New markers for monitoring “fresh mushroom aroma” in wine: A dual approach using microbiological and chemical tools from the vineyard to winery–A synthesis of recent research advances

Abstract

The “fresh mushroom aroma” has been recognized by the wine industry as an emerging defect since the 2000s. For many years, this off-flavour was not specifically characterized and rather grouped under “earthy” and “musty” taints. However, it has become increasingly problematic due to its rising prevalence. After five years of collaborative research, new markers have been identified for monitoring this novel risk. These findings enhance our understanding of the “fresh mushroom off-flavour” throughout the entire winemaking process, from vineyard cultivation to wine production. The first part focused on determining mycobiota dynamics from vine to wine and identified members of the Penicillium genus as specifically associated with this off-flavour in wines. The second part provided practical benefits for oenologists as we identified a new chemical marker most likely associated with the early stages of this defect development. 1- hydroxyoctan-3-one was identified for the first time as a significant volatile marker involved in “fresh mushroom aroma”. Combined together, these research advances expand our current knowledge, and provide novel solutions and tools for effectively preventing “fresh mushroom aroma” off-flavour in wines.

Nuovi marcatori per la valutazione del rischio dell’aroma di ‘fungho frescho’ nei vini: un duplice approccio utilizzando strumenti microbiologici e chimici dalla vigna alla cantina

L’aroma di ‘fungho fresoi’ è stato riconosciuto dall’industria vinicola come un difetto emergente a partire dagli anni 2000. Per molti anni, questo aroma non era stato specificamente caratterizzato ed era piuttosto raggruppato sotto le etichette di odori ‘terrosi’ e ‘muffiti’. Tuttavia, è diventato sempre più problematico a causa della sua crescente prevalenza. In alcune vigne, gli episodi di questo aroma si verificanocon una frequenza quasi quinquennale. Questa tendenza potrebbe essere associata ai cambiamenti climatici che interessano regioni più inclini a stagioni calde e umide. Dopo cinque anni di ricerca collaborativa, che ha coinvolto istituti accademici, organizzazioni interprofessionali e partner del settore privato, sono stati identificati nuovi marcatori per valutare questo nuovo rischio. Queste scoperte migliorano la nostra comprensione dell’aroma di ‘fungo fresco’ lungo l’intero processo di produzione del vino, dalla coltivazione del vigneto alla produzione del vino. La nostra strategia di ricerca ha utilizzato un approccio duplice e allo stesso tempo altamente originale. Il primo pacchetto di lavoro si è concentrato sulla determinazione dell’evoluzione del micobiota dalla vite al vino. Abbiamo identificato generi microbici specifici associati a questo aroma nei vini (Destanque et al., 2024). Il secondo pacchetto di lavoro ha fornito benefici pratici per gli enologi attarverso l’identificazione di un nuovo marcatore chimico probabilmente associato alle prime fasi dello sviluppo di questo difetto. Il composto 1-idrossi-ottan-3-one è stato identificato per la prima volta (Delcros et al., 2023) come un importante marcatore volatile coinvolto nell’aroma da fungo fresco. Combinati insieme, questi progressi nella ricerca espandono la nostra conoscenza attuale e forniscono soluzioni e strumenti innovativi per prevenire efficacemente l’aroma di ‘fungo fresco’ nei vini.” 

De nouveaux marqueurs pour l’évaluation du risque « d’arôme de champignon frais » dans le vin : une double approche microbiologique et chimique conduite de la vigne au vin

Depuis les années 2000, le défaut « arôme de champignon frais » semble être de plus en plus fréquemment rencontré par les professionnels de la filière viticole. Historiquement classé parmi les défauts « moisi – terreux », il est aujourd’hui spécifiquement décrit et sa prévalence croissante en fait un sujet de préoccupation. Dans certains vignobles, son incidence peut être de l’ordre d’une fois tous les cinq ans. Cette tendance pourrait être liée aux changements climatiques affectant ces régions plus souvent soumises à des épisodes chauds et humides. Fruit d’une collaboration soutenue de cinq années impliquant des centres de recherche académiques, des organisations interprofessionnelles et des partenaires du secteur privé, de nouveaux marqueurs ont été identifiés pour caractériser et évaluer ce risque. Aujourd’hui, ces découvertes améliorent notre compréhension du défaut « arôme de champignon frais » tout au long du process de vinification, depuis le raisin jusqu’au produit fini L’originalité de notre stratégie de recherche a été de privilégier une approche multidisciplinaire sur les domaines de la microbiologie et ceux de la chimie. Le premier volet des travaux s’est concentré sur la caractérisation et l’évolution du mycobiote de la vigne au vin. Nous avons ainsi identifié des genres microbiens spécifiquement associés au défaut « arôme de champignon frais » dans les vins (Destanque et al., 2024). Le second volet de nos travaux a conduit à l’identification d’un nouveau marqueur chimique, utilisable par les œnologues et probablement associé à des stades précoces de l’apparition de ce défaut. Cette nouvelle molécule, la 1-hydroxy-octan-3-one, a été identifiée et caractérisée pour la première fois dans les vins (Delcros et al., 2023) et décrite comme un marqueur significatif de « l’arôme champignon frais ». Combinées, ces différentes avancées élargissent nos connaissances actuelles et fournissent de nouvelles solutions, de nouveaux outils, pour anticiper l’apparition du défaut « arôme de champignon frais » dans les vins.

Evolution of oak barrels C-glucosidic ellagitannins

During oak wood contact, wine undergoes important modifications that modulate its organoleptic quality and complexity, including its aroma, structure, astringency, bitterness and color. Vescalagin and castalagin are the two main C-glucosidic ellagitannins found in oak wood used for wine aging wood but lyxose/xylose derivatives (grandinin and roburin e) and dimeric forms (roburins a,b, c and d) are also present. The presence of several hydroxyl groups in the ortho-positions at the periphery of the structure of the ellagitannin isomers allows these molecules to undergo oxidation or condensation reactions with other compounds.

Le réseau français des partenaires de la sélection vigne : un dispositif unique au monde au service de la sauvegarde du patrimoine variétal

The French vine selection partners network is currently made up of 40 regional partners, grouped around IFV (French Institute for Vine and Wine) and INRAE (national research institute for agriculture and environment), whose missions are preservation, selection, and innovation of our varietal diversity. The originality of this device is based on a 3-level organisation: – varietal diversity preservation, with the world reference: the INRAE’s vine genetics resources centre of Vassal-Montpellier (Marseillan, France), the world’s largest ampelographic collection, which includes nearly 6 000 accessions of cultivated Vitis vinifera from 54 countries, as well as rootstocks, interspecific hybrids, wild vines (lambrusques) and wild American and Asian species.

100 ans d’évolution des règles relatives à l’encépagement des AOC viticoles françaises : quelles perspectives face aux enjeux contemporains

To characterize a wine, the most frequently used criteria describe its color, its origin, the grape varieties from which they come, or even for white wines its residual sugar content (dry, semi-dry, sweet). In france, the system of appellations of origin set up in 1919 was initially based solely on the notoriety and origin of the wines. But given the unfavorable consequences that this lack of details generated, the public authorities quickly integrated in 1927 into the “capus” law criteria for access to designations of origin, relating to the specific characteristics of the soils of the vineyards and the grape varieties used, in particular exclusion of interspecific hybrid varieties. In 1935 the creation of the aoc system confirmed the interest in precisely defining all the production conditions that must be implemented to be able to claim the benefit of an aoc, and grape varieties were an essential condition for acquisition.

Impact of yeast strains on wine profiles of nine PIWIs: focus on volatile thiols

Disease resistant grapevine varieties (PIWI) are increasingly important for sustainable wine production, yet the impact of different yeasts on their wine profiles remains poorly studied. In this study, nine white interspecies varieties (i.e., caladris blanc, fleurtai, hibernal, johanniter, muscaris, sauvignon kretos, soreli, souvignier gris, and voltis) grown at the faculty of agriculture, university of Zagreb (Croatia) were vinified with three different saccharomyces cerevisiae yeasts (control strain, zymaflore x5, and zymaflore xarom).
