Identification of the agronomical and landscapes potentialities in “Côtes du Rhône” area (France)

Abstract

“Côtes du Rhône”, like many other controlled appellation wine, represents high stakes in the economical, social cultural and historical domains. The scenery formed by vineyards reveals these cultural values. It offers by a pleasant and appealing environment for the inhabitants and the tourists. It is also a powerful marketing tool for the winemakers. However, vineyards are attacked (urban pressure, infrastructures, expansion of enterprise zones) and it often affects the public image of the vineyards and the production potential. In order to protect the wine patrimony and to improve the communication between the concerned forces, it has started a study of the agronomic and landscape potentials of the vineyards. The aim is to map, for each village, the viticultural zones that should be protected in priority as they represent the highest stakes for the future of the “Côtes du Rhône” controlled appellation.

Metatranscriptomic analysis of “aszú” berries: the potential role of the most important species of the grape microbiota in the aroma of wines with noble rot

Botrytis cinerea has more than 1200 host plants and is one of the most important plant pathogens in viticulture. Under certain environmental conditions, it can lead to the development of a noble rot, which results in a specific metabolic profile, altering physical texture and chemical composition. The other microbes involved in this process and their functional genes are poorly characterised. We have generated metatranscriptomic [1,2] and DNA metabarcoding data from three months of the Furmint grape variety, representing the four phases of noble rot, from healthy berries to completely dried berries.

Characterization of vine performance using remote sensing tools

Today, a variety of remote sensing tools are used to characterise plant performance. However, the vine is rarely studied, as a major crop specificity is canopy discontinuity. Registered images of the vineyard are anisotropic, therefore difficult to analyse.
