Exploring minerality of Burgundy Chardonnay wines: a sensory approach with wine experts and trained panellists

The sensory meaning of minerality, however, is not yet clearly understood. The present study was designed to understand how wine experts conceptualise minerality and to explore whether they can judge wine minerality in a consensual way.

Afterwards, they rated their mineral character according to two conditions: orthonasally and on the palate while wearing a nose-clip. The experts also answered a questionnaire in wh…

IDOSUSCON: IDentifying and understanding Obstacles to SUStainable food CONsumption with meat substitutes as a case study
