Variabilité climatique et profils organoleptiques du Pinot noir dans le monde

Wine typicity is revealed at various spatial scales, according to the variability of terroir components, which individual contribution change depending on the site. In this study, the impact of climate at global scale on the sensory profile of wine is examined.Thirty one Pinot noir wines produced in 16 winegrowing regions in Europe (Germany, France and Switzerland), North America (USA), South America (Chile) and Oceania (Australia and New Zealand) were selected. A blind testing was performed on the wines by 14 judges; among which 9 were considered sufficiently repeatable (criteria evaluated from the sensory analysis results of two identical wines). Wines were described by 26 visual, olfacto…
