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.

Phenolic composition of Bordeaux grapes 2009 vintage: comparison with 2006, 2007 and 2008 vintages

‘Cabernet sauvignon’ and ‘Merlot’ are among the most recognized red wine grape cultivars. This work is aimed at investigating the proanthocyanidin composition of skins and seeds to determine the grape variety and the vintage effects on the phenolic composition of Bordeaux grapes.

Fertility assessment in Vitis vinifera L., cv. Alvarinho

The Portuguese wine production is characterized by wide yield fluctuations, causing considerable implications in the economic performance of this sector. The possibility of predicting the yield in advance is crucial as it enables preliminary planning and management of the available resources. The present work aims to study and evaluate two different techniques for the assessment of vine fertility. vineyards.

The 1-hydroxyoctan-3-one, a molecule potentially involved in the fresh mushroom off-flavor in wines

An organoleptic defect, called fresh mushrooms off-flavor (FMOff), appeared in wines and spirits since the 2000’s. Numerous researches demonstrated that octen-3-one, 3-octanol and octen-3-ol (C8 compounds) were involved in the mushroom off-flavor in wines

The FEM grapevine breeding program: new registered varieties (mid-)resistant to the main ampelopathies

“Vinum debet esse naturale ex genimine vitis et non corruptum”. The Eucharistic wine must be made with pure grapes that must not be contaminated in any way. This is how wine was born in the monastery of the Augustinians, and that is how the genetic improvement of grapevine implemented over the decades at the Agricultural Institute of San Michele all’Adige (since 1874; Trentino – Italy) has been oriented to make the cultivation of grapes always more sustainable. This concept is still current and meets the worldwide urgent need of reducing the use of chemicals, under a climate crisis scenario. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, the varieties introduced in Trentino and the new cultivars produced by pioneer breeders have already embraced the principle of sustainable viticulture.
