RED WINE AGING THROUGH 1H-NMR METABOLOMICS

Abstract

Premium red wines are often aged in oak barrel. This widespread winemaking process is used, among others, to provide roundness and complexity to the wine. The study of wine evolution during barrel aging is crucial to better ensure control of wine quality.

¹H-NMR has already been proved to be an efficient tool to monitor winemaking process [1]. Indeed, it is a non-destructive technique, it requires a small amount of sample and a short time of analysis, yet it provides clues about several chemical families. The aim of the present study is to investigate the evolution of wine during aging in oak barrels with NMR-based metabolomics.

Red wines, produced in an estate of Bordeaux region, were kept in oak barrels from three different manufacturers. They were firstly sampled after one month of aging. They were then resampled after twelve months of storage in oak barrels within the estate cellar. The evolution of wine constituents during aging was measured by ¹H-NMR-based metabolomics. NMR spectra were submitted to targeted and untargeted approaches.

Data were then statistically processed through multivariate statistical analysis such as principal component analysis (PCA), and orthogonal projections to latent structures discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA). It was used to better watch the distribution of metabolic variance, and to sharpen the separation between observations groups. The results of supervised models were validated using cross permutation tests and ANOVA. Statistical significances were then assessed for the potential discriminant compounds thanks to analysis of variance (ANOVA) or t-test. Based on this analysis, wine maturation effect was monitored, and discriminant metabolites were identified.

Regarding aging effect, wines analyzed after one month of aging exhibit higher contents of amino acids, catechin and epicatechin, acetoin and choline. On another side, wines analyzed after twelve months of aging present higher contents of acetic acid, ethyl lactate, arabinose, and glucose.

As it concerns barrel origins, samples showed higher heterogeneity after one month than after twelve months. However, significant differences were observed between wines depending on the barrel manufacturers.

HAZE RISK ASSESSMENT OF MUSCAT MUSTS AND WINES : WHICH LABORATORY TEST ALLOWS A RELIABLE ESTIMATION OF THE HEATWAVE REALITY?

Wines made from Muscat d’Alexandria grapes exhibit a high haze risk. For this reason, they are systematically treated with bentonite, on the must and sometimes also on wine. In most oenological labora-tories and in companies (trade, cooperatives, independent winegrowers), the test that is by far the most widely used, on a worldwide scale, remains the heat test at 80°C for 30 minutes to 2 hours (and some-times up to 6 hours). The tannin test (sometimes coupled with a heat treatment) and the Bentotest are still used. In this study, we show that all these tests give much higher estimates of the haze risk than the risk assessed by a 24-48h treatment at 42°C, which represents a heat wave.

FOURIER TRANSFORM INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY IN MONITORING THE WINE PRODUCTION

The complexity of the wine matrix makes the monitoring of the winemaking process crucial. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) along with chemometrics is considered an effective analytical tool combining good accuracy, robustness, high sample throughput, and “green character”. Portable and non-portable FTIR devices are already used by the wine industry for routine analysis. However, the analytical calibrations need to be enriched, and some others are still waiting to be thoroughly developed.

INVESTIGATING TERROIR TYPICITY: A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY BASED ON THE AROMATIC AND SENSORIAL PROFILES OF RED WINES FROM CORBIÈRES APPELLATION

Volatile compounds play a significant role on the organoleptic properties defining wines quality. This particular role was exploited in several studies with the aim to differentiate wines from a more or less extensive production area, according to their sensory profile [1], as well as their chemical composition [2,3] (Di Paola-Naranjo et al., 2011; Kustos et al., 2020). Indeed, since aroma compounds development in grapes depends primarily on the environmental conditions of the vines and grapes (soil and climate), it is conceivable that these parameters craft the aromatic signature of the wine produced, in relation to its origin (Van Leeuwen et al., 2020). In this work, a general study on the aromatic and sensorial profile of wines produced in five sub-regions of the Corbières denomination, a renowned red grape varieties viticultural region in South France, was reported.

THE IMPACT OF NON-SACCHAROMYCES YEASTS ON THE WHITE WINE QUALITY

Selected strains of non-Saccharomyces yeasts showed a positive effect on sensory characteristics and aromatic complexity of wine. A sequential microbial culture of non-Saccharomyces and S. cerevisiae species is usually inoculated due to poorer fermentability of non-Saccharomyces species. The aim of the study was to investigate the role of non-Saccharomyces yeasts in the production of white wines. We evaluated how individual combinations of sequential inoculations of non-Saccharomyces and S. cerevisiae species affect the aromatic compounds (volatile thiols and esters) and sensory characteristics of the wines.
