Abstract

Le vin de Champagne s'impose comme l'un des produits phares de la planète vitivinicole. Symbole de la fête et du luxe international, détenteur d'une forte identité qui fait de lui un objet commercia de tout premier ordre, il cache pourtant de nombreux secrets qui ne touchent pas seulement à sa fabrication mais aussi à son histoire. Regroupant les contributions de nombreux spécialistes, cet ouvrage retrace deux siècles de cette épopée du vin de Champagne et de la Champagne. Il évoque ainsi la construction des territoires du Champagne au prisme de ses mutations techniques, économiques, collectives mais aussi politiques et juridiques. Ce recueil explore, enfin, l'histoire "moins visible" des savoir-faire, des conflits, des représentations, des discours qui rendent ce vin si spécifique aux yeux des consommateurs.

Abstract

Les grands vins puisent leurs arômes dans le sol des vignobles. Le chablis sent l'iode de ses huîtres fossiles, le sancerre la pierre à fusil, le savennières le schiste chaud. C'est toute la terre de France que l'on goûte en buvant ! Au gré d'une bouteille que l'on débouche ou d'une trentaine de vignobles visités, on découvrira, avec l'histoire géologique du site, le terroir et les particularités d'un cru, ce qu'en disent les oenologues et quels plats proposent les chefs pour les accompagner. Cartes et itinéraires, renseignements utiles et bonnes adresses font de ce livre un parfait compagnon de voyage.

Abstract

The history of civilization is, in many ways, the history of wine. This book is the first comprehensive and up-to-date account of the earliest stages of vinicultural history and prehistory, which extends back into the Neolithic period and beyond. Elegantly written and richly illustrated, Ancient Wine opens up whole new chapters in the fascinating story of wine and the vine by drawing upon recent archaeological discoveries, molecular and DNA sleuthing, and the texts and art of long-forgotten peoples. Patrick McGovern takes us on a personal odyssey back to the beginnings of this consequential beverage when early hominids probably enjoyed a wild grape wine. We follow the course of human ingenuity in domesticating the Eurasian vine and learning how to make and preserve wine some 7,000 years ago. Early winemakers must have marveled at the seemingly miraculous process of fermentation. From success to success, viniculture stretched out its tentacles and entwined itself with one culture after another (whether Egyptian, Iranian, Israelite, or Greek) and laid the foundation for civilization itself. As medicine, social lubricant, mind-altering substance, and highly valued commodity, wine became the focus of religious cults, pharmacopoeias, cuisines, economies, and society. As an evocative symbol of blood, it was used in temple ceremonies and occupies the heart of the Eucharist. Kings celebrated their victories with wine and made certain that they had plenty for the afterlife. (Among the colorful examples in the book is McGovern's famous chemical reconstruction of the funerary feast--and mixed beverage--of "King Midas.") Some peoples truly became "wine cultures.? When we sip a glass of wine today, we recapitulate this dynamic history in which a single grape species was harnessed to yield an almost infinite range of tastes and bouquets. Ancient Wine is a book that wine lovers and archaeological sleuths alike will raise their glasses to.

Abstract

This new database charts exactly what varieties are grown in which regions around the world. Since the data sets are based on two broad census periods, in 2000 and 2010, readers can also follow major planting trends around the world during the first decade of this new century. This colossal trawl makes it the perfect complement to last year's publication of Wine Grapes by the doughty Robinson, Harding and Vouillamoz.

Abstract

This book draws on an eight-year study carried out in the DOCG Prosecco area of Italy, a wine region known worldwide. It is unique in the sense that it is based on one of the most comprehensive investigations into terroir zoning ever performed in Italy. By drawing attention to the complex interrelations between environmental and human factors that influence the growth and production of the Glera grape, the study illustrates the distinct correlation between a wine and its ‘terroir’. It shows that the morphology of the sites, the meso and microclimate, the soil, the grapevine planting density, the trellising system, the yield of the vineyard, and the vine water status in the summer lead to unique combinations of grape maturity, acidity, and aroma that ultimately influence the sensory properties of the wines produced. Furthermore, the book details numerous technical and agronomic considerations, specific to the “Glera” grape variety, for different production strategies, including a section on the impact of climate change on cv “Glera” phenology. “The Power of the Terroir: the Case Study of Prosecco Wine” represents a valuable resource for anyone involved in studies or research activities in the fields of viticulture, climatology, agronomic sciences or soil sciences, but is also of interest to vine growers, professionals in the wine industry, and wine enthusiasts in general.

Abstract

Sought after by European aristocrats and a favorite of Napoleon Bonaparte, the sweet wines of Constantia in the Cape Colony were considered to be among the world's best during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. During the first democratic elections in 1994, South Africa began to re-emerge onto the international wine scene. Tim James, an expert on South African wines, takes the reader on an information-packed tour of the region, showing us how and why the unique combination of terroir and climate, together with dramatic improvements in winemaking techniques, result in wines that are once again winning accolades. James describes important grape varieties and wine styles-from delicate sparkling, to rich fortified, and everything in between-including the varietal blends that produce some of the finest Cape wines. Anchoring his narrative in a rich historical context, James discusses all the major wine regions, from Cederberg to Walker Bay, complete with profiles of more than 150 of the country's finest producers.
