Les expertises dans le domaine du vin : cas du concept de vin de garde
2010
Wine expertise : the case of "vin de garde" concept. This work aimed to investigate different types of knowledge and skills involved in wine expertise. This work is based on the “vin de garde” concept, we first broadened the study of this concept, and we identified gustatory (astringency and acidity) and olfactory (woody, burnt, vanilla and prune notes) clues used by wine professionals from Bourgogne to judge the aging potential of red wines from Bourgogne. The expertise is investigated through two studies. In the first study, we examined if the environment in which professionals practise leads to specific perceptive skills and conceptual knowledge regarding wines with an aging potential. W…
Combining Olfactory and Gustatory Clues in the Judgment of Aging Potential of Red Wine by Wine Professionals
2010
International audience; The study was aimed at determining the relative importance of olfactory and gustatory information for the vin de garde concept, which refers to wine that is intended for aging. First, the study investigated how olfactory information contributed to the assessment of the aging potential of young wine. Burgundy wine professionals categorized 26 red wines (vintage 2005) according to their aging potential in two experimental conditions: orthonasal evaluation and overall evaluation. Second, the aromatic notes associated with wines perceived with an aging potential were examined. A trained descriptive panel described the odor of the 26 red wines to determine whether the win…
Measurement of white wines resistance against oxidation by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance spectroscopy
2018
International audience; Free radical theory of aging hypothesizes that oxygen-derived radicals are responsible for the storage-related flavor instability in wine. In an optimal situation, a balanced-distribution exists between oxidants and antioxidants among wines intrinsic/extrinsic metabolites. Based on the kinetic study of POBN-1-hydroxyethyl spin adduct (POBN-1-HER) formation in wines initiated via the Fenton reaction, a novel tool based on EPR spin trapping methodology was developed to quantify wines resistance against oxidation. Antioxidant capacities of wines were evaluated according to POBN-1-HER maximum signal intensity (Imax POBN-1-HER) and rate formation (r(POBN-1-HER)) kinetic p…
