Etude des effets millésime, situation et sol à partir d’un observatoire du Gamay en beaujolais

Abstract

Des expérimentations sur Gamay ont été réalisées en Beaujolais de 2000 à 2006 sur 10 parcelles d’AOC différentes. De nombreuses mesures ont été effectuées à différents stades (vigne, baies récoltées, vinification et bouteille avec ou sans vieillissement). Ces mesures sont également de natures différentes (données phénologiques, analytiques, dégustation). Des analyses de la composition des sols sont également disponibles. Des travaux d’analyse de données ont permis d’effectuer une analyse exploratoire de la base de données afin de déterminer et quantifier les effets de divers facteurs (parcelle, millésime) sur certains des paramètres mesurés au cours du procédé de vinification. Ces effets ont également été mis en relation avec l’analyse des sols.

Les résultats confirment l’effet important du millésime. Une typologie des millésimes se dégage grâce aux outils utilisés. Un fort effet parcelle est également mis en évidence. Une corrélation existe entre couleur et acidité. Il est vérifié que la variable de rendement n’est pas responsable de l’effet parcelle pour les témoins. L’effet parcelle est en partie bien expliqué par la précocité, liée en général à l’altitude et au climat. Par contre cet effet est peu expliqué par le type d’AOC. La typologie de composition des sols présente un lien avec le type d’AOC. Les Beaujolais-Villages présentent notamment une bonne homogénéité. La composition des sols semble avoir peu d’impact sur le raisin et le vin produits sur les témoins.

English version: From 2000 to 2006 an important study was carried out on 10 plots in different Beaujolais AOC. Numerous measures were made at different stages (vine, must, vinification) with different nature (phenology, chemical, sensorial analysis). Data analysis have allowed to determine and quantify factor effects such as situation or vintage on wine characteristics. Soil analysis were also used in this study.

Results confirm important effect of vintage and it is possible to classify the different vintages with statistic tools used in this study. An important situation effect, independent of yield, was also highlighted. This effect is well explained by earliness but poorly by AOC. A strong correlation exists between wine color and acidity. There is a good relation between soil type and AOC, particularly with Beaujolais-Villages. But soil composition seems to have a weak influence on grape and wine characteristics.

Enological and nutraceutical potential of some grape varieties tolerant to downy mildew and powdery mildew

AIM: Since 2012 the Veneto Region regulation (north-east Italy) allowed wine production using 20 hybrid grapevine varieties selected for their high tolerance to downy mildew and powdery mildew. Characterized by vigour, high grape productivity and low pesticide use, these varieties are suitable to develop sustainable viticulture in mountain areas located at medium altitudes.

Evaluation of new fem grapevine varieties resistant to the main fungal diseases

Context and purpose of the study. The genetic improvement of grapevines at the Edmund Mach Foundation (FEM) has evolved significantly since its inception, and its philosophy on sustainable viticulture through crossbreeding techniques aligns with the urgent need to reduce chemical use in agriculture.

Physiological response of new cultivars resistant to fungi confronted to drought in a semi-arid Mediterranean area

Water is one of the most limiting factors for viticulture in Mediterranean regions. Former researches showed that water shortage hampers both vegetative and reproductive developments. INRA is running programs to breed varieties carrying QTL of tolerance to major fungi, i.e. powdery and downy mildews. Some varieties have been already certified or are close to be certified. However, little is known about the response of these varieties to water deficit, which behavior is critical for their development. This study characterized physiological responses of 4 new varieties to water deficit and described relationship between them.

Extracellular substances of lactic acid bacteria interests in biotechnological practices applied to enology

Extracellular substances (ECS) represent all molecules outside the cytoplasmic membrane, which are not directly anchored to the cell wall of microorganisms living through a planktonic or biofilm phenotype. They are the high-biomolecular-weight secretions from microorganisms (i.e. extracellular polymeric substances – EPS – proteins, polysaccharides, humic acid, nucleic acid), and the products of cellular lysis and hydrolysis of macromolecules. In addition, some high- and low-molecular-weight organic and inorganic matters from environment can also be adsorbed to the EPS. All can be firmly bound to the cell surface, associated with the EPS matrix of biofilm, or released as being freely diffusing throughout the medium.

Impact of glutathione-rich inactivated yeast on wine chemical diversity

Glutathione-rich inactivated dry yeasts (GSH-IDY) are claimed to accumulate intracellularly and then release glutathione in the must.
