(-) can use red and white grapes

178
Q

The Monastic and Napoleonic Code of Inheritance influences on classification, fragmentation of vineyards, and vineyard ownership in burgundy

A

(-) During the Middle Ages, Burgundy’s vineyards were largely established and managed by monasteries, notably the Cistercians and Benedictines. They were meticulous in identifying and cultivating specific plots of land, recognizing differences in terroir and grape quality

(-) The French Revolution and subsequent Napoleonic Code revolutionized property laws, dismantling feudal and monastic holdings and redistributing land to private owners. People had to distribute items equally among male heirs

(-) Over generations, vineyards were repeatedly subdivided among heirs, leading to extreme fragmentation. Single vineyards could end up with multiple owners, each holding tiny plots. This division led to the intricate mosaic of small vineyard parcels seen today This fragmentation resulted in complex ownership structures, where one climat might have several owners, each with a fractional share, complicating vineyard management and production consistency

(-) The meticulous categorization initiated by the monks evolved into the modern Burgundy classification system, which includes Premier Cru and Grand Cru designations. These classifications reflect historical recognition of superior terroirs, often originating from monastic evaluations.

180
Q

Bâttonage

A

Bâtonnage is the French term for stirring settled lees back into wine

To remind you, “lees” are the sediment of winemaking, usually made up of dead yeast and bits of grape seeds and solids. Winemakers sometimes like to keep some of these solids in contact with the wine as a way to extract flavor, aroma and texture. The solids can then be filtered or fined out before bottling, or the wine can be racked, leaving the solids behind.

181
Q

What’s the biggest hazard in Chablis

182
Q

General effects of limestone soils on vine vigor

A

(-) Limestone soils typically moderate vine vigor due to their low organic content and high mineral composition. This moderation leads to balanced vine growth, with neither excessive vegetative growth nor stunted development.

(-) Balanced vine vigor is crucial for the production of high-quality grapes, as it allows for optimal sunlight exposure and air circulation around the fruit.

183
Q

Benefits/consequences of planting density

A

(-) Short vineyards - picking in all the great vineyards done by hand or horse

(-) In the cool climate vineyards of Burgundy close planting and vine age are intrinsically linked to quality.

184
Q

What are two risks of grape growing in Burgundy

A

Oidium (white, powdery spots on leaves, shoots, and grape clusters) and Mildew

185
Q

General effects of limestone soils on growth / flavor profile

A

(-) Drainage: Limestone soils are well-draining, preventing waterlogging around the vine roots.

(-) Drainage helps avoid excess moisture, which can lead to diseases and root rot

(-) Limestone is rich in calcium carbonate, which enhances soil structure and pH balance. Contributes to the distinct minerality often found in Burgundy wines.

(-) Fracturing of limestone bedrock allows vine roots to penetrate deeply, accessing nutrients and water stored in deeper soil layers. Promotes resilience and access to consistent moisture, especially during dry periods

186
Q

Cold soak, also known as pre-fermentative maceration (CPM)

A

Involves keeping crushed red grapes at a low temperature before fermentation begins

Goal is to enhance the extraction of flavor compounds, aroma, and pigments from the grape skins into the wine

Cold soaking temperatures are usually between 5–10°C (48–60°F) and the process can take anywhere from a few hours to 10 days, but typically lasts around 3 days

187
Q

Semi-carbonic maceration

A

Winemaking technique that combines carbonic maceration with traditional alcoholic fermentation.

Involves a short period of carbonic maceration followed by conventional yeast fermentation. The process can produce fresh, vibrant wines with a fruity or musk-like aroma

188
Q

Variations in oak usage between Grand

A
