Santeny Clos Rousseau Girardin Tech Sheet

DOMAINE JACQUES GIRARDIN SANTENAY 1ER CRU « CLOS ROUSSEAU » The entire Girardin family are renow- ned winemakers, including Jacques’ father Jean, and his well-known bro- ther, Vincent. Jacques has been pro- ducing wine from his own domaine since 1978. Located in Santenay, the 17-hectare Domaine Jacques Girardin produces a range of red and white wines, featuring 1er Cru sites in San- tenay, Savigny-lès-Beaune and Chas- sagne-Montrachet and an exceptional old vines Bourgogne Pinot Noir. The domaine is run by Jacques and his wife, Valerie. Their son, Justin, has recently joined the domaine after wor- king in vineyards in Australia. He brings a modern sensibility to this very traditional Burgundian estate. Region: Burgundy Appellation: Santenay 1er Cru Owner: Jacques and Valerie Girardin, Justin Girardin Established: 1570 Farming Practices: Sustainable Vineyard: 1.92 ha Soil: Limestone and marl. Grape Varieties: 100% Pinot Noir Avg. Age of Vines: 45 years Yield/Hectare: 42 hl/ha Avg. Production: 11,000 bottles Vinification and Élevage: The grapes are de-stemmed, lightly pressed and go through a cool maceration in tank in order to extract the primary aromas. Utilizing indigenous yeasts, alcoholic fermentation is then care- fully monitored. Extraction is gentle, respecting the grape variety, terroir and vintage. The wine is allowed to settle and then racked into barrels. The malolactic fermentation takes place in barrels with aging on lees. Total aging is 15-18 months in 20% new and 80% used oak. About The Vineyard: Clos Rousseau is a 23.83 ha vineyard which is comprised of three smaller crus, Grand Clos Rousseau, Les Fourneaux and Petit Clos Rousseau. It lies on the Southern border of Santenay neighbor- ing Maranges. Tasting Notes: Deep garnet color. Very ripe dark fruit aromas: black currants, red plums. Layered texture and ripe tannins, round on the palate, followed by a long, satisfying finish. This Santenay is definitely a food wine, with its accessible style and firm yet rich structure. Aging potential 8 to 10 years. Superb value in a Pre- mier Cru Burgundy. IMPORTED BY ! 242 S. MARION STREET, OAK PARK, IL 60302 • 708-386-6347 (PH) / 708-386-6283 (FX) • WWW.CORSOWINES.COM.

CHABLIS LES CLOS GRAND CRU 2017 100% Chardonnay Although I’Ve Said It Before, It’S Worth Repeating: Drouhin Is One of the Top Producers in Chablis
CHABLIS LES CLOS GRAND CRU 2017 100% Chardonnay Although I’ve said it before, it’s worth repeating: Drouhin is one of the top producers in Chablis. - WineReviewOnline.com The vineyard site is the largest and probably most famous Grand Cru, located between Valmur on the left and Blanchot on the right. The exposure is responsible for its generous and powerful character. It is the cradle of Chablis, already recognized by the medieval monks as a superb location for planting a vineyard. The term “Les Clos” (enclosure, in French) probably refers to the surrounding wall that they built to fence off the parcel. This wall is no longer in existence. At the end of the 19th Century the vineyard was devastated by the phylloxera disease. In the 1960’s, Robert Drouhin was one of the first Beaune propriétaires to bring it back to life. Vineyard site: • Soil: the Kimmeridgian limestone contains millions of tiny marine fossils embedded in a kind of whitish mortar which may have been once the bottom of the sea...hundreds of million years ago. • This marine origin gives the wines of Chablis their unique flavour. • Drouhin estate: 1.3 ha. (3.212 acres). Average age of the vines: 37 years. Viticulture: • Plantation density: 8,000 to 10,000 stocks/ha. • Pruning: double Guyot “Vallée de la Marne” (for its resistance to frost). • Yield: we aim for a lower yield in order to extract all possible nuances from the terroir. • Average yield at the Domaine: 43.2hl/ha (authorized for the appellation is now 54hl/ha). Ageing • Type: in oak barrel (0% new wood).

An Economic Survey of the Wine and Winegrape Industry in the United States and Canada
An Economic Survey of the Wine and Winegrape Industry in the United States and Canada Daniel A. Sumner, Helene Bombrun, Julian M. Alston, and Dale Heien University of California, Davis Revised draft December 2, 2001 The wine industry in the United States and Canada is new by Old World standards but old by New World standards. The industry has had several rebirths, so specifying its age may depend on the purpose of the investigation. In the colonial and post-colonial period up through the middle of the 19th Century, it was a relatively tiny industry with imports accounting for almost all of the still meager consumption of quality wine in the region (Winkler, et al.). There was gradual development in the latter half of the 19th century, but wine production in the United States and Canada only began to develop significantly with the expansion of the California industry early in the 20th century (Carosso; Hutchinson). Then the industry needed to be recreated after the prohibition era from 1920 to 1932. More recently, in a sense, the industry was reborn again thirty or so years ago with an aggressive movement towards higher quality. The geography of the industry is relatively simple. Despite some wine and winegrape production in Canada and most states in the United States, California is the location of more than 90 percent of grape crush and about 85 percent of the wine production in North America (Wine Institute). Therefore, most of the discussion of grape and wine production in this chapter focuses on California. The discussion of demand and policy issues, of course, covers all of the United States and Canada.

France Few Regions Can Claim the Fame and Admiration That Burgundy BURGUNDY Has Enjoyed Since the Second Century
France Few regions can claim the fame and admiration that Burgundy BURGUNDY has enjoyed since the second century. Comprised of the Chablis, Côte d’Or, Côte Chalonnaise, Mâconnais and Beaujolais regions, Burgundy occupies a long and narrow stretch of vineyards in eastern France. The critical effect of terroir in Burgundy is expressed in its complex classification system. • Vineyards are divided into separate appellations along terroir France boundaries; the full range of classification levels from broadest to the most distinguished follows: District (e.g. Beaujolais or Chablis), Village (e.g. Pommard), Premier Cru (e.g. Pommard les Rugiens) and Grands Cru (e.g. Clos Vougeot). • As a result of Burgundy’s rules of inheritance, vineyard ownership is quite fragmented, with multiple owners for most crus. The Clos de Vougeot vineyard, for example, is split between 80 different owners. • Though soils vary, clay and limestone predominate in the Côte d’Or and granite is common in Beaujolais.

Charting a Chemical Roadmap of Terroir in Corn—Tools For
CHARTING A CHEMICAL ROADMAP OF TERROIR IN CORN—TOOLS FOR SELECTION OF NOVEL VARIETIES FOR WHISKEY A Dissertation by ROBERT JONES ARNOLD Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Seth C. Murray Co-Chair of Committee, Eric E. Simanek Committee Members, Chris R. Kerth Joseph M. Awika Alma Fernandez Gonzalez Head of Department, David D. Baltensperger May 2021 Major Subject: Plant Breeding Copyright 2021 Robert J. Arnold ABSTRACT Corn is a vital ingredient to the whiskey industry, most notably as the main ingredient in bourbon whiskey. However, little research exists that explores how genetic, environment, and gene-environment interaction effects (collectively, terroir) impact corn chemistry and ultimately flavor and alcohol yield in whiskey. Here, the impact of terroir on new-make bourbon whiskey, as well as how it can be leveraged for the selection of flavor and alcohol yield in corn, was determined. A novel lab-scale distillation process, high performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and quantitative sensory analyses allowed for the identification and quantification of those flavor compounds, aromas, and yield-related metrics that are impacted by terroir. We report for the first time that alcohol yield, a variety of flavor compounds, and ultimately aroma are indeed impacted by terroir in new-make bourbon whiskey. Certain metabolites in corn, mash, and beer were identified as significant predictors for alcohol yield and flavor chemistry in new-make bourbon whiskey, providing chemical makers that can be implemented in a breeding program.

Yield Estimation in Vineyards by Visual Grape Detection
Yield Estimation in Vineyards by Visual Grape Detection Stephen Nuske, Supreeth Achar, Terry Bates, Srinivasa Narasimhan and Sanjiv Singh. Abstract— The harvest yield in vineyards can vary signifi- cantly from year to year and also spatially within plots due to variations in climate, soil conditions and pests. Fine grained knowledge of crop yields would allow viticulturists to better manage their vineyards. The current industry practice for yield prediction is destructive, expensive and spatially sparse – small samples are taken from the vineyards during the growing season and extrapolated to determine overall yield. We present an automated method that uses computer vision to identify and count grape berries. These counts are used to generate per vine estimates of crop yield. Both shape and visual texture are used to detect berries. We demonstrate detection of green berries against a green leaf background. We present crop yield estimation results, with the actual harvest yield as groundtruth Fig. 1. Example camera image of Gerwurztraminer wine grapes captured for 200 vines (over 450 meters) of two different grape varieties. at veraison.´ Automatically detecting the grape crop within imagery such as We calibrate our berry count to yield and find that we can this is difficult because of issues caused by the lighting and shadows, and predict yield to within 9.8% of actual crop weight. the lack of contrast to the leaf background.

Machine Vision for Ripeness Estimation in Viticulture Automation
horticulturae Review Machine Vision for Ripeness Estimation in Viticulture Automation Eleni Vrochidou , Christos Bazinas , Michail Manios, George A. Papakostas * , Theodore P. Pachidis and Vassilis G. Kaburlasos HUMAIN-Lab, Department of Computer Science, School of Sciences, International Hellenic University (IHU), 65404 Kavala, Greece; [email protected] (E.V.); [email protected] (C.B.); [email protected] (M.M.); [email protected] (T.P.P.); [email protected] (V.G.K.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +30-2510-462-321 Abstract: Ripeness estimation of fruits and vegetables is a key factor for the optimization of field management and the harvesting of the desired product quality. Typical ripeness estimation involves multiple manual samplings before harvest followed by chemical analyses. Machine vision has paved the way for agricultural automation by introducing quicker, cost-effective, and non-destructive methods. This work comprehensively surveys the most recent applications of machine vision techniques for ripeness estimation. Due to the broad area of machine vision applications in agriculture, this review is limited only to the most recent techniques related to grapes. The aim of this work is to provide an overview of the state-of-the-art algorithms by covering a wide range of applications. The potential of current machine vision techniques for specific viticulture applications is also analyzed. Problems, limitations of each technique, and future trends are discussed. Moreover, the integration of machine vision algorithms in grape harvesting robots for real-time in-field maturity assessment is additionally examined.
