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.

A comprehensive study on the effect of foliar mineral treatments on grapevine microbiota, flavonoid gene expression, and berry composition

Recently, foliar treatments with mineral-based compounds have shown positive effects on grapevine production by protecting grape from thermal excesses and reducing the decoupling between technological and phenolic maturity caused by climate change. Unraveling the effect of mineral particle applications on grape-associated microbes is pivotal for successful wine processing, due to the influence of the microbiota on wine composition and stability. To our knowledge, this is the first work that comprehensively studied the effects of kaolin and chabasite-rich zeolitites treatments on grape-related microorganisms (by real-time PCR quantification of total fungi, Hanseniospora uvarum, Metschnikowia pulcherrima, plant-associated bacteria and lactic acid bacteria), the expression of genes related to the flavonoid biosynthesis (PAL1, CHS1, F3H2, DFR, LDOX, UFGT, MYBA1, GST4, FLS4 genes) and the berry composition (°Brix, pH, acidity and anthocyanin concentrations) in cv. Sangiovese during ripening in two growing seasons (2019 and 2020).

New disease-resistant grapevine varieties response to drought under a semi-arid climate

In many regions, climate change leads to an increase in air temperature combined with a reduction of rainfall, intensifying climatic demand and water deficits (WD) (Cardell et al. 2019), which in turn may negatively impact grapevine development, yield and grape composition (Santos et al. 2020). In addition, climate change may also increase disease pressure, leading to further yield and quality losses, besides increasing costs due to increased vineyard spraying (Santos et al. 2020) and reducing viticulture acceptability by consumers (Guichard et al. 2017). Adopting new resistant varieties appears as a promising long-term solution to better manage vine protection, but unfortunately little is known regarding their behavior in front of WD.

High-power ultrasound for improving chromatic characteristics in wines. Does a varietal effect exist?

The use of high-power ultrasound (US) during the winemaking process has been extensively studied at laboratory scale in order to demonstrate its possible use to improve the extraction of compounds of interest. However, studies on semi-industrial and industrial scale are needed to confirm this positive effect, since the International Organization of Vine and Wine approved its industrial use in 2019 [1].

Physiological behavior of the Chasselas grape variety under water deficit: 30 years of experiments in Switzerland

In the context of increasingly hot and dry summers, the adoption of innovative irrigation technologies has become essential for maintaining grape production while minimizing water use.

Antioxidant activity of yeast peptides released during fermentation and autolysis in model conditions

Aging wine on lees benefits different wine sensory and technological properties including an enhanced resistance to oxidation. Several molecules released by yeast, such as membrane sterols and glutathione, have been previously proposed as key factors for this activity [1].
