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.

Influence of pedoclimatic factors during berry ripening in Burgundy

Berry composition at ripeness can be explained by many factors. This study was carried out from 2004 through 2011 in a 60 block network in the Yonne region, Burgundy.

Proposta per un parco produttivo agrovitivinicolo dei “colli piacentini”

Le Dipartimento di Progettazione dell ‘Architettura del Politecnico di Milano et l’Istituto di Viticoltura della Facoltà d’Agraria di Piacenza dell’Università Cattolica del Sacra Cuore, ont elaboré une proposition pour réaliser, dans l’aire de colline de la province de Piacenza, un Parco Produttivo Agrovitivinicolo.

The impacts of frozen material-other-than-grapes (MOG) on aroma compounds of red wine varieties

An undesirable note called “floral taint” has been observed in red wines by winemakers in the Niagara region caused by large volumes of frozen leaves and petioles [materials-other-than-grapes (MOG)] introduced during mechanical harvest and subsequent winemaking late in the season. The volatiles, which we hypothesized are responsible, are primarily terpenes, norisoprenoids, and specific esters in frozen leaves and petioles. The purpose of this study was to investigate the volatile compounds which may cause the floral taint problem and explore how much of them (thresholds) may lead to the problem. Also, the glycosidic precursors of some of these compounds were analyzed to see the changes happening during frost events.

Relationship between terroir and vegetative potential, productivity, yield and must composition of Vitis Vinífera L. Cvs. Cabernet Sauvignon under warm climate conditions

One cultivar could produce distinct wines with typical properties and qualities different depending on its cultivated and its mesoclimatic conditions.

Exploring high throughput secondary trait phenomics to improve grapevine breeding

Modern grapevine breeding programs have overcome many challenges using genomic selection, which has allowed breeders to make targeted selections at earlier stages in the breeding process. However, the cost of genetic testing may present a burden for some programs, and markers often struggle to accurately predict quantitative traits. Recent advances in high throughput, high-dimensional data have provoked investigation into the use of high-dimensional phenomics as a low-cost addition to the grape breeder’s toolkit that may offer advantages in predicting quantitative traits. High-dimensional secondary trait (HDST) data has been employed in annual crops for prediction of agriculturally important traits such as yield.
