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.

Enological technics to enhance the aromatic qualities of white spirits 

Eugenol has been identified as a quality marker in armagnac white spirits. In particular, those produced from the Baco blanc variety, the only hybrid variety authorised in a French PDO, bred since 1898 from noah (vitis labrusca x v.riparia) and folle blanche (v. Vinifera). The varietal compound of Baco blanc, eugenol has many original properties.

Analyses of a long-term soil temperature record for the prediction of climate change induced soil carbon changes and greenhouse gas emissions in vineyards

The evaluation of the current and future impact of climate change on viticulture requires an integrated view on a complex interacting system within the soil-plant-atmospheric continuum under continuous change. Aside of the globally observed increase in temperature in almost all viticulture regions for at least four decades, we observe several clear trends at the regional level in the ratio of precipitation to potential evapotranspiration. Additionally the recently published 6th assessment report of the ipcc (the physical science basis) shows case-dependent further expected shifts in climate patterns which will have substantial impacts on the way we will conduct viticulture in the decades to come.

Three new Apulian seedless varieties available for the table grape supply chain

The table grape industry in Europe is undergoing significant changes. For instance, in Italy, the national register of vine varieties was established in 1969, and since then, many varieties of table grapes have been registered. In the first thirty years, from 1969 to 1999, 62 seeded and 24 seedless varieties were registered. In the subsequent period, from 2000 to the present day, 23 seeded varieties and 99 seedless varieties were registered.

Colloids in red wines: new insights from recent research

Despite their significant impact on wine quality and stability, colloids in red wine remain relatively under-researched. A series of studies, developed in the context of the d-wines project, aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the structure, composition, and formation mechanisms of red wine colloids by studying monovarietal wines from 10 of the most significant Italian red grape varieties. Starting from the idea that proteins, polysaccharides, and tannins should be involved in colloid formation, 110 monovarietal red wines were analysed for these components, revealing high inter- and intra-varietal diversity [1].

Emosensory profile and chemical characterization of wine vinegar from the Douro and Rioja demarcated regions

Wine vinegars have a tangy flavor and are versatile in cooking. They’ve been used since the neolithic period and are now used as microbial inhibitors and acidifiers. They’re low in calories, have antioxidants, and have a long shelf life, but quality may decrease after opening. The objective of this study focuses on the physical-chemical, sensory, and emotional characterization of wine vinegar samples from the douro demarcated region and la rioja. In total, 22 samples of wine vinegar were analyzed at the time of opening.
