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.

Chitosan has been shown to enhance grapevine tolerance toward downy mildew while reducing the environmental impact of traditional protection products.

Application de l’Analyse du Cycle de Vie (ACV) à un domaine viticole

Since 1980, Château de l’Éclair has belonged to SICAREX Beaujolais and has been involved in experimentation for the Beaujolais vineyards. However, it is a commercial estate with profitability and quality constraints, which means that it has to meet the growing environmental expectations of consumers. Given the number of practices claimed to be environment-friendly, it is sometimes difficult to prioritize actions.

Integrated approach to grape stalks valorization: sustainable recovery of bioactive compounds and biofuel production

Grape stalks are a byproduct of the winemaking process and represent a valuable and inexpensive source of bioactive compounds. While their direct use in whole bunch fermentation is known, the majority of grape stalks are discarded, posing environmental and economic challenges.

The legal concept of “cultural heritage” to refurbish the wine sector’s priorities

Following the latest oiv global report (april 26, 2024), the prevailing perception of wine consumption finds itself undergoing one of its most challenging adjustments. It’s plausible to anticipate a shift in the scope of pdo wines towards more human-centered products (wells and stiefel, 2019), necessitating the entire sector to adapt strategies to public interest patterns (touzeau, 2010: 17-31). Previously, a dominant notion of cultural property underscored the value of wine regions; the primary interest revolved around estate owners and retailers, along with vigneron tales.
