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.

Discovering the process of noble rot: fungal ecology of grape berries during the noble rot transformation in different vineyards of the Tokaj wine region

Botrytis cinerea, a well-known grapevine pathogen, has more than 1200 host plants causing grey rot in grapevine berries. However, it can also result in a desirable phenomenon called noble rot under specific microclimate conditions. An extraordinary demonstration of this natural process can be observed in the creation of aszú wines within Hungary’s Tokaj wine region. Beside B. cinerea other fungi and yeasts are involved in the secondary metabolic development of the grape berry which contributes to the sensory and analytical characterization of noble rot wines.

Terroir aspects of harvest timing in a cool climate wine region: physiology, berry skin phenolic composition and wine quality

Preliminary experiment of harvest timing was carried out in Eger wine district, Hungary in 2009. In situ physiological responses, berry quality parameters and wine quality of the Kékfrankos grapevine were studied at two growing sites (Eger-K6lyuktet6 – non-stressed, flat vineyard, and Eger-Nagyeged hill – water stressed, steep slope vineyard).

Evaluation of mannoprotein formation by different yeast strains by enzymatic analysis of mannose and tribological estimation of astringency

A positive role of mannoproteins on wine stability and red wine mouth sensations has been widely described. Commercial mannoproteins are available and some yeast strains are offered with a higher formation of mannoproteins.

Agroclimatic characterisation of the Portugese wine denominations of origin using a compound index

Aims: This study aims to: (1) characterize the agroclimatic conditions of the Portuguese Denominations of Origin, using a compound index that combines thermal and soil water balance conditions and a high-resolution climatic dataset (~1 km spatial resolution); (2) categorize the main grapevine varieties as a function of this compound index.

Sustaining grape production under challenging climate change circumstances

Grapevines are an important economic crop grown in temperate climates of both hemispheres characterized by short‐term heat spells and heat waves
