La viticulture durable: concept et application aux terroirs viticoles

Abstract

Evoquer la notion de durabilité pour la vigne, plante multimillénaire, et le vin, tous deux intimement liés aux origines de notre civilisation, peut paraître un non-sens. Le vin revêt en effet une dimension culturelle, voire cultuelle intemporelle, qui recouvre tout à la fois les sciences, les savoir-faire ancestraux, la sociologie, les religions. Notre filière a en effet imprimé une marque indélébile, une symbolique immortelle, dans l’évolution du monde.
Le développement durable traduit fidèlement l’esprit d’un type de développement, formalisé par le rapport Brundtland, à l’origine du concept :

un développement qui répond aux besoins du présent, sans compromettre la capacité des générations futures de répondre aux leurs.
La préservation de l’environnement et plus globalement la Viticulture Durable, s’intègrent progressivement dans la plupart des itinéraires techniques viticoles et oenologiques. A partir des années 90, une vision durable associant notamment les impacts locaux et planétaires ont été développés au sein de l’Organisation Internationale de la Vigne et du Vin, (Résolution OIV CST 1/2004 www.oiv.int) :
« Approche globale à l’échelle des systèmes de production et de transformation des raisins, associant à la fois la pérennité économique des structures et des territoires, l’obtention de produits de qualité, la prise en compte des exigences d’une viticulture de précision, des risques liés à l’environnement, à la sécurité des produits et la santé des consommateurs et la valorisation des aspects patrimoniaux, historiques, culturels, écologiques et paysagers ».

NEW TREATMENTS FOR TEMPRANILLO WINES BY USING CABERNET SAUVIGNON VINE-SHOOTS AND MICRO-OXYGENATION

Toasted vine-shoots as enological additive represents a promising topic due to their significant effect on wine profile. However, the use of this new enological tool with SEGs varieties different than wine and combined with others winemaking technologies, such as micro-oxygenation (MOX), has not been studied so far, despite this combination could result in wine with high chemical and organoleptic quality.

OPTIMIZATION, VALIDATION AND APPLICATION OF THE EPR SPIN-TRAPPING TECHNIQUE TO THE DETECTION OF FREE RADICALS IN CHARDONNAY WINES

The aging potential of Burgundy chardonnay wines is considered as quality indicator. However, some of them exhibit higher oxidative sensitivity and premature oxidative aging symptoms, which are potentially induced by no-enzymatic oxidation such as Fenton-type reaction (Danilewicz, 2003). This chemical mechanism involves the action of transition metal, native phenolic compounds and oxygen which promote the generation of highly reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydroxyl radicals (OH) or 1-hydroxyethyl radicals (1-HER) from oxidation of ethanol. Such mechanism is involved in the radical oxidation occurring during bottle aging. According to Elias et al.,(2009a), the 1-HER is the most abundant radical in forced oxidation treated wines. Consequently, understanding its evolution kinetic in dry white wines is of great importance.

DEVELOPMENT OF BIOPROSPECTING TOOLS FOR OENOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS

Wine production is a complex biochemical process that involves a heterogeneous microbiota consisting of different microorganisms such as yeasts, bacteria, and filamentous fungi. Among these microorganisms, yeasts play a predominant role in the chemistry of wine, as they actively participate in alcoholic fermentation, a biochemical process that transforms the sugars in grapes into ethanol and carbon dioxide while producing additional by-products. The quality of the final product is greatly influenced by the microbiota present in the grape berry, and the demand for indigenous yeast starters adapted to specific grape must and reflecting the biodiversity of a particular region is increasing. This supports the concept that indigenous yeast strains can be associated with a “terroir”.

Growth in global table grape production and consumption is fueled by the introduction of new seedless varieties

Table grape consumption worldwide has experienced a remarkable growth in the first two decades of the 21st century, becoming the third most consumed fresh fruit in some countries, after bananas and apples. This increase has been attributed to several reasons, including the availability of seedless grapes, which has been a key factor in the increase in consumption.
