«Observatoire Mourvèdre»: statistical modelling of quality for Cv. Mourvèdre

Abstract

Vine cultivar Mourvèdre is present all around the Mediterranean area and is interesting for its tannins and the specificity of its aromas. It is though difficult to manage. A wide project started in 1999 in order to determine what conditions are mostly important on the quality of the grapes and wines of Mourvèdre. During 5 years and on 32 different plots from Roussillon region up north towards Ardèche and east towards Var vineyards, a large amount of climatic, phenological, water stress, plant and grape data has been collected. Data mining PLS Spline method was used to model different variables of quality like sugar content in musts. The model obtained, that is able to predict the potential of a parcel, pointed out the major importance of the climate, as long as the yield and the leaf canopy management. It has then been validated on 4 different zones for the year 2005.

Techniques to study graft union formation in grapevine

Grapevines are grown grafted in most viticultural regions. Grapevine rootstocks are either hybrids or pure species of different American Vitis spp. (particularly V. berlandieri, V. rupestris and V. riparia), which were primarily used to provide root resistance to the insect pest Phylloxera. In addition to Phylloxera resistance, grapevine rootstocks were also selected in relation their resistance to various abiotic stress conditions. Future rootstocks should have the potential to adapt viticulture to climate change without changing the characteristics of the harvested product. However, high grafting success rates are an essential prerequisite to be able to use them with all the varieties. The objective of this work is to develop quantitative techniques to characterize graft union formation in grapevine.

The use of zirconia dioxide enclosed in a metallic cage for the stabilisation of Chardonnay white wine

White wines are commonly stabilised by removing the heat unstable proteins through adsorption by bentonite, an effective but inefficient wine processing step. Alternative absorbents are thus sought and zirconium dioxide (zirconia) is recognised as a promising candidate.

Aroma diversity of Amarone commercial wines

Amarone is an Italian red wine produced in the Valpolicella area, in north-eastern Italy. Due to its elaboration with withered grapes, Amarone is a rather unique example of dry red wine. However, there is very limited data so far concerning the volatile composition of commercial Amarone wines, which also undergo a cask aging of 2-4 years before release.
