Publications
Vivelys takes part in a wide range of conferences and regularly publishes content on viticulture, oenology, microbiology, production strategy and markets.
These publications are based on the research programmes conducted each year since Vivelys was founded.

The 2016 vintage reflects the extent to which climatic variability can affect wine production and requires oenologists to be ever more precise in controlling the impact of vintage conditions on ripening. The combination of new scientific knowledge with data directly from the vineyard offers new perspectives. It is now possible to better reveal the nature of the links between the plant and the composition of the fruit according to the environment.
For its 6th edition, the Conférence du Millési+F6:G6me, organized by Fruition Sciences, will be held at the Cité du Vin in Bordeaux for the first time. The 2016 vintage is characterized by a cool and very wet early season, followed by a hot, dry late summer; these conditions have raised many questions within the profession. Work upstream of the vineyard, the technological and phenolic qualities of berries, and harvest dates are all issues that will be covered during the conference.
This study describes the sugar loading dynamics of Merlot measured in a Bordeaux vineyard in the last 10 years (more than 2,000 plots analyzed every year), and correlates the results with climate conditions, water conditions, yield levels, and the quality of the wines. The work is completed with an approach based on identifying the volatile compounds that are markers for the "cooked fruit" notes found in both the grapes harvested late and the wines obtained from their vinification.
Numerous studies spanning a period of over 30 years have highlighted the central role of water in viticulture. Specifically, the impact of the vine’s hydric regime on the development of the plant and its effects on yield, grape ripeness and wine quality have now been identified and understood. As such, after temperature, water is considered to be the most important aspect of terroir.
Conference combined with the seventh Entretiens Vigne Vin LR (Languedoc-Roussillon vine and wine discussions)
This event offers an opportunity to benefit from the latest academic insight and feedback from companies on the tools they use to understand the quality potential of grapes with a view to reliably selecting the best vinification processes.
