Un panorama de la presse quotidienne sur les actualités du monde viticole

Grape compounds such as pectin, hemicelluloses, celluloses and glucans can impact the winemaking process, cause product loss and increase costs and time.
Specific enzymes such as pectinases, hemicellulases, cellulases and β-glucanases can help overcome these problems resulting in a smoother and more efficient process.
Glycosidases are specific enzymes able to increase the primary aroma of wine. Typically, oenological enzyme preparations include a mix of several synergic activities in order t...

The wine world has changed vastly in the last six months due to COVID-19, and has affected all parts of the distribution network, from producer all the way to consumer, and everything in between.

Lallemand Oenology organized a webinar to try to understand from a market point of view how things are shaping up, how the wine market is affected and what is next. Four experts in the field participated to this exclusive event. Sam Harrop MW and consultant in Spain, Chile, Japan and New Zealand, Ja...

Dans le monde du vin, parler des vins naturels, c’est un peu comme lâcher un :

 « Et vous pour qui vous votez ? » dans un repas entre amis. 

À ce moment précis, il y a deux solutions : 

- Soit, tout le monde répond la même chose et mange son sanglier avec un air satisfait.

- Soit, le sanglier profite de la bagarre pour se faire la malle et chacun mange son dessert en faisant des petits ronds avec sa cuillère…

Pour éviter la deuxième hypothèse, mieux vaut respirer un grand coup et...

In a collaborative study conducted with the ICV Group, Montpellier Supagro and the INRA Montpellier (through a PhD focusing on the genetic basis of sulfur production by yeast to identify the molecular determinants involved in the yeast’s SO₂ metabolism, carried out in 2011 by Jessica Noble with Bruno Blondin, from the INRA Montpellier as PhD supervisor), Lallemand Oenology identified, through an innovative QTL approach, the molecular basis of SO₂ production in yeast to eventually be able to re...

In 2017, the organic vineyard areas had tripled in 10 years and approximately 5% of worldwide vineyards are now under organic certifications. The growth is also reflected in consumer consumption of organic wines, not only in Europe but all over the world where in Sweden for example, the growth is 51%, in France 36%, and in Australia, 120%.

Although non-Saccharomyces yeasts have long been considered harmful to alcoholic fermentation, nowadays research associates these strains with a real potential for differentiating wines. Progress in the field of molecular biology has led to the discovery of the roles played by various non-Saccharomyces yeasts. Their impact on the final composition of wine is very interesting, as they are able to enhance the complexity of the aroma profile of wines. Some can enrich the must in metabolites that ha...

Sauvignon blanc has been one of the largest wine success stories globally since the late 20th century. This French white grape variety has been cultivated in the Loire Valley and Bordeaux regions for centuries. Yet, it became very popular on an international level once New Zealand started to grow it and produce very fruity Sauvignon blanc wines in the 1980s. It has become New Zealand's most cultivated variety and holds its success mainly to the varietal aromas of thiol compounds.
