«Observatoire Mourvèdre»: (2) climatic mapping for successful plantation of Cv. Mourvèdre

Abstract

A statistical model of sugar potential for Mourvèdre grapevine cultivar has been obtained using a group of 32 plots all around de south-east french mediterranean area. It is aimed to better understand the relations between viticultural practices and quality. The model shows strong influence of the temperature components on maturity. That is why a mapping valorization has been worked on at the local scale of a small viticultural region (2000 ha) and for the year 2005. The interpolation of temperature data was possible thanks to the MITEF method, which is acurate at a resolution of 50m. Rebuilding phenological stages has been done with a model using temperature summing adapted to Mourvèdre cv.. With moderate level of yield and canopy, the sugar potential for 2005 ranged from 11 to 14 %vol. depending on the location. With a maturity level of 12% vol. given as a minimal, it is thus possible to determine favourable and less favourable areas for the variety. Finally, turning up or down the level of yield or canopy gives us simulations of the impact of the grower practices on maturity potential, leading to an extent or a reduction of the possible planting area.

Drought responses of grapevine cultivars under different environments

Using grapevine genetic diversity is one of the strategies to adapt viticulture to climate change. In this sense, assessing the plasticity of cultivars in their responses to environmental conditions is essential. For this purpose, the drought tolerance of Grenache, Tempranillo and Semillon cultivars grafted onto SO4 was evaluated at two experimental vineyards, one located in Valencia (Spain) and the other in Bordeaux (France). This was done by assessing gas exchange parameters, water relations and leaf hydraulic traits at the end of the season.

Variability in the content of coarse elements in a viticultural plot in the Graves appellation: relationship with geophysical data

Il a été souvent démontré (Seguin, 1970), que les meilleurs terroirs sont ceux qui présentent pendant la période de maturation du raisin, une régulation et une limitation de l’alimentation hydrique de la vigne. Si on s’intéresse aux facteurs influençant ce régime hydrique, on constate le rôle prépondérant du taux d’éléments grossiers non poreux qui limitent la réserve utile du sol en diminuant le taux de terre fine. De plus, ces éléments grossiers jouent également un rôle au niveau du pédo-climat thermique car leur conductivité thermique et leur chaleur spécifique sont plus élevées que celles de la terre fine. Ainsi le sol se réchauffera et se refroidira plus rapidement (Saini et McLean, 1967), (Gras, 1994).

Vine phenology and climate in Bordeaux, since the beginning of the XIXth century

We analyze the effects of climate (temperature and pluviometry) on the phenologic stages of the vine (débourrement, flowering, ripening and grape harvest). We rebuilt time series starting from the beginning of the XIXth century for the Medoc and the area of Bordeaux, data very seldom mobilized by researchers.
