Influence de la nutrition potassique sur le manque d’acidité des vins issus du cépage Negrette

Abstract

Une baisse préoccupante de l’acidité des vins est observée dans beaucoup de régions viticoles, comme le Bordelais (Merlot), la Bourgogne (Pinot Noir), les Côtes-du-Rhône (Grenache) ou la Rioja (Tempranillo). Ce manque d’acidité est particulièrement marqué dans le vignoble Midi-Pyrénéen des Côtes du Frontonnais (Tournier, 1993). Or, l’acidité d’un vin est un des principaux facteurs de sa qualité, en effet, une faible acidité combinée à une structure tannique insuffisante entraîne une oxydation rapide des vins et les fait vieillir prématurément. De multiples travaux font état de la liaison étroite entre la faible acidité d’un moût ou d’un vin grande richesse en potassium (Boulton, 1980 ; Delas et al., 1989 ; Falcetti et al., 1993 ; Champagnol, 1988; Soyer et Molot, 1993).

D’autre part, la teneur en potassium des moûts est corrélée à celle des feuilles (Mattick, 1972 ; Champagnol, 1990) et une corrélation a été mise en évidence entre cette dernière et la fertilisation potassique (Morris et al., 1983 ; Champagnol, 1988, 1990 ; Soyer et Molot, 1993 ; Jourdan, 1993). Cependant, ces liaisons sont discutées par d’autres auteurs comme Dundon et al. (1984), Conradie et Saayman (1989) ou Matthews et al. (1993).
Pour contribuer à résoudre ce problème, nous avons choisi comme matériel d’étude la Négrette, cépage principal des Côtes du Frontonnais et cépage donnant des vins particulièrement peu acides.

Une double expérimentation a été mise en place. La première a été effectuée en culture hors-sol, sous serre. Elle a pour but de déterminer, grâce à l’application de solutions nutritives ayant des équilibres potassium-calcium différents, les relations existant entre les teneurs en potassium du milieu nutritif et celles des feuilles et des moûts, ainsi que leurs répercussions sur l’acidité des vins. La seconde est une expérimentation en champ qui a pour objectif d’étudier les interactions précédentes in situ. Le suivi de l’état nutritionnel de la vigne a été réalisé selon un protocole mis au point par Garcia et al. (1984) et Doux et al. (1985). La sélection des parcelles a été effectuée en s’inspirant de la méthode mise au point par Morlat et Asselin (1992).

Barrels ad-hoc: Spanish oak wood classification by NIRs 

The wooden barrel is a key factor in enology, since wine chemical composition and sensory properties changes significantly in contact with the barrel[1]. Today’s highly competitive market constantly demands new differentiated products and wineries search innovations continuously.
Wood selection is crucial: barrels stability to keep constant their contribution and the result on products, and additional and differentiated wood contributions to impact their new products. Oak wood selection has traditionally been carried out using parameters such as specie, location and grain, however, it goes one step further nowadays. Large cooperage work with non-destructive techniques that allow classifying oak wood quickly and easily according to their organoleptic contribution[2].

Evaluation of spraying effects of plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle on two different training systems of vine in Northeast China

In recent years, the application of plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in agricultural pest control has become more and more popular. However, there are few reports about the application of plant protection UAV for wine grapes, and there are no studies comparing the spraying effect of plant protection UAV with that of manual operation in vineyards. In this context, the objective of this study was to explore the feasibility of using plant protection UAV in vineyards instead of manual operations by evaluating the effectiveness of UAV spray in two common grape training systems in Northeast China.

Vitiforestry as innovative heritage. Adaptive conservation of historical wine-growing landscapes as response to XXI century’s challenges.

Traditional agricultural and agro-pastoral systems (prior to industrial revolution) often have the characteristic of being multiple systems, in which multiple crops are hosted simultaneously on the same plot. currently research suggests to study more in depth the potential of multiple agricultural systems in order to detect those characteristics of multiple agrarian systems that could allow modern viticulture to adapt to the challenges posed by climate change: rising temperatures with impacts on the phenological cycle of the vine, resurgence of plant deseases, extreme soil washout phenomena and hail storms, among others.

Influence of wood chips addition during alcoholic fermentation on wine phenolic composition

This study investigates the effect of wood chips addition during the alcoholic fermentation on the phenolic
composition of the produced wines. A series of wood chips, originating from American, French, Slavonia
oak and Acacia were added at the beginning of wine alcoholic fermentation. Besides, a mixture consisting
of 50% French and 50% Americal oak chips were added during the experimentation. The wine samples
were analyzed one month after the end of malolactic fermentation, examining various chemical
parameters such as total anthocyanins, total phenolic content, tannins combined with protein (BSA) and
ellagitannin content.

The study of cultural practices to delay ripening and the characterization of their effect on wine composition is important in the mitigation of accelerated ripening caused by higher temperatures
