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 ».

Lactic acid bacteria: A possible aid to the remediation of smoke taint?

With climate change, the occurrence of wildfires has increased in several viticultural regions of the world. Subsequently, smoke taint has become a major issue, threatening the sustainability of the wine industry.

A fine scale study of temperature variability in the Saint-Emilion area (Bordeaux, France)

As the quality and typicity of wine are influenced by the climate, it is essential to have a good knowledge of climate variability, especially with regard to temperature, which has a great impact on vine behavior and grape ripening.

WHICH TERROIR-RELATED FACTORS INFLUENCE THE MOST VOLATILE COMPOUND PRODUCTION IN COGNAC BASE WINE?

Cognac is a famous spirit produced in southwest France in the region of the eponymous town from wines mainly from Vitis vinifera cv. Ugni blanc. This variety gives very acidic and poorly aromatic base wines for distillation which are produced according to a very specific procedure. Grapes are picked at low sugar concentrations ranging 13-21 °Brix and musts with high turbidity (>500 NTU) are fermented without sulphite addition [1]. Fermentative aromas, as esters and higher alcohols, are currently the main quality markers considered in Cognac spirits.

Rootstock differences in soil-water uptake during drying-wetting cycles imaged with 3d electrical resistivity tomography

Limited knowledge has been acquired on grapevine roots and rhizosphere processes because of harder access when compared to aerial parts. There is need for new methods to study root behavior in undisturbed field conditions, and relate these effects on canopy and yield. The aim of this multidisciplinary study was to image and quantify spatial-temporal differences in soil-water uptake by genetically different rootstocks and to assess the response of the canopy during drought and rewetting.

Discrimination of monovarietal Italian red wines using derivative voltammetry

Identification of specific analytical fingerprints associated to grape variety, origin, or vintage is of great interest for wine producers, regulatory agencies, and consumers. However, assessing such varietal fingerprint is complex, time consuming, and requires expensive analytical techniques. Voltammetry is a fast, cheap, and user-friendly analytical tool that has been used to investigate and measure wine phenolics.
