La haie bocagère comme critère de zonage à l’échelle parcellaire

Abstract

Dans les AOC Française, la zone de production de la matière première peut faire l’objet d’une délimitation parcellaire basée sur des critères de milieu physique et d’usage D’autre part de nombreux zonages environnementaux se développent et les AOC sont appelées à intégrer des dispositions relatives à ces préoccupations. Les haies, à travers leurs effets sur les modifications locales du climat régional et sur la biodiversité fonctionnelle, peuvent impacter le fonctionnement de la vigne et des vergers. C’est à ce titre que leur prise en compte comme critère de délimitation est envisagé.
L’examen des effets de la haie sur le climat parcellaire montre qu’au sein d’une parcelle bocagère, on assiste globalement à une réduction de la vitesse du vent et du pouvoir évaporant de l’air, à une augmentation de la température moyenne, de l’amplitude thermique journalière par élévation des températures diurnes et diminution températures nocturnes et à un risque accru des gelées printanières.
Le rôle de la haie sur la biodiversité fonctionnelle est décrit à travers une liste d’auxiliaires entomophages et pollinisateurs auxquels elle fournie des abris pour l’hivernage et la reproduction ainsi que des ressources vitales grâce aux proies et aux fleurs qu’elle abrite en dehors des périodes végétatives de la vigne ou du verger, comme par exemple le pollen et nectar offerts aux espèces dont seules les larves sont zoophages.
Un exemple d’intégration de la présence des haies dans la méthode de zonage des terroirs viticoles développé par l’Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA) d’Angers est cité ainsi qu’une première application à la délimitation parcellaire d’une AOC cidricole de l’ouest de la France. Mais la perspective de l’élargissement du recours à présence de haies dans les opérations de zonage nécessitera de nombreux travaux préalables. Par exemple, les distances aux haies et leur hauteur devront être précisées en fonction des caractéristiques climatiques locales et par rapport aux distances parcourables par les auxiliaires recherchés. De manière générale, si la haie fait son entrée dans le zonage des terroirs, elle sera plutôt intégrée comme un principe de délimitation dont découleront des critères spécifiques en fonction des situations.

English version: In french AOC, basic products can be localized on a field basis according to natural and human criteria. Besides, many environmental zoning are developped. Thus AOC must nowadays take this concern into account. This paper deals with edges as a new zoning criterium. Edges have two main impacts on vine and orchard productions: that is local climate and functionnal biodiversity changes.
Climatic changes mainly rely on wind speed and evaporation decrease and an increase in temperature, temperature range and risk of spring frost. Edges impacts on functionnal biodiversity are largely described through a list of entomophages and pollinisators that benefit from winter and reprodcution shelter and food reserve. Preys and flowers may develop in edges even when the crop not in vegetative stage yet. Pollen and nectar feed adults insects whose larvae is zoophagus. This paper also relates two french experience of edges integration in the terroir definition: one for vine in the Loire Valley and one ifor cider in the west of France.
Further work will be needed to enlarge AOC zoning with this environmental criterium such as the distance between edge and crop, local climatic change characteristics, specific auxilliary insects and vegetative species etc.

Sensory profile: a tool to characterize originality of wines produced without sulfites

A trend to reduce chemical inputs in wines exists, especially sulfur dioxide (SO2). This additive is widely used due to its antioxidant, antiseptic and antioxidasic properties. During without sulfites vinification, bioprotection by adding yeast on harvest could be a sulfites alternative. With extension of this wine market, sensory impact linked to sulfites absence and/or sulfites alternative should be evaluated. That’s what this approach proposes to do, focusing on sensory characteristics of wines produced with or without SO2 addition during the winemaking process. METHODS: Wines were elaborated from Merlot grapes of two maturity levels according to three modalities: SO2, without SO2 and bioprotection on harvest (mix of Torulaspora delbrueckii and Metschnikowia pulcherrima). SO2 modality was sulfited throughout the winemaking and aging processes whether other modalities received any addition. After two years of aging, sensory studies were carried out with a specific panel for one month. First, descriptors were generated to differentiate the wines, then panelists were trained on these specific descriptors for five sessions and finally wines sensory profiles were elaborated

Is the consumer ready for innovative fruit wines?

AIM: Wine consumption in the last fifteen years showed a decrease in Europe [1]. New alternatives of wines appeared on the market. Those beverages are obtained by blending wines and fruit juices or flavoring wines with artificial or natural aromas and have medium alcohol content (from 8 to 10.5%) [2]. Recently, an innovative fruit wine has been proposed obtained by co-fermenting grape must and kiwi juice [3] whose potential attractiveness to consumers should be exploited. However, differences in product acceptability and perception, as well as the individuals’ willingness to consume and pay could change in function of subjects socio-demographic characteristics. The target group selected is represented by young adults (18-35 years old) consumption groups.

Biovi: a research program for reducing chemical input in vine and wine

Decrease of chemical inputs during vine management and winemaking is of great importance from a political and societal point of view. In our ongoing project we propose alternative tools to chemicals in the vineyard and the cellar. We have compared a conventional vineyard protection strategy to an alternative strategy using copper and biocontrol products (Biocontrol) against downy

Wine without added SO2: Oxygen impact and color evolution during red wine aging

SO2 play a major role in wine stability and evolution during its aging and storage. Winemaking without SO2 is a big challenge for the winemakers since the lack of SO2 affects directly the wine chemical evolution such as the aromas compounds as well as the phenolic compounds. During the red wine aging, phenolic compounds such as anthocyanin, responsible of the red wine colour, and tannins, responsible of the mouthfeel organoleptic properties of wine, evolved quickly from the winemaking process to aging [1]. A lot of new interaction and molecules occurred lead by oxygen[2] thus the lack of SO2 will induce wine properties changes. Nowadays, the phenolic composition of the wine without added SO2 have not been clearly reported.

Typologie des paysages de vigne: un outil de planification

La culture de la vigne dessine un paysage rural original. En effet, de par ses qualités physiologiques, ses exigences agronomiques et les techniques qu’elle requiert, elle est à l’origine d’un portrait de nature sculpté, architecturé, parfois même comparé à l’art des jardins. A ce que l’on pourrait le cas échéant qualifier d’« art involontaire »
