La perception des terroirs du vignoble des Coteaux du Layon

Abstract

On peut être surpris de l’existence d’un vignoble de vins liquoreux, le vignoble des Coteaux du Layon, dans une zone septentrionale à la limite Nord de la culture de qualité de la vigne et ce d’autant plus que le cépage de ce vignoble, le Chenin ou Pineau de la Loire, est un cépage semi tardif.

La première explication est à rechercher au niveau des facteurs naturels (données climatiques et géopédologiques) permettant la réalisation de ce type de produit. Il est nécessaire de souligner ici l’importance de chaque paramètre du terroir pris dans im sens large (géopédologique et climatique) et que toute variation de l’un d’entre eux, même non perceptible en première analyse à l’homme, peut avoir des incidences déterminantes sur la qualité des vins.

La deuxième explication est dans les techniques culturales mises en place par l’homme qui, dans des conditions climatiques à priori peu favorables, doivent être conçues pour favoriser d’une manière optimum la maturité des vendanges. L’auteur s’attachera à montrer l’incidence du choix de ces techniques culturales sur la connaissance ou non des terroirs de ce vignoble.

La sémantique liée à la notion de terroir : une objectivité pluridisciplinaire

It is not easy at first sight to give an exhaustive definition of the notion of terroir as it can be simplified or complicated at will. Thus the vagueness that surrounds this concept leaves the door open to various interpretations of the terroir. These tend towards a questionable level of objectivity because the fields they explore are not sufficient to explain the notion on their own, constituting only part of a whole.

Effects of environmental factors and vineyard pratices on wine flora dynamics

he intensification of t vineyard practices led to an impoverishment of the biological diversity. In vineyard management, the reflection to reduce pesticides uses concerns mainly the soil management of the vineyard, and often focuses on flora management in the inter-row.

Partial dealcoholisation of red wine by reverse osmosis-evaporative perstraction: impact on wine composition

Around the world, the alcohol content of wine has been steadily increasing; partly as a consequence of climate change, but also due to improvements in viticultural management practices and winemaking techniques [1,2]. Concurrently, market demand for wines with lower alcohol levels has increased as consumers seek to reduce alcohol intake for social and/or health reasons [3]. As such, there is increasing demand for both innovative methods that allow winemakers to produce ‘reduced alcohol wines’ (RAW) and a better understanding of the impact of such methods on the composition of RAW. This study therefore aimed to investigate compositional changes in two red wines resulting from partial alcohol removal following treatment by one such method, involving a combination of reverse osmosis and evaporative perstraction (RO-EP).

Riqualificazione dell’antica “Terra di Lavoro” attraverso il rilancio della cultivar Abbuoto

Comparison of genotype x environment interaction of clonal and polyclonal grapevine selected materials

Conserving and exploring the intra-varietal diversity of ancient varieties is essential to foster their use in the future, preserving the traditions and history of ancient growing regions and their wines. The conservation of representative samples of ancient varieties and the utilization of intra-varietal variability through polyclonal selection are advisable strategies to save and promote the cultivation of each variety, respectively.
