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.

Les AOC : un frein ou un moteur à l’innovation ? Retour sur l’histoire économique, scientifique, sociale et technique des vins d’appellation au XXe siècle en France

At a time when the world’s winegrowing industry is having to adapt to a number of challenges, winegrowers are wondering about the consequent changes they will have to make (grape varieties, changes in vineyard and cellar techniques). For winegrowers and consumers alike, there is also the question of how these changes will affect the taste of their wines. This research, based on the study of numerous sources and archives from the 20th century, some of which have never been published before, aims to show that, in the recent past, the winegrowing world has shown incredible resilience in the face of crises, and that the taste and perception of fine wines has changed considerably in 100 years.

Towards understanding the mechanisms of resistance to grapevine Flavescence dorée

Flavescence dorée (FD) is a very serious grapevine disease, classified as quarantine in europe, where it appeared in the middle of the last century. It is associated with the presence of phytoplasmas, transmitted in the vineyard by a leafhopper of american origin, scaphoideus titanus. FD causes severe wine production losses and often leads to plant death. There are currently no alternative solutions to insecticide treatments against the vector and uprooting diseased vines.

Natural glycolipids for the control of spoilage organisms in red wine

A natural glycolipid mixture obtained from the edible mushroom dacryopinax spathularia (“glycolipids”) is known to be an effective and approved antimicrobial treatment in non-alcoholic beverages at concentrations ranging from 5 – 100 mg/l. It has found a place alongside DMDC for the provision of microbial stability in soft drinks. These properties make the natural and sustainably produced glycolipids a promising candidate for the supplementation or replacement of SO2 in different winemaking processes.

Annually, around 31.95 million tonnes of grapevine prunings are produced worldwide as agricultural waste.

Direct-injection HPLC for simultaneous determination of individual and total polyphenols in red wines: validation of the method

Polyphenols are very important compounds of red wines, serving as essential bioactive components and playing an important role in sensory properties. The determination of individual phenolic compounds in red wine is commonly performed by HPLC analysis, while the total polyphenols are quantified by spectrophotometric methods, usually by the method of absorbance at 280 nm (index of ribéreau-gayon) or the method of index of folin-ciocalteu. In this work, we pioneeringly proposed a new and fast method for simultaneous determination of individual and total polyphenols in red wines by direct-injection HPLC without sample preparation.
