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.

Identification of green, aggressive and hard character of wines by a chemo-sensory directed methodology

With climate change, it is progressively more often to obtain grapes with an acceptable content in sugars or acids but with immature tannins described as green, aggressive or hard (noted as GAH onwards). During winemaking, the oenologist has to make decisions related to the elaboration of such grapes based mainly on empirical experience, given the lack of objective criteria to this concern. An increase in the chemical and sensory knowledge of immature tannins would allow managing this GAH character of grapes with the maximum possible efficiency during winemaking processes. The present work aims at isolating and identifying the group of compounds responsible for the GAH character present in wines.

Application of the simplified quality bioclimatical index of Fregoni: suggestion of using its evolution curve

Les indices bioclimatiques constituent un bon outil pour piloter le développement vitivinicole dans une région précise

IMPACT OF FINING WITH K-CARRAGEENAN, BENTONITE, AND CHITOSAN ON PROTEIN STABILITY AND MACROMOLECULAR COMPOUNDS OF ALBARIÑO WHITE WINE PRODUCED WITH AND WITHOUT PRE-FERMENTATIVE SKIN MACERATION

Pre-fermentative skin maceration is a technique used in white wine production to enhance varietal aroma, but it can increase protein concentration, leading to protein instability and haze formation [1]. To prevent protein instability, wine producers typically use fining agents such as bentonite, before wine bottling, which can negatively impact sensory characteristics and produce waste [2,3]. The aim of this study was to understand the impact of alternative techniques such as the application of polysaccharides (k-carrageenan and chitosan) on protein stability and on the wine macromolecular composition.

Determination of titratable acidity, sugar and organic acid content in red and white wine grape cultivars during ripening by VIS–NIR hy¬perspectral imaging

Grape harvest time is one of the most fundamental aspects that affect grape quality and thus wine quality. Many factors influence the decision of harvest; among them technological and phenolic maturity of grape. Technological ripeness is mainly related to sugar concentration, titratable acidity and pH. Conventional methods for chemical analysis of grapes are normally sample-destructive, time-consuming, include laborious sample preparation steps, and generate chemical waste, thereby limiting their utility in online/in-line quality monitoring. Moreover, destructive analyses can be performed only on a limited number of fruit pieces and, thus, their statistical relevance could be limited. This study evaluated the ability of a lab-scale hyperspectral imaging (HYP-IM) technique to predict titratable acidity, organic acid and sugar content of grapes. Samples of Cabernet franc and Chenin blanc grapes were consecutively collected six times at weekly intervals after veraison. The images were recorded thanks to the hyperspectral imaging camera Pica L (Resonon) in a spectral range from 400 to 1000 nm. Statistics were performed using Microsoft Xlstat software. Successively, the berries were analyzed for their sugar (glucose and fructose) and organic acid (malic and tartaric acid) content and titratable acidity according to usual methods.

Using climate services to project grapevine varietal adequation under climate change – application to cv. Tempranillo in the Douro wine region

Vine growth circumstances are becoming warmer and drier because of climate change. Higher temperatures advance ripening to a point in the season less conducive to the production of fine wine, while drought reduces yields (Van Leeuwen et al., 2019). Several wine-producing regions around the world have already recognized threats to their viticultural viability (Santos et al., 2020). An economical and cost-effective strategy for adaptation is the employment of late-ripening, drought-resistant plant material (varieties, clones, and rootstocks).
