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.

Cover crop influence on water relations, yield, grape and wine composition of Pinot noir

The effect of cover crop on the water relations, yield and grape composition of Pinot noir vines was investigated during two seasons (2003 and 2004) in a gravely soil located in Tarragona (Spain). Seventeen-year-old vines, grafted onto R110 and trained onto a Ballerina training system, were used.

Can the satellite image resolution be improved to support precision agriculture in the vineyard through vegetation indices?

Aim: This study aims to show the application of a new methodological approach to improve the resolution of Sentinel-2A images and derived vegetation indices through the results from different vineyards. 

Influence du terroir et de la conduite du verger sur la composition des pommes à cidre

Influence of maturity on grape tyrosinase activity

Enzymatic browning of grape must remains a major issue in winemaking, especially when grapes are affected by grey rot.

Anthocyanin accumulation and extractability during the maturation of the grapes of three varieties

Anthocyanin accumulation and extractability were studied in Tannat, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes produced in the south of Uruguay in two consecutive seasons. Typical cultivation situations employed in the region for each variety were considered. A follow-up was carried out, considering 60 plants per vineyard, and the harvest was determined according to the technological indices of maturity. Samples of grapes were taken in duplicate in each vineyard periodically along grape maturation. The basic composition, polyphenolic potential and anthocyanin extractability were determined. Also, half of grapes were frozen and later peeled; skin extractions over 24 hs with a solution of 12% ethanol and pH 3.2 were carried out. The anthocyanin contents of the extracts obtained were determined by HPLC-DAD. The levels of anthocyanins reached the highest values before technological maturity. Anthocyanin extractability had a decrease during grape maturation.
