La viticulture durable: concept et application aux terroirs viticoles

Abstract

Evoquer la notion de durabilité pour la vigne, plante multimillénaire, et le vin, tous deux intimement liés aux origines de notre civilisation, peut paraître un non-sens. Le vin revêt en effet une dimension culturelle, voire cultuelle intemporelle, qui recouvre tout à la fois les sciences, les savoir-faire ancestraux, la sociologie, les religions. Notre filière a en effet imprimé une marque indélébile, une symbolique immortelle, dans l’évolution du monde.
Le développement durable traduit fidèlement l’esprit d’un type de développement, formalisé par le rapport Brundtland, à l’origine du concept :

un développement qui répond aux besoins du présent, sans compromettre la capacité des générations futures de répondre aux leurs.
La préservation de l’environnement et plus globalement la Viticulture Durable, s’intègrent progressivement dans la plupart des itinéraires techniques viticoles et oenologiques. A partir des années 90, une vision durable associant notamment les impacts locaux et planétaires ont été développés au sein de l’Organisation Internationale de la Vigne et du Vin, (Résolution OIV CST 1/2004 www.oiv.int) :
« Approche globale à l’échelle des systèmes de production et de transformation des raisins, associant à la fois la pérennité économique des structures et des territoires, l’obtention de produits de qualité, la prise en compte des exigences d’une viticulture de précision, des risques liés à l’environnement, à la sécurité des produits et la santé des consommateurs et la valorisation des aspects patrimoniaux, historiques, culturels, écologiques et paysagers ».

Rationalising the impact of time, light, temperature, and oxygen on the evolution of rosé wines by means of a surface response methodology approach

The widespread use of flint glass bottles for rosé wines is driven by consumer preference for color as a key choice factor.

The real sour grapes: genetic Loci, genes, and metabolic changes associated with grape malate levels

Insufficient levels of malate and lack of acidity in commercial grape cultivars (V.vinifera) hinders the quality of fruit grown in warm climates. Conversely, excessive levels of malate and sourness in wild Vitis grape, leads to unpalatable fruit and complicates the introgression of valuable disease resistant alleles through breeding. Nonetheless, albeit decades of research, knowledge regarding the molecular regulation of malate levels in grape remains limited.

Terroir and Typicity: proposed definitions for two essential concepts in the understanding of Geographical Indications and sustainable development

The content of this communication arises from the deliberations of a working group mandated within the framework of the INRA-INAO 2000-2003 research convention, which brought together INAO representatives and researchers who had worked on AOCs or PGIs, in disciplines from the sphere of the humanities (consumer science, marketing, rural development) and biotechnical sciences (agronomy, animal production science, technology, biochemistry).

Characterization of vine performance using remote sensing tools

Today, a variety of remote sensing tools are used to characterise plant performance. However, the vine is rarely studied, as a major crop specificity is canopy discontinuity. Registered images of the vineyard are anisotropic, therefore difficult to analyse.

The French grapevine breeding program resdur: state of the art and perspectives

The French grapevine breeding program for durable resistance to downy and powdery mildew (INRAE-ResDur) was initiated more than 20 years ago to help reduce the heavy use of plant protection products and provide a durable mean to cope with a strong pathogen pressure. This program has now proved to be effective, with about ten new varieties already officially registered. However, there is still a lot to be done (1) to reduce the duration of each breeding cycle, (2) to diversify disease factors’ pyramiding and anticipate emerging diseases, (3) to work towards larger adoption of the new resistant varieties. New breeding schemes incorporating for example genomic prediction of breeding values are being evaluated to accelerate genetic gains, saving cost and time while handling complex traits.
