Methional Boiled potatoes 0.5 µg/L Methionine (Ferreira et al., 2002) S O Phenylacetaldehyde Wilted roses, honey 25 µg/L Phenylalanine (Ferreira et al., 2002) O O Oxidation o-aminoacetophenone Moth balls, wax polish 0.7 µg/L Indolacetic acid C H 3 N H 2 Aromatic markers for defective ageing of dry white wines Carbonyl compounds O2

  9. These molecules cannot alone explain aromatic defects during ageing because certain prematurely aged wines do not contain them.

  16. What are the constituents of white wines likely to prevent the formation of these compounds?

  17. in red wines: phenolic compounds, • especially anthocyanins, protect young wine • from oxidative phenomena that can detract from its aroma. • as for white wines, not much is known • about the compounds likely to play a role. • we have showed that certain sulphur peptides, • in particular glutathion, can play a role

  18. Glutathion (Glu CysGly) COO - H+3N CH CH2COO - CH2CONHCH2 CONHCH CH2 SH Glycine Acide glutamique Cystéine

  19. Glutathion in must and wine

  20. Glutathion, a natural component of grapes • It has been shown to be present in large quantity • in grapes: Cheynier et al, 1989; Liyanage et al., 1993 • The accumulation mechanisms are not well-known. • The nitrogenous intake of vines plays en essential role.

  22. Reactivity of glutathion • with oxygen: formation of disulphur • with quinones in the must: formation of GRP Most of the glutathion in grapes disappears when the juice is extracted.

  30. Signs of premature ageing of aromas in white wines

  31. During ageing

  32. Traditional ageing on the lees • Protection of the young wine's fruity aromas • Maintaining wine in a state of oxidation-reduction • to encourage the appearance of a bouquet showing signs • of reduction: truffle, burnt and mineral nuances . • Avoids or delays manifestations of aromatic ageing

  33. Influence of ageing techniques on the defective ageing of wine • Ageing with or without the lees • New or used barrels Evolution - of the fruity aroma - of defective ageing markers - of glutathion

  37. Glutathion Sotolon 3-MH 1.3 9.7 1400 420 5.8 0.5 Used barrel on the lees New barrel without the lees Glutathion, a natural component of grapes makes it possible to prevent the defective ageing of white wines. Glutathion, sotolon and 3-mercapto-hexanol at the end of barrel ageing (mg/L) (ng/L) (µg/L) The same ageing conditions most conducive to preserving the aromatic characteristics of dry white wines also limit a decrease in the level of glutathion.

  38. Interpretation of the protective role of lees • with regard to defective aromatic ageing • Release of reductive compounds • Oxygen fixation by the lees

  39. Oxygen consumption (µg/L/h) of a white wine aged for 6 months entirely its lees Wine aged on its lees 611 Filtered wine 0.01 Lees alone 542 Heat-treated lees 19 (Fornairon et al., 1999)

  40. Manifestation of premature ageing once the wine is bottled

  41. Identification of the random nature of premature ageing in two dry white wines (tasting in 2005 of 12 bottles of each wine) 70 60 Graves 2001 50 40 % 30 20 10 0 Little or no signs of age Showing average signs of age Looking very aged 1997 Pessac Léognan 70 60 50 40 % 30 20 10 0 Little or no signs of age Showing average signs of age Looking very aged

  42. Correlation between the oxygen dissolved in bottled wines and prematurely-aged aromas Analyses of 20 samples of a Graves white wine (1997 vintage) after 7 years in bottle.

  47. Changes in the level of free SO2 in bottle Effect of closure… 30 25 Free SO2 (mg/l) 20 15 1 2 3 4 5 Types of closure used

  48. To prevent the defective ageing of white wines, IT IS NECESSARY TO • have vines with sufficient vigour • limit the extraction of phenolic compounds during pressing • protect both the must and the wine from oxidation • make sure that alcoholic fermentation is completely finished • reduce the lag period for malolactic fermentation • age the wines in reductive conditions • limit the dissolution of oxygen when preparing the wine for bottling • choose a closure that is suited to the wine
