Landscape qualities and keys for action

Abstract

Parallèlement à la connaissance des aptitudes viticoles, le terroir témoigne d’une identité locale, d’une spécificité des conditions de productions et d’une originalité des lieux. Le paysage, support sensible des choix d’aménagements locaux, constitue une entrée pertinente pour une réflexion durable, car il permet d’identifier et de conforter les supports identitaires, de redonner une vision spatiale à un projet technique viticole et de l’intégrer dans les échelles multiples d’un territoire. Une démarche de paysage s’appuie sur un besoin local, exprimé par une collectivité ou des viticulteurs. Elle se décompose en une première étape de lecture et de diagnostic de paysage permettant de se questionner sur la place, le rôle et l’image du viticulteur dans le territoire. Cette première étape révèle la qualité des projets viticoles et recherche la cohérence entre les différents gestionnaires du territoire. Mais les observations et interrogations formulées ne restent qu’une entrée, à compléter par l’expertise de personnes ressources locales ou par des enquêtes auprès des différents acteurs territoriaux. Ensuite intervient l’élaboration du projet, associé à un plan de gestion, qui répond à un dysfonctionnement ou besoin viticole local, tels les aménagements des abords de cave, des sentiers pédagogiques et la réimplantation de haies. Les viticulteurs, principaux gestionnaires d’un terroir viticole, doivent être au cœur des discussions et force de proposition quant à l’avenir de leur territoire et aux priorités du projet. La pré-existance d’un mouvement collectif et d’une conscience environnementale au sein des viticulteurs et des acteurs locaux est un atout non négligeable pour favoriser les dialogues et les dynamiques d’un projet. Par ces démarches, le paysage devient l’expression d’un projet viticole, concerté, voulu, approprié et non subi ; c’est-à-dire une clé d’action pour la viticulture durable.

Impact of SO2 addition before alcoholic fermentation on the oxidative stability of Chardonnay white wines

Sulfites (SO2) addition during winemaking is a widespread practice worldwide. This addition is realized at different steps of the winemaking due to the antimicrobial and antioxidant capacity of SO2. In a context of understanding white wines oxidative stability, knowledge about the impact of SO2 on the wine molecular diversity, especially compounds involved in the antioxidant capacity of wine, appears to be very important. In recent years, some studies have shown that SO2 can react with a large number of wine compounds resulting in the formation of numerous adducts. The diversity of compounds involved is important including in particular pyruvic acid, 2-keto-glutaric acid, glyceraldehyde, sugar, phenolics compounds but also amino acids or peptides. Moreover Roullier-Gall et al. have shown using FT-ICR-MS analysis that the molecular composition of wines remains impacted by addition of SO2 to the must (0, 4 and 8 g/hL SO2), several years after winemaking. Indeed, wines made from protected must (8g/hL SO2) contain a larger diversity of CHOS and CHONS compounds than wines made from unprotected must (0 g/hL SO2). The study of the impact of glutathione addition on the sensory oxidative stability has further shown that CHOS and CHONS compounds (amino acids, aromatic compounds and peptides) are markers of the antioxidant metabolome of white wines. This suggests that CHOS and CHONS compounds arise from SO2 adducts formation but also from a protecting effect of SO2 on the antioxidant metabolome of white wines.

Genetic traceability of the varietal origin of wines: a robust application for must and wines during alcoholic fermentation

Industry and regulatory agencies have developed regulations to ensure authenticity and compliance with wine composition limits. However, this can be truncated by the absence of simple and robust analytical methodologies, uninfluenced by the environment, different oenological techniques and cultural practices. Genetic fingerprinting is the most powerful tool for unequivocal varietal identification; it is not affected by the environment or agronomic practices; however, its usefulness in musts and wines has been controversial and there is currently no routine certification of varietal origin based on DNA analysis.

Geochemistry of Vrbničko Polje (Croatia) winegrowing site

A multi-element pedo-geochemical survey was carried out in Vrbničko polje vineyards on the Krk Island, Croatia. This Mediterranean winegrowing site is famous by Žlahtina wine production.

Function, barriers, and the environmental benefits of reuse bottle system for wine

With 0.3 to 0.7 kg CO2eq per 0.75 L wine, the glass bottle is the main contributor to the carbon footprint of a bottle of wine.

Study of the content of amino acids and biogenic amines in sparkling red wines

The production of red sparkling wines is lower in Spain in comparison with the winemaking of white or rosé sparkling wines. In red sparkling wine processing it is essential to obtain suitable base wines that should have moderate alcohol content, high acidity, good color values, an adequate mouth-feel and a sweet tannin. Grapes for sparkling wine production have to be harvested at low maturity stages, with lower alcohol contents and higher acidities, which will that the phenolic maturity of the grapes is also low, showing green tannins. This paper analyses different treatments in order to minimize these inconveniences: cold maceration-prefermentation and delestage to elaborate the grapes with lower maturity, must nanofiltration, and the partial osmosis of the wines made from grapes with an adequate maturity degree.
