Zoning of potential landscape and environment potential of the «Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée Costières de Nîmes»

Abstract

The Union defence of the “appellation Costières de Nîmes” hired a reflection on the future of its territory production in the interests of preservation and enhancement. It has launched a study in partnership with the Urban Community Nîmes Métropole and DIREN Languedoc-Roussillon on the cultural and economic values that form the landscape and the environment. The work done in consultation with the players in the area led to the signing of a charter and environmental landscape. The map areas of potential landscape and environment of the “A.O.C. Costières de Nîmes” was one of the first objectives of the charter. This map identifies on the basis of a typology: 
– land of excellence; 
– land under urban influence; 
– land who have lost their agricultural or urban lands. 
This card is an information paper to the actors and agencies territory “Costières” (elected… communities). It aims to take better account of the added production that make up the landscape and the environment. For each type identified, management guidance and support are available to maintain, preserve and enhance the attractiveness of the quality of life, economic strength and promotional landscape and the environment (viewpoints, axes discovery … viticultural landscape). These proposals are intended to ensure a balanced economic development of the territory of appellation. They come in 34 actions included in the charter and environmental landscape of the “appellation Costières de Nîmes”.

Application of nitrogen forms such as nitrate, urea, and amino acids effects on leaf and berry physiology and wine quality

Nitrogen (N) uptake by grapevine roots in forms like nitrate, ammonium, urea, or amino acids influences vegetative and generative growth, impacting grape quality and wine sensory profile. The study examined nitrogen’s influence on phenolic compounds in leaves, berries, and wine across different scales — hydroponics, soil culture, and vineyard trials. Nitrogen forms altered metabolite patterns in leaves and wine significantly, affecting aroma and flavor. Key nitrogen assimilation enzymes (NR, NiR, GS) in grapevine rootstocks responded to nitrogen forms and timing. Hydroponically grown rootstocks fertilized with various forms showed differences in enzyme expression and activity, suggesting rootstocks can assimilate amino acid glutamine (Gln).

Addition of glutathione-rich inactivated yeasts to white musts: effects on wine composition and sensory quality

Glutathione plays a key role in preventing some oxidative processes during winemaking. This molecule limits the must enzymatic oxidation, reacts with caffeic acid and generates a colourless compound that prevents subsequent browning. It also has a protective effect on wine aroma, preventing the oxidation of the volatile compounds with a high sensory impact.

Trans-resveratrol concentrations in wines Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile

This study evaluated the levels of trans-resveratrol in commercial wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from different valleys of Chile stilbenes. The Cabernet Sauvignon is the most planted variety in Chile, being 38% of the total vineyard country. Chile is the fourth largest wine exporter in the world, so it is important to evaluate the Cabernet-Sauvignon wines in their concentration levels of trans-resveratrol and its relation to the benefits provided to human health in moderate consumption. Evaluation comprises commercial wines from different valleys of Chile and its relationship with climatic characteristics, soil and vineyard handling.
