Meso-scale future climate modeling (5 km resolution): application over French wine regions under the SRES A2 scenario (2041-2050)

Abstract

In order to assess climate change at regional scales suitable to viticulture, the outputs of ARPEGE_Climat global model (resolution 0.5°) were downscaled using the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) and nested grids, providing downscaled datasets of 5 km resolution over France. Simulations were performed for two periods: 1991-2000, to assess the method against observations and quantify the large-scale induced biases; and 2041-2050 as near future climate projection under the SRES A2 scenario conditions. Results for July maximum temperatures, focussing on 6 wine regions, show RAMS contribution in reducing the large-scale bias, leading to a better assessment of climate change, yet with spatial differences.

Predicting oxygen consumption rate by tannins through sweep linear voltammetry and machine learning models

Nowadays, it is well known that oxygen significantly impacts wine quality. The amount of oxygen wine consumes during the winemaking process depends on several factors, such as storage conditions, the number of rackings, the materials used for aging, and the type of closure chosen for bottling.

PROTEOMIC STUDY OF THE USE OF MANNOPROTEINS BY OENOCOCCUS OENI TO IMPROVE MALOLACTIC FERMENTATION

Malolactic fermentation (MLF) is a desired process to decrease acidity in wine. This fermentation, carried out mostly by Oenococcus oeni, is sometimes challenging due to the wine stress factors affecting this lactic acid bacterium. Wine is a harsh environment for microbial survival due to the presence of ethanol and the low pH, and with limited nutrients that compromise O. oeni development. This may result in slow or stuck fermentations. After the alcoholic fermentation the nutrients that remain in the medium, mainly released by yeast, can be used in a beneficial way by O. oeni during MLF.

Spontaneous fermentation dynamics of indigenous yeast populations and their effect on the sensory properties of Riesling

Varietal Riesling aroma relies strongly on the formation and liberation of bound aroma compounds. Floral monoterpenes, green C6-alcohols, fruity C13-norisoprenoids and spicy volatile phenols are predominantly bound to disaccharides, which are produced and stored in the grape berry during berry maturation.
