Les motivations du vigneron en quête de l’expression “terroir”

Abstract

Jusqu’en 1985 les vendanges ont été réalisées par parcelles et l’assemblage après fermentation. Lors des vendanges 1985, j’ai pu constater à la perception gustative une rupture d’harmonie du vin lors des assemblages même partiels de raisins provenant de parcelles différentes. J’ai noté parallèlement une bonne réaction de la clientèle pour une plus grande personnalisation du produit. De ce fait, j’ai été amené à rechercher les limites objectives du terroir d’une cuvée et par un affinement constant et permanent des paramètres spécifiques à chacun des terroirs.

L’évolution de mon approche a été ordonnée de la façon suivante :
– observations géo-pédologique des parcelles avec dégustation de raisins,
– constatation des différences de type de maturité et de vitesse de maturité des raisins,
– perception du climat propre à chacune des parcelles : rôle de la topographie, de l’altitude, du vent, de la proximité de l’eau.
– adaptation progressive du travail jusqu’à la cueillette des raisins aux différents type de terroir.

Relationships between vineyard soil physiochemical properties and under-vine soil cover as potential drivers of terroir in the Barossa

Aims: Soils are an intrinsic feature of the landscape and have influenced culturally and economically important terroir delineation in many wine-producing regions of the world. Soil physiochemical properties govern a wide array of ecosystem services, and can therefore affect grapevine health and fruit development. These physiochemical properties can reflect a combination of factors,

Montpellier vine & wine sciences (M-WineS)

The Occitanie Region is the first vine-growing area in France: 270 000 hectares of vineyard and an annual production of 15 million hectoliters. Its annual income reaches 1 900 million euros, of which 900 million euros in export.The vine and wine sector is facing many issues: inputs reduction, adaptation to climate change, maintaining the production competitiveness, digital tools integration in production and transformation processes, and the production of quality wines meeting the consumer demand.

Metabolomic profiling of botrytized grape berries: unravelling the dynamic chemical transformations during noble rot

Botrytis cinerea, a fungal pathogen commonly known as grey mold, which under specific climatic conditions can develop into a desirable form known as noble rot. In this process the fungus penetrates the grape skin, allowing water evaporation and concentration of sugars and flavors, while profoundly affects the metabolite composition of grapes, leading to the production of unique and desirable compounds in the resulting wines. The result is a unique and complex wine with a luscious sweetness, heightened aromatics, and a distinct character.
