Potentiel des sols viticoles et qualité des vins

Abstract

[English version below]

La qualité des vins dépend de différents facteurs et procédés, notamment de la nature des terrains viticoles. Dans ce travail, nous avons cherché à établir les liens entre descripteurs pédologiques des parcelles et descripteurs sensoriels des vins. Sur la base de Classifications Ascendantes Hiérarchiques (CAH) et d’Analyses en Composante Principale (ACP), il a été possible d’établir des liens entre la nature des parcelles (sableuse, argileuse, sablo-graveuleuse) et certains descripteurs sensoriels des vins (chaleur, astringence, fruit noir) et plus globalement avec le type de vins élaborés.

Wine quality depends on various factors and processes, including type of soil. In this study, we sought to establish links between pedological data and sensory attributes of wines. Based on Hierarchical Ascendant Classification (HAC) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA), it was possible to establish links between the nature of the parcels (sandy, clayey, gravelly-sand) and some wine sensory descriptors (heat, astringency, black fruit) and more generally with the type of wines.

Study of the evolution of tannins during wine aging by mass spectrometry monitoring of oxidation markers released after chemical depolymerization

Among the many compounds in wine, condensed tannins play an important role in the organoleptic properties of the products; they are partly responsible for astringency, bitterness and also contribute to the color. This research work aims to study the oxidation state of these bio-heteropolymers which is an important lock in the analysis of processed products in order to better control their quality. Indeed, their identification remains at present a challenge because of the large heterogeneity of their degrees of polymerization (DP) based on 4 monomers (epicatechin, catechin, epigallocatechin, epicatechin-3-O-gallate) thus multiplying the number of oxidation products.
