Viticultural characterisation of soils from triassic period at Beaumes-de-Venise (Côtes du Rhône, France)

Climate change establishes challenges, as well as opportunities for many sectors, and markedly the wine sector.

This study explored the responses of Chardonnay and Sauvignon blanc grapevine cultivars to water deficit across four years, uncovering their shared patterns and distinctive coping mechanisms. The research was conducted in a commercial vineyard located in Isla de Maipo, Chile. Various characterization approaches were employed including plant water potentials (), gas exchange measurements, shoot vulnerability curves, productivity assessments, and leaf cell water relations. Linear mixed models and sensitivity analyses were performed using various statistical methods to evaluate cultivar responses to water deficit. As the water deficit progressed, both cultivars displayed a parallel reduction in stomatal conductance, leaf turgor, and increased shoot embolism.

The objective of the present work is to evaluate the impact of three S. cerevisiae strains on the comprehensive aroma profile of Albariño wine along its shelf life.

Vines are one of the most pesticide-intensive crops in France, and reducing their use is a major challenge for both the environment and human health.

The wine industry currently relies on a limited number of grapevine cultivars, comprised of numerous clones with slight differences in their viticultural, oenological, or stress-tolerance traits.
