940. Mais il s’agissait d’un travail colossal et certaines AOC régionales comme Bordeaux ou Bourgogne ne furent délimitées que très tardivement quand la réglementation communautaire en a rendu le principe obligatoire.
Enfin par l’arrêt Sables – St-Emilion en 1977, le Conseil d’Etat a estimé que l’INAO devait avant toute reconnaissance en AOC procéder d’abord à la délimitation parcellaire. Ces éléments montrent donc bien que le terroir est le fondement même de l’AOC.

IBMP-Polypenol interactions: Impact on volatility and sensory perception in model wine solution

3-Isobutyl-2-methoxypyrazine (IBMP) is one of the key molecules in wine aroma with a bell pepper aroma and a very low threshold in wine, 1-6 ng/L for white wine and 10-16 ng/L in red wine1. The differences in these thresholds are likely due to IBMP-non volatile matrix interactions. It has indeed been shown that polyphenols may influence the volatility of flavor compounds2. In the present study, we focus on IBMP-polyphenols interactions in relation to volatility and sensory perception in model wine solution. Methods: 1. GC-MS Static Headspace Analysis: Samples were analyzed by Static headspace analysis with an Agilent 7890A gas chromatograph coupled to HP 5975C mass spectrometry detector (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA).

VINIoT: Precision viticulture service for SMEs based on IoT sensors network

The main innovation in the VINIoT service is the joint use of two technologies that are currently used separately: vineyard monitoring using multispectral imaging and deployed terrain sensors. One part of the system is based on the development of artificial intelligence algorithms that are feed on the images of the multispectral camera and IoT sensors, high-level information on water stress, grape ripening status and the presence of diseases. In order to obtain algorithms to determine the state of ripening of the grapes and avoid losing information due to the diversity of the grape berries, it was decided to work along the first year 2020 at berry scale in the laboratory, during the second year at the cluster scale and on the last year at plot scale. Different varieties of white and red grapes were used; in the case of Galicia we worked with the white grape variety Treixadura and the red variety Mencía. During the 2020 and 2021 campaigns, multispectral images were taken in the visible and infrared range of: 1) sets of 100 grapes classifying them by means of densimetric baths, 2) individual bunches. The images taken with the laboratory analysis of the ripening stage were correlated. Technological maturity, pH, probable degree, malic acid content, tartaric acid content and parameters for assessing phenolic maturity, IPT, anthocyanin content were determined. It has been calculated for each single image the mean value of each spectral band (only taking into account the pixels of interest) and a correlation study of these values with laboratory data has been carried out. These studies are still provisional and it will be necessary to continue with them, jointly with the training of the machine learning algorithms. Processed data will allow to determine the sensitivity of the multispectral images and select bands of interest in maturation.

Use of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) to rapidly verify the botanical authenticity of gum arabic

Gum arabic is composed of a polysaccharide rich in galactose and arabinose along with a small protein fraction [1, 2], which gives its stabilizing power with respect to the coloring substances or tartaric precipitation of bottled wine. It is a gummy exudation from Acacia trees; the products used in enology have two possible botanical origins, i.e. Acacia seyal and Acacia senegal, with different chemical-physical features and consequently different technological effects on wines. The aim of this work is to evaluate the feasibility of discrimination of commercial gums Arabic between their two different sources, on the basis of the absorption of the Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectra of their aqueous solutions, in order to propose an extremely rapid and cost-saving method for quality control laboratories.
