Comportement hydrique des sols viticoles et leur influence sur le terroir

Abstract

L’étude des relations Terroir – Vigne – Raisin est complexe. La recherche et le développement des facteurs qualitatifs qui influencent le caractère des vins sont multiples. Divers travaux mettent en évidence la relation entre l’alimentation en eau de la plante, son développement végétatif et les caractéristiques de ses raisins. Après étude agropédologique préliminaire, nous avons implanté des tubes neutroniques dans les vignobles du Mandement (canton de Genève) et de Chamoson (canton du Valais), à des profondeurs se situant entre 4 et 9 mètres. Nous avions pour but de considérer le régime hydrique de quelques sols caractéristiques. En parallèle, nous avons enregistré les paramètres mésoclimatiques et microclimatiques des régions concernées, observé le développement du végétal et suivi l’évolution de la maturation des baies.
Dans ce contexte, nous nous sommes intéressés plus particulièrement à l’influence du régime hydrique, sans négliger la problématique de l’irrigation. L’on ne saurait aborder ce sujet sans tenir compte de l’enracinement de la vigne: les racines explorent non seulement les premiers décimètres du sol, mais également, lorsque les conditions les y obligent, le sous-sol, allant parfois même jusqu’à pénétrer la roche-mère. Ainsi assurent-elles l’alimentation en eau de la vigne.

Development of FTIR partial least squares models for polyphenol quantification in red wine during fermentation

Polyphenolic compounds are considered to have a major impact on the quality of red wines. Sensory impact, such as astringency and bitterness, stems directly from tannin composition. Thenceforth, quick analytical measurement of phenolic compounds appears to be a real challenge for winemaking monitoring and process control. Many methods were developed to analyzed polyphenols in wine, but they are time-consuming and require chemistry skills and equipment, not suitable for a rapid routine analysis. A reliable and rapid method to obtain this kind of measurement is Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.

Possible methods of adaptation to the effects of climate change in the Tokaj Wine Region 

Viticulture’s adaptation to the harmful effects of climate change is globally the biggest challenge of the near future. Short, extremely intensive rainfalls and longer periods of drought are getting more frequent in the Tokaj Wine Region, where the majority of the vineyards are cultivated on steep slopes. Hence, erosion has high risk, especially when combined with the loess-based soils on about ten percent of the region. The environmentally beneficial cover crop and mulch usage can effectively reduce the risk of erosion, according to research done by the Tokaj Wine Region Research Institute of Viticulture and Oenology.

Assyrtiko wines of Santorini produced by different autochthonous yeasts: Differences in aromatic and organoleptic profiles

Different yeasts were isolated from spontaneous fermentation of Assyrtiko grape must in Santorini Island, Greece. Molecular typing revealed the presence of three Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains (S9, S13, S24) and one strain of the yeast species Nakazawaea ishiwadae (N.i). The four isolated strains were further tested in laboratory scale fermentations of Assyrtiko must in pure inoculation cultures and in sequential inoculation (72 hours) of each S. cerevisiae strain with the strain of N. ishiwadae. All fermentation trials were realised in duplicate.
