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.

DETERMINATION OF MINERAL COMPOSITION IN CV. TERAN (VITIS VINIFERA L.) RED WINE AFFECTED BY PRE-FERMENTATIVE MASH COOLING, HEATING, SAIGNÉE TECHNIQUE AND PROLONGED POST-FERMENTATIVE MACERATIONS

This study aimed to determine mineral composition in red wine obtained from cv. Teran (Vitis vinifera L.), autochtonous Croatian grape variety. Six different vinification treatments, including the control treatment (7-day standard maceration), were performed to study the effects of: 48-hour pre-fermentative mash cooling (8 °C) followed by prolonged post-fermentative maceration of 13 days (C15), 28 days (C30), and saignée technique (juice runoff) proceeded with prolonged post-fermentative maceration of 13 days (CS15); and effect of 48-hour heating (50 °C) followed by prolonged post-fermentative maceration of 13 days (H15) and 28 days (H30) on macro- and microelements in wine.

Application of a low-cost device VIS-NIRs-based for polyphenol monitoring during the vinification process

In red wine production, phenolic maturity is becoming increasingly important. Anthocyanins, flavonoids and total polyphenols content and availability significantly influence the harvest time of wine grapes while, during vinification process, their extraction strongly affects wine body, color and texture

Effects of post-veraison irrigation dose on Cabernet-Sauvignon vines in a dry and warm season in Valencia, Spain

In the old-world viticulture, there is a common but most often not scientifically proved consideration that supplemental irrigation should detrimentally affect berry and wine composition. In the semi-arid

Effect of concentration and competition between different fungicide residues on the adsorption efficiency of activated vegetal fibres for treatment of wine

Vineyards are strongly exposed to fungal diseases, attacks from insects and competition with weeds. Most treatments used on grape vines contain synthetic active substances, which may be transferred to the wine. Such pesticides have a negative image because many active substances are potential health hazards. A specific oenological treatment allowing the reduction of pesticide residues in wine based on activated vegetable fibres (AVF) is under examination by the International Organisation for Vine and Wine. This technique works efficiently and alters the wine only little (Lempereur et al. 2014).

Grape stems as preservative in Tempranillo wine

SO2 is the most widely used preservative in the wine industry. However, there are several drawbacks related with the use of SO2 in wine such as its toxicity and the unpleasant odor in case of excess.
