«Observatoire Mourvèdre»: statistical modelling of quality for Cv. Mourvèdre

Abstract

Vine cultivar Mourvèdre is present all around the Mediterranean area and is interesting for its tannins and the specificity of its aromas. It is though difficult to manage. A wide project started in 1999 in order to determine what conditions are mostly important on the quality of the grapes and wines of Mourvèdre. During 5 years and on 32 different plots from Roussillon region up north towards Ardèche and east towards Var vineyards, a large amount of climatic, phenological, water stress, plant and grape data has been collected. Data mining PLS Spline method was used to model different variables of quality like sugar content in musts. The model obtained, that is able to predict the potential of a parcel, pointed out the major importance of the climate, as long as the yield and the leaf canopy management. It has then been validated on 4 different zones for the year 2005.

Terroir, sol et sous-sol : principes de modélisation spatiale de quelques paramètres physiques caractérisant le substrat altéré dans les régions viticoles établies sur socle ancien

For several years, the development of computer resources, and in particular of Geographic Information Systems, have allowed the emergence of a new approach to the analysis and characterization of wine-growing areas (Morlat, 1989; Laville, 1990). These methods, which make it possible to identify homogeneous areas or units of terroir, are based on crossing, statistical analysis (in particular Principal Component Analysis: PCA) and the integration of parameters describing the natural environment in which develop the vine.

Multispectral data from Sentinel-2 as a tool for monitoring late frost events on vineyards

Aim: Climate change is altering some aspects of winegrape production with an advancement of phenological stages which may endanger viticultural areas in the event of a late frost. This study aims to evaluate the potential of satellite-based remote sensing to assess the damage and the recovery time after late frost events.
