Effects of oak barrel aging monitored by 1H-NMR metabolomics

Abstract

The study of wine evolution during barrel aging is an important aspect of wine quality. Our previous works have shown that wine metabolome monitoring by

1H-NMR approaches allows determining the impact of different winemaking processes including traitements using enzymes or finning agents [1]. In this study, the effects of oak barrel aging were investigated by 1H-NMR metabolomics. Targeted and untargeted 1H-NMR analyses were performed on wines conserved in barrels provided by four different barrel manufacturers. Wine samples were taken after one and twelve months. The collected data were statistically processed by principal component analysis (PCA), partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), and partial orthogonal least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA). Cross permutation tests and ANOVA were performed to validate the results and determine the compounds significantly impacted. The results of chemometrics analyses show the relevance of 1H-NMR metabolomics for studying the impact of oak barrel aging. The targeted analysis allowed us to identify the compounds that evolved during barrel aging. The untargeted analysis proved to be particularly interesting for the study of the specific signature of each barrel makers. 1H-NMR metabolomics is a rapid method that could be used as a decision support tool for winemaking.

DOES LIGNIN AN ACCEPTABLE MARKER OF GRAPESEED MATURATION AND QUALITY?

Usually the winemaker consider polyphenols from the grape berry as an actor of the wine quality. There are frequently consider as a marker of grape maturity. It is commonly known that winemaker consider tannins and anthocyanins as main polyphenol actors for winemaking practices and wine quality. Here we will focus on the characterisation of lignins in grape seeds. Previous studies suggest that the seed is lignified [1], which could explain the change in colour of the seed when it reaches maturity and thus provide a reliable indicator for describing the maturity stage in the seed.

Interaction between the enzymes of central carbon metabolism and anthocyanin biosynthesis during grape berry development

Primary and secondary metabolites are major components of grape quality and wine typicity. Their accumulation is interconnected through a complex metabolic network, which is still not well understood. This study aims to investigate how the enzymes of central carbon metabolism interact with anthocyanin biosynthesis during grape berry development: does the accumulation of anthocyanins, which represents a non-negligible diversion of carbon metabolic fluxes, require reprogramming of central enzymes or is it controlled downstream of central metabolism? To this end, 23 enzymes involved in central carbon metabolism pathways have been analyzed in the berries of 3 grape cultivars, which have close genetic background but distinct temporal dynamics of anthocyanin accumulation.

Relationship between soil and grapevine variety in the wineyard of Jura: example for the “Trousseau” variety from the “Terroir” of Montigny-Lès-Arsures (France)

Seven plots located in the commune of Montigny-lès-Arsures (Jura, 39), planted with grapevine varieties Trousseau and Savagnin, were chosen for a study of soil pits and a distribution of major and trace chemical elements in soils and wines. It was shown that the mineral matrix of the soil reflects the geological substratum and the sub-surface alteration process, while the organic soil matrix depends on agro-viticultural practices.
