La place du terroir dans le processus de patrimonialisation : l’exemple des paysages culturels viticoles du patrimoine mondial de l’Unesco

Abstract

Onze sites viticoles sont aujourd’hui inscrits sur la Liste du Patrimoine mondial de l’Unesco au titre des Paysages culturels. Si le caractère viticole de ces sites constitue l’argument principal de la démonstration de leur valeur patrimoniale, le terroir et ses caractéristiques biophysiques et environnementales tendent cependant à apparaître sur le mode mineur par rapport aux dimensions esthétiques et culturelles. En d’autres termes, les « caractéristiques spécifiques du sol, de la topographie, du climat, du paysage et de la biodiversité » (définition OIV) sont le plus souvent mobilisées comme éléments descriptifs dans la présentation des sites, mais ce sont davantage les caractéristiques esthétiques, historiques, architecturales et socioculturelles qui fournissent les critères servant à la démonstration de leur « Valeur Universelle Exceptionnelle ».

Dans cet article, nous proposons une analyse de la place relative occupée par le « terroir viticole » dans les critères présentés à l’Unesco en vue d’une inscription sur la liste du Patrimoine mondial dans deux Paysages culturels viticoles inscrits : La Juridiction de Saint-Emilion (France) et la Région viticole historique de Tokaj.

The colour pattern of flower arrangements influence wine tasters’ sensory description

The arrangements of flowers and wine counterparts are inextricably linked. Whether a fundamental aspect of tablescaping or acolytes to broader entertainment rituals, they have an entangled history since ancient times. The aim of this contribution is to verify the influence of visually delicate and robust flower arrangements on individual description of wines. Changes in the sensory description of wines were investigated during subjects’ (thirty-two participants) exposure to three different conditions: the presence of delicate, robust, or totally absent flower arrangements. In each condition, the same two wines were blind tasted: a wine previously defined as delicate – a Pinot Noir from Australia, and a wine known for its robust character – a Tannat from Uruguay.

Validation of a high-throughput method for the quantification of volatile carbonyl compounds in wine and its use in accelerated ageing experiments

the aim of this study was the optimization and validation of a robust and comprehensive method for the determination of volatile carbonyl compounds (VCCs) in wines

Aroma profile of ‘Pedro Ximenez’ sweet musts obtained from dried grapes by different methods

Aroma fraction of musts from grapes ‘Pedro Ximenez’ traditionally sun-dried and chamber-dried at 40 ºC and at 50 ºC during 8, 5 and 4 days respectively, destined for the production of sweet wines in Montilla-Moriles region (southern Spain) was studied.

Physical-chemical characterization of Moscatel de Setúbal fortified wines from different vintages

Moscatel de Setúbal is a Portuguese fortified wine with Protected Designation of Origin (PDO Setúbal), made from Moscatel de Setúbal grape variety (Muscat of Alexandria) [1].

Impact of aging on dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in Corvina and Corvinone wines

Amarone is an Italian red wine produced in the Valpolicella area, in north-eastern Italy. Due to its elaboration with withered grapes, Amarone is a rather unique example of dry red wine. However, there is very limited data so far concerning the volatile composition of commercial Amarone wines, which also undergo a cask aging of 2-4 years before release. The present work aims at characterizing the aroma composition of Amarone and to elucidate the relationships between chemical composition and sensory characters.
