Q

remedies for spring frost in chablis

A
  1. smudge pots (smoky, causes air pollution, requires staff)
  2. sprinklers (‘aspersion’) most popular option, expensive (also for staff and mantainance, so mostly only for top domaines/vineyards)
  3. pruning choices: later pruning for later bud-burst, reducing the chance of damage to the new buds from early spring frosts.

Q

Q

training techniques in burgundy

A
  1. cordon 2. VSP (guyot/replacement cane pruning) 3. poussard-guyot (cane pruning)
83
Q

training style of cordon training in burgundy

A

cordon du royat (find picture)

84
Q

cordon training main features in burgundy

A
  1. high proportion of old wood (might induce some trunk diseases) 2. limits vigour/yield
85
Q

possard guyot system definition

A

maintains the same sap route from one year to the next with pruning wounds only on the upper cordon part

86
Q

advantages of poussard-guyot

A

aids canopy management reduce trunk diseases but requires skilled workers

87
Q

general density in burgundy

A

8-10000 vines per ha

88
Q

why some growers tend to plan a lot of vines per ha?

A

enhance root competition smaller grapes formation (better quality)

89
Q

two main winter pruning techniques to manage/reduce yields

A

debudding green harvesting

90
Q

advantages and disadvantages of debudding

A

good vine balance
can reduce yields (bette quality)

can create huge problems as frost, hail fungal can reduce the crops or completely going to 0

91
Q

advantages and disadvantages of green harvesting

A

growers asses size, shape and position in the vine
take in account adverse weather

changes in vine development (excessive growth brings diluted grapes)

92
Q

maximum yields in burgundy

A
  1. regional: 69 hL/ha (red) - 75 hL/ha (white)
  2. village: 40/45 hL/ha (red) - 45/47 hL/ha (white)
  3. grand cru: 35 hL/ha (red) - 40 hL/ha (white)
93
Q

main problem of organic growing in burgundy

A

organic rules required a specific area surface to work if a producer is too small it needs his neighbours to work in the same way

94
Q

main diseases in burgundy

A

grape moths esca fungal grapevine yellows

95
Q

remedy to stop grape moths in burgundy

A

pheromone capsules

96
Q

fungal main remedies in burgundy

A

canopy management spraying

97
Q

main harvesting problem in burgundy

A

storms during harvest can dilute and damage the fruit workforce to pick by hand is a major consideration

98
Q

timings in harvesting in burgundy

A

early - preserve acidity but fruit might not be ripe late - softer wine but risk of weather

99
Q

how do you pick in burgundy?

A

by hand mainly

100
Q

why acidification in white wines is less necessary now in burgundy?

A

warmer growing seasons better canopy management

101
Q

when you use acidification in whites in burgundy

A
  1. when must doesn’t have enough sugar to reach min % 2. desired style (more alcohol = more body)
102
Q

EU acidification limits

A

75

103
Q

main reason of using a sorting table

A

remove diseased, damaged and unrerripe fruit

104
Q

whole bunch pressing in white wine in burgundy main aim

A

stems aids must drainage

105
Q

why you press immediately a white wine in burgundy

A

avoid skin contact to avoid tannins extraction chardonnay is a non aromatic varietal so no flavors added by maceration

106
Q

main clarification technique for high quality white burgundy

A

sedimentation levels of solids left depends on winemaker’s style

107
Q

main clarification technique for lower quality white burgundy

A

hyperoxidation

108
Q

advantages of hyperoxidation

A

final wine is less prone to oxidation reduce risk of premox / premature oxidation

109
Q

what is premox and when it was first found

A

wines is showing advanced flavor and color started in 2000 while assesing 1996 and onwards vintages

110
Q

causes of premature oxidation

A
  1. vineyard practices (higher yields, different chemical compositon of grapes)
  2. warmer vintages
  3. late harvesting
  4. preumatic presses use (over clean must)
  5. over zealous batonnage
  6. low SO2 at bottling
  7. corks’ quality and tratments
111
Q

why ambient yeasts are used in white wine production in burgundy?

A

encourage terroir expression can monitor fermentation and intervene (ex warming up the ferment)

112
Q

vats for inexpensive white burgundy

A

stainless steel concrete

113

general ageing of premium white burgundy

A

8-12mos in oak barrels and on fine lees

119
Q

barrel types in burgundy

A

228lt (piece) 500-600lt

120
Q

why some winemakers use 500-600lt barrels in white burgundy

A

lower surface to volume ration less oak flavors and oxidation

121
Q

why winemakers are using batonnage in white burgundy

A

add creamy texture reduce reductive flavors

122
Q

MLF in white burgundy

A

carried in netral vessel or oak can be blocked if a fresher style is required

123
Q

is filtering common in white burgundy winemaking?

A

yes cloudiness is easier to spot in white wines and consumers don’t like it

124
