Oxygen: wine's friend or foe?

The relationship between wine and oxygen has always been a key aspect for enologists. This relationship is complex, essential and continuous, from reception of the harvest to the aging of the wine in bottles. What are the advantages, benefits and risks? Four specialists bring new elements of response, for ever-more in-depth mastery of the question.

Determining harvest quality: a comparative approach between the dynamics of sugar loading in berries and analysis of new markers for the aromatic ripeness of grapes.

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.

Hydric regime and irrigation management in the vineyard

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.
