L’Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée « Huile Essentielle de Lavande de Haute Provence »

Abstract

Depuis des siècles, la lavande est utilisée pour son parfum et pour ses vertus thérapeutiques naturelles.
La cueillette de la lavande sauvage s’est développée à grande échelle dans les montagnes calcaires de la Provence à la fin du 19e siècle. L’écoulement de la production s’effectuait presque exclusivement vers la ville de Grasse, cité des parfumeurs.
Progressivement, la culture s’est substituée à la cueillette dans les années 1930.

Formation And Evolution Of Minty Terpenoids During Model Ageing Of Cabernet Franc And Merlot Wines

In recent years, a pool of terpenoids possibly implicated in minty odours and in the appreciable refreshing sensation, has been identified in long aged red Bordeaux wines (Lisanti et al., 2021, Picard et al., 2016; Picard et al., 2017). These compounds were found to play a key role in the so-called “ageing bouquet”, that can be defined as “the homogeneous, harmonious flavour resulting from the complex transformation process in wine during bottle storage” (Picard et al., 2015). Moreover the minty-fresh sensory dimension in fine aged red wines plays an important role in typicity judgement by wine professionals (Picard et al., 2015).
