Considerations about the concept of “terroir”: definition and research direction

Abstract

On exposera la distinction et la relation entre: “Etude des milieux”, “Zonage Petit ou Zonage Technique ou Sub Zonage”, “Grand Zonage”, “Délimitation des zones productives” ex. vitivinicoles, entre “Terroir”, “Territoire”, “Terra – Nature”, “Univers” d’après la “Grande Filiera” (“Grande Filière”), entre “Qualité organoleptique classique” (technique), “Qualité perçue par le Consommateur ou Préférence” et les autres “qualités” (environ 90) , entre “Pyramides de la Qualité classique”, “Pyramide du Consommateur”, Pyramide de la “Quantité – Préférence”, etc. 
Il est mis en évidence que les “zonages” (“Grands Zonages” selon le “Grande Filiera”) doivent descendre et s’harmoniser avec les objectifs (“Grands Objectifs”selon la “Grande Filiere”) de l’activité [maximum (meilleur) profit économique socio environnemental existentiel éthique meta éthique selon la “Grande Filiere”] et non pas avec les moyens utilisés pour atteindre ces objectifs (ex. “terroir”, “qualité organoleptique classique”, “paysage”, “tourisme”, les techniques de culture, etc., etc.). On souligne par ailleurs l’importance fondamentale qu’assume de plus en plus la “Qualité Economique”, la “Qualité Socio-Environnementale”, la “Qualité Existentielle”, la “Qualité Ethique” selon le “Grande Filiera”, l’ approfondissement de façon adéquate et la définition de manière universelle de la terminologie et, à la fin, le lien de la technique, de la recherche aux objectifs et non pas aux moyens.

Towards faultless Grenache wines: impact of climate and maturity

Climate change is affecting wine production and inducing significant variability in wine composition between vintages.

Impact of dosage sugar-type and ageing on finished sparkling wine composition and development of Maillard reaction-associated compounds

The Maillard reaction (MR) is a non-enzymatic reaction between reducing sugars and amino acids, resulting in the production of volatile and flavour-active compounds.

Influence of short-time skin maceration combined with enzyme treatment on the volatile composition of musts from fresh and withered fiano winegrapes

AIM: The increasing market competitiveness is promoting the production of special dry wines with distinctive characteristics, obtained either from minor winegrape varieties and/or the inclusion of partially dehydrated grapes.

Understanding wine as a sensory, emotional, and cognitive experience to promote and communicate conscious consumption

In the complex scenario that the wine industry and its promotion are currently facing, this research proposes a theoretical expansion of the traditional model used to understand the wine experience, namely the classic sensory, emotional and cognitive triad, moving toward a multidimensional approach that also incorporates cultural, symbolic and contextual dimensions in order to comprehend the conscious experience.

IMPACT OF METSCHNIKOWIA PULCHERRIMA DURING FERMENTATION ON AROMATIC PROFILE OF VIDAL BLANC ICEWINE

Non-Saccharomyces yeasts not only increase microbial diversity during wine fermentation, but also have a positive effect on improving wine aroma. Among these non-Saccharomyces yeast species, Metschnikowia pulcherrima is often studied and used in winemaking in recent years, but its application in icewine has been rarely reported. In this study, indigenous M. pulcherrima strains and Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains (commercial and indigenous strains) were sequentially inoculated for icewine fermentations; meanwhile, pure S. cerevisiae fermentations were used as the control; indigenous strains used above were screened from spontaneous fermentations of Vidal blanc icewine.
