Gevrey-Chambertin : les enjeux d’un territoire vitivinicole locale à l’échelle mondiale

Résumé

Nom emblématique de la Bourgogne viticole, à quelques kilomètres de Dijon, Gevrey-Chambertin s’impose comme une petite ville viticole de notoriété internationale au cœur d’un prestigieux vignoble de vin rouge inscrit au Patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO.

Cette notoriété s’appuie tout d’abord sur l’histoire de la création d’un modèle vitivinicole de « terroir » et de ses « vins de vignerons » consacré par la création des appellations d’origine et la promotion de micro-parcelles élevées au rang de « Grands Crus » (1).

Elle fonde aujourd’hui la réussite locale d’une cinquantaine de petits domaines viticoles qui exportent largement leurs vins partout à travers le monde, participant à la renommée mondiale de Gevrey-Chambertin (2).

Pourtant, cette réussite provoque localement une hausse considérable du prix des parcelles de vignes, limitant les successions, accélérant les investissements extérieurs, au moment où le modèle des appellations d’origine suscite de nombreuses interrogations sur son évolution (3).

Quel sera donc l’avenir de cette petite ville viticole de Bourgogne, de ses vignerons et de la réussite de leur modèle économique portés par une marque territoriale devenue mondiale, à l’épreuve des grandes mutations réglementaires en cours ?

Gevrey-Chambertin: die herausforderungen einer lokalen weinregion im globalen maßstab 

Gevrey-chambertin, ein symbolträchtiger name der weinregion burgund, liegt nur wenige kilometer von dijon entfernt und ist eine kleine weinstadt von internationalem ruf im herzen eines prestigeträchtigen rotweinanbaugebiets, das zum unesco-weltkulturerbe gehört. Diese bekanntheit beruht vor allem auf der geschichte der schaffung eines weinbaumodells des „terroirs“ und seiner „weinbauernweine“, die durch die schaffung von herkunftsbezeichnungen und die förderung hochwertiger kleinparzellen etabliert wurden „grands crus“ (1). Heute ist es die grundlage für den lokalen erfolg von rund fünfzig kleinen weingütern, die ihre weine in die ganze welt exportieren und so zum weltweiten ruf von gevrey-chambertin beitragen (2). Allerdings führt dieser erfolg vor ort zu einem erheblichen anstieg der weinbauparzellenpreise, einer einschränkung der nachfolge und einer beschleunigung externer investitionen zu einer zeit, in der das modell der ursprungsbezeichnungen zahlreiche fragen zu seiner entwicklung aufwirft (3). Wie sieht also die zukunft dieser kleinen winzerstadt im burgund aus? Ihre winzer und der erfolg ihres wirtschaftsmodells, das von einer global gewordenen territorialen marke getragen wird, haben den großen regulatorischen änderungen standgehalten?  Christophe Lucand.

Gevrey-Chambertin: the challenges facing a local wine-producing region on a global scale

An emblematic name of the burgundy wine region, a few kilometers from dijon, Gevrey-Chambertin stands out as a small wine town of international renown in the heart of a prestigious red wine vineyard listed as a unesco world heritage site. This notoriety is based first of all on the history of the creation of a vitivinicultural model of “terroir” and its ” winegrowers’ wines” (vins de vignerons) established by the creation of protected designation of origin and the promotion of high micro-plots to the rank of “grands crus” (1). Today, it is the foundation of the local success of around fifty small wine estates which widely export their wines throughout the world, contributing to the worldwide reputation of Gevrey-Chambertin (2). However, this success locally causes a considerable increase in the price of plots of vines, limiting successions, accelerating external investments, at a time when the model of appellations of origin raises numerous questions about its evolution (3). So what will be the future of this small wine-growing town in Burgundy, its winegrowers and the success of their economic model supported by a territorial brand that has become global, withstood the major regulatory changes underway?  Christophe Lucand.

SAVOIR: A project promoting innovative and effective prophylactic methods in viticulture, as part of the governmental plan to anticipate the withdrawal of plant protection products in France (PARSADA)

Faced with the likely withdrawal of commercial specialities from use in the short to medium term, France has decided to implement an ambitious action plan to anticipate and avoid withdrawal without alternative solutions. The French wine industry (cniv and ifv) has been heavily involved in this action to define priorities. faced with the risk of the withdrawal of multi-site fungicides (folpel, dithianon, copper) coupled with the probable reduction in single-site fungicide solutions, mildew and black rot have been identified as the priority uses.

From vine to wine : a multi-trait experiment for increasing the varietal diversity in the bordeaux wine region. How to adapt to climate change without damaging terroir expression?

Context and purpose of the study climate change is impacting wine typicity across the globe, raising concerns in wine regions historically renowned for the quality of their terroir. Replacing some of the plant material can be an efficient lever for adapting to climate change. However, the change of cultivars also raises questions about the region’s wine typicity. This study, based on seven years of data, investigates the potential adaptability of over 50 different varieties in the bordeaux wine region.

OmicBots – An innovative and intelligent multi-omics platform facing wine sector challenges

To face emerging competition and challenges, wine producers globally rely on precision viticulture (PV) solutions to boost productivity, enhance quality, increase profitability, and reduce the environmental impact of vineyards. Current pv methods predominantly use multispectral sensor data from several platforms (satellites or vineyard installations). However, these applications generally use data analysis strategies lacking physiological grapevine support.

Market entry strategies in the U.S. alcohol distribution: The case of French wine exporters

This study examines the different strategies adopted by wine exporters located in France for penetrating international alcohol distribution networks in the U.S. market (and to a lesser extent the Canadian market). Grounded in the Business-to-Business (B2B) marketing literature (Ellegaard and Medlin, 2018), this study adopts a framework integrating a ‘Stakeholder’ approach for understanding the logics behind exporters’ strategies to penetrate the alcohol distribution networks (wholesalers, importers, alcohol monopolies).

Alcohol preference and health behaviors in patients with cardiometabolic diseases: insights from the multi-center iact cross-sectional study
