Abstract
The main goal of this research was to identify key aroma compounds involved in the dried fruits (prune and dried fig) aroma of musts. An odoriferous zone (OZ) was detected by gas chromatography coupled with olfactometry (GC-O) and identified as (Z)-1,5-octadien-3-one (geranium). A quantitation method by SPME-GC-MS (CI, MeOH) was developed and validated for assaying this very fragrant ketone in musts for the first time (LOD, 0.15 ng/L; LOQ, 0.5 ng/L). Concentrations of (Z)-1,5-octadien-3-one in musts marked by dried fruits flavors reached 90 ng/L, thus exceeding its detection threshold (Dth = 9 ng/L). Moreover, sensory experiments showed that this compound contributes to the dried fig nuance at concentrations ranging from 64 to 96 ng/L. Above that level, it contributes to the geranium nuance of the must. Its affinity with sulfur dioxide was also established; 30 mg/L of sulfur dioxide causes a decrease of concentration of 60%.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The present paper details a new technique based on spraying nebulized water on vine canopy to counteract the negative impact of the current wave of hot summers with temperatures above 30 °C, which usually determine negative effects on vine yield, grape composition and wine quality. RESULTS The automatized spraying system was able to maintain air temperature at below 30 °C (the threshold temperature to start spraying) for all of August 2013, when in the canopy of uncooled vines the temperature was as high as 36 °C. The maintenance of temperature below 30 °C reduced leaf stress linked to high temperature and irradiance regimes as highlighted by the decrease of H2 O2 content and catalase activity in the leaves. A higher amount of total polyphenols and organic acids and lower sugars characterized the grapes of cooled vines. Wine from these grapes had a higher content of some volatile thiols like 3-sulfanylhexanol (3SH) and 3-sulfanylhexylacetate (3SHA), and lower content of 4-methyl-4-sulfanylpentan-2-one (4MSP). CONCLUSION Under conditions of high temperature and irradiance regimes, water nebulization on the vine canopy can represent a valid solution to reduce and/or avoid oxidative stress and associated effects in the leaves, ensure a regular berry ripening and maintain high wine quality. The consumption of water during nebulization was acceptable, being 180 L ha-1 min-1 , which lasted an average of about 1 min to reduce the temperature below the threshold value of 30 °C. A total of 85-90 hL (from 0.8 to 0.9 mm) of water per hectare per day was required. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Chardonnay wines impart a unique complex aroma characterized by its buttery, yellow stone fruit, melon, bready, and woody notes. Among the terms used in the sensory analysis of these wines, this study investigated hazelnut-like attributes. Multidimensional gas chromatography coupled to olfactometry identified five pyrroles reminiscent of hazelnut: 1-ethylpyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde, 1H-pyrrole, 2-acetyl-1H-pyrrole (first identification in wine), 1-methylpyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde, and 1H-pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde. Quantitative analyses demonstrated their significantly higher abundance in Chardonnay wines. However, they proved irrelevant in sensory terms, given the low amounts measured in wine compared to their olfactory detection threshold. Nevertheless, the presence of methanethiol derivatives from these pyrroles was investigated in wine. 1-Methylpyrrole-2-methanethiol and 1-ethylpyrrole-2-methanethiol were identified and exhibited hazelnut-like aroma. These compounds, which have not been observed in natural products to date, are potent volatile compounds with detection thresholds of 0.7 and 1.4 ng/L, respectively, in model wine. These findings open up promising perspectives concerning the interpretation of the typical aromatic nuances of some Chardonnay wines.

Abstract
The aromatic descriptor "green", reflecting grape unripeness in French red wines, is frequently associated with the levels of 3-alkyl-2-methoxypyrazines, particularly 3-isobutyl-2-methoxypyrazine (IBMP), which has bell pepper nuances. Nevertheless, not all green aromatic expressions in red wines correlate with 3-alkyl-2-methoxypyrazine concentrations. This study considered sensory and chemical approaches using Cabernet Sauvignon wines obtained from grapes harvested at one-month intervals during the 2014 and 2015 vintages to investigate other volatile odoriferous compounds. Semipreparative HPLC fractionation of wine extracts revealed a fraction with specific green aromas in the early harvest wines. Its sensory impact was confirmed by omission and reconstitution tests. Then, multidimensional gas chromatography coupled with olfactometry and mass spectrometry (MDGC-O-MS/TOF) was used for molecular characterization of the aroma compounds associated with the green aromas. Surprisingly, eucalyptol (1,8-cineole), with menthol odor was highlighted and assayed at concentrations sometimes above its olfactory detection threshold in Cabernet Sauvignon and Fer Servadou wines. Sensory tests confirmed its impact at several concentrations detected in French red wines (up to 2.61 ± 0.03 μg/L) on the menthol nuance and overall green perception, particularly via an additive effect with IBMP. Quantitation of 1,8-cineole in Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes during berry development in 2015 revealed its varietal origin with abundant concentrations in unripe berries and decrease during grape maturation. Moreover, the implication of an invasive plant (Artemisia verlotiorum) growing in certain vineyards was shown to be responsible for increased 1,8-cineole concentrations in some wines.

Abstract
Recent studies concerning the aroma of noble rot dessert wines revealed the importance of a well-known phenomenon in perfumery, the perceptual blending, to create the perception of "overripe orange" nuances. Thus, compounds associated with both oak wood aging (3-methyl-4-octanolide and eugenol) and Botrytis cinerea development under the form of noble rot (2-nonen-4-olide and γ-nonalactone) contribute to a specific aroma of great noble rot dessert wines through perceptual interaction phenomena. This synthetic perception phenomenon was established from reconstitution, addition, and omission sensory experiments, using wine extract fractions supplemented with the volatile compounds previously mentioned. To better understand the sensory impact of these compounds, the goal of this research was to study the contributions of enantiomeric forms of 2-nonen-4-olide and γ-nonalactone and the diastereoisomers of 3-methyl-4-octanolide. After multidimensional chiral chromatography analysis, the relative proportions of enantiomers or diastereomeric forms were first established and then sensory experiments were carried out using the reference compounds with isolated fractions from dessert wines. A dominance of the R form was established for 2-nonen-4-olide, which was correlated with wine aging, while the S form is more dominant in young dessert wines. Furthermore, the reconstitution experiments confirmed perceptual interaction phenomena and revealed the sensory contribution of (R)-2-nonen-4-olide and cis-3-methyl-4-octanolide concerning the "overripe orange" nuances, whereas no sensory impact for the γ-nonalactone isomers was observed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Volatile thiols largely contribute to the organoleptic characteristics and typicity of Sauvignon blanc wines. Among this family of odorous compounds, 3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol (3SH) and 4-methyl-4-sulfanylpentan-2-one (4MSP) have a major impact on wine flavor. These thiols are formed during alcoholic fermentation by the yeast from odorless, non-volatile precursors found in the berries and the must. The present study investigates the effects of vine nitrogen (N) status on 3SH and 4MSP content in Sauvignon blanc wine and on the glutathionylated and cysteinylated precursors of 3SH (Glut-3SH and Cys-3SH) in the berries and the must. This is paralleled by a RNA-seq analysis of gene expression in the berries. The impact of N supply on the expression of the glutathione-S-transferase 3 and 4 (VviGST3 and VviGST4) and the γ-glutamyltranspeptidase (VviGGT), considered as key genes in their biosynthesis, was also evaluated. RESULTS N supply (N100 treatment) increased the 3SH content in wine while no effect was noticed on 4MSP level. Furthermore, N supply increased Glut-3SH levels in grape berries at late berry ripening stages, and this effect was highly significant in must at harvest. No significant effect of N addition was noticed on Cys-3SH concentration. The transcript abundance of the glutathione-S-transferases VviGST3 and VviGST4 and the γ-glutamyltranspeptidase (VviGGT), were similar between the control and the N100 treatment. New candidate genes which might be implicated in the biosynthetic pathway of 3SH precursors were identified by whole transcriptome shotgun sequencing (RNA-seq). CONCLUSIONS High vine N status has a positive effect on 3SH content in wine through an increase of Glut-3SH levels in grape berries and must. Candidate GSTs and glutathione-S-conjugates type transporters involved in this stimulation were identified by RNA-seq analysis.

Abstract
The study aimed to determine the relationship between perceived mineral character in wine and wine chemical composition. We investigated the sensory properties and chemical composition of sauvignon blanc wines from two major sauvignon-producing countries, New Zealand and France. Sensory experiments employing 16 wines (8 French, 8 New Zealand) were conducted in Marlborough, New Zealand and in three regions of France, namely Bordeaux, Burgundy, and the Sancerre/Loire region. Wine professionals (31 New Zealanders and 32 French professionals) sensorially characterised the 16 wines under three conditions, bouquet only (ortho-nasal olfaction), palate only (nose clip condition), and full tasting (global condition: ortho-nasal olfaction, retronasal olfaction, taste, trigeminal stimulation). Sensory data from the global condition only are reported in this article. Physical and chemical analyses conducted on all wines included wine standard parameters, elemental composition, volatile aroma composition, and measures of organic acids. Major results demonstrate that (i) on average French and New Zealand wines were perceived similarly in intensity of mineral character, although judgments to individual wines differed as a function of participant culture; (ii) French and NZ participants drew on different information to make their sensory judgments; and (iii) several aspects of wine composition associated positively with perception of mineral character while others associated negatively, the significant associations differing as a function of participant culture.

Abstract
AbstractClimate change is a major challenge in wine production. Temperatures are increasing worldwide, and most regions are exposed to water deficits more frequently. Higher temperatures trigger advanced phenology. This shifts the ripening phase to warmer periods in the summer, which will affect grape composition, in particular with respect to aroma compounds. Increased water stress reduces yields and modifies fruit composition. The frequency of extreme climatic events (hail, flooding) is likely to increase. Depending on the region and the amount of change, this may have positive or negative implications on wine quality. Adaptation strategies are needed to continue to produce high-quality wines and to preserve their typicity according to their origin in a changing climate. The choice of plant material is a valuable resource to implement these strategies. (JEL Classifications: Q13, Q54)

Abstract
Vanillylthiol, a chemical compound reminiscent of clove and smoke, has been identified for the first time in young red and dry white wines. The chemical structure of this new aroma was confirmed by original chemical synthesis. Vanillylthiol was prepared by a two-step procedure from vanillin. The conversion of vanillin to divanillyl disulfide was easily achieved by treatment with an inorganic sulfur-donor reagent. Reduction of the disulfide gave the target thiol in good yield. The quantification of vanillylthiol in wine was performed by nonspecific liquid/liquid extraction (CH2Cl2), separation of the volatile compounds using gas chromatography, and specific detection using tandem mass spectrometry (triple quadrupole). Vanillylthiol was found particularly in young wines aged in new oak barrels. These wines contained between a few 50 ng/L to more than 8300 ng/L. The highest levels were found in red wines aged 12 months in new oak barrels. Given its perception threshold in a wine model solution (3.8 μg/L), vanillylthiol may contribute to the spicy, clove-like flavor of red wines aged in oak barrels.

Abstract
Two main precursors (S-3-(hexan-1-ol)-l-cysteine and S-3-(hexan-1-ol)-l-glutathione) of 3-sulfanylhexanol (3SH, formerly named 3-mercaptohexanol) have been identified so far in grape juice but a correlation between precursor concentrations in grape juices and 3SH concentrations in wines is not always observed. This suggests that there may be other compounds associated with the aromatic potential. In this work, S-3-(hexanal)-glutathione (Glut-3SH-Al) and its bisulfite (Glut-3SH-SO3) adduct were identified in Sauvignon blanc grape juice by liquid chromatography coupled to Fourier transform mass spectrometry experiments. A partial purification of the compounds was carried out by Medium Pressure Liquid Chromatography (MPLC) on the reverse phase using 5L of grape juice. The addition of synthetized Glut-3SH-Al and Glut-3SH-SO3 in the synthetic medium induced a significant release of 3SH after fermentation. Moreover, we demonstrate that Glut-3SH-Al and its bisulfite adduct are present in grape juice and could be considered as new direct 3SH precursors with molar conversion yields close to 0.4%.

Abstract
Methoxypyrazines (MP) constitute a large family of compounds that contribute to the vegetative varietal aroma of many grapevine varieties and wines. The berry content in 2-methoxy-3-isobutylpyrazine (IBMP), a major MP reminiscent of green-pepper aroma, can be influenced by environmental factors or cultural practices such as water status or mineral nutrition. To date, no study has investigated a possible direct effect of nitrogen (N) on IBMP synthesis without possible interference from water status and vigor variations. In this study, only vine nitrogen status was significantly different among treatments. Water status was controlled during the season, and vine vigor was similar among treatments. IBMP level was maximal at bunch closure and decreased during the season. There was no significant effect of nitrogen nutrition on this metabolite. Moreover, the expression profiles of VvOMT3 and VvOMT4, key genes in the IBMP biosynthetic pathway, were similar between treatments. This result indicates that when an effect of N on IBMP was found in previous studies, it was likely mediated through the modification of bunch-zone microclimate, induced by the higher vigor of high N-status vines.

Abstract
The development of an aromatic bouquet during fine wine aging depends on complex transformations occurring in a reductive atmosphere, favorable to the formation and preservation of sulfur odorants, such as dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and polyfunctional thiols. The aim of this study was to address their role in the occurrence, evolution, and perceived sensory nuances of the aging bouquet of red Bordeaux wines. These compounds were quantified in 24 wines and scored by a professional wine panel for the degree to which they reflected the aging bouquet olfactory concept. Partial least square (PLS) analysis, combining sensory and quantitative chemical data, predicted that DMS, 2-furanmethanethiol, and 3-sulfanylhexanol concentrations correlated with the typicality score, discriminating highly-typical wines from less-typical ones. Several vintages from three vineyards were then subjected to sensory and chemical analysis to determine how aging bouquet typicality and the intensity of five key aromatic notes (undergrowth, truffle, fresh fruit, toasted, and empyreumatic) evolved during bottle storage in relation to these three sulfur odorants. PCA analysis emphasized their combined impact on aging bouquet typicality and their contribution to undergrowth, truffle, and empyreumatic attributes.

Abstract
Recent studies have demonstrated the existence of a typical sensory concept for Bordeaux dessert wines, including the world famous wines of Sauternes. Volatile compounds from several chemical families (thiols, aldehydes, and lactones) were identified and correlated with aromatic typicality in these wines. However, these studies were unable to indicate "key" aromas of overripe fruits, especially overripe orange. The alternative strategy developed in this research combined both analytical and sensory studies of fractions of dessert wine extracts obtained by semipreparative high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Multidimensional gas chromatography coupled to olfactometry and mass spectrometry (MDGC-O/MS) was applied to some of the HPLC fractions recalling "overripe fruit", and a new lactone, 2-nonen-4-olide, was identified. Reconstitution and omission tests using the HPLC fractions highlighted the importance of specific compounds, particularly 2-nonen-4-olide, in the expression of overripe orange notes. Although this lactone presents minty and fruity odors, its key contribution to the typical aroma of orange in Bordeaux dessert wines was revealed through perceptual blending.

Abstract
GC-MS in chemical ionization mode (CI) was used as a simple, sensitive method for assaying 3-methyl-2,4-nonanedione (MND) in 67 red wines. MND content was shown to be lower in nonoxidized red wines and higher in oxidized red wines, that is, systematically exceeding the perception threshold (62 ng/L). Concentrations up to 340 ng/L in the most oxidized red wines were also evidenced. According to these quantitative data, the presence of MND alone was shown to modify significantly the flavor of the red wine as evaluated from fresh fruit flavor in red wine without MND to aromatic expression of rancio in wines with elevated concentrations (308.9 ng/L). Incidence of oxygen on its formation was also investigated. For the first time, elevated concentrations of this compound in various wines were demonstrated, that is, white, rosé, botrytized wines, and fortified wines made with over-ripened grapes. The lowest levels (2.9 ng/L) were found in nonoxidized white wines, whereas the highest levels were found in oxidized botrytized wines (293.8 ng/L). These results tend to demonstrate that MND is in general a good marker of oxidation in wines made with a maceration step between the skin and the pulp. These preliminary results provide a new analytical explanation of what is known in enology as the "vin de garde" concept.

Abstract
Methoxypyrazines (MPs) are strongly odorant volatile molecules with vegetable-like fragrances that are widespread in plants. Some grapevine (Vitis vinifera) varieties accumulate significant amounts of MPs, including 2-methoxy-3-isobutylpyrazine (IBMP), which is the major MP in grape berries. MPs are of particular importance in white Sauvignon Blanc wines. The typicality of these wines relies on a fine balance between the pea pod, capsicum character of MPs and the passion fruit/grapefruit character due to volatile thiols. Although MPs play a crucial role in Sauvignon varietal aromas, excessive concentrations of these powerful odorants alter wine quality and reduce consumer acceptance, particularly in red wines. The last step of IBMP biosynthesis has been proposed to involve the methoxylation of the nonvolatile precursor 2-hydroxy-3-isobutylpyrazine to give rise to the highly volatile IBMP. In this work, we have used a quantitative trait loci approach to investigate the genetic bases of IBMP biosynthesis. This has led to the identification of two previously uncharacterized S-adenosyl-methionine-dependent O-methyltransferase genes, termed VvOMT3 and VvOMT4. Functional characterization of these two O-methyltransferases showed that the VvOMT3 protein was highly specific and efficient for 2-hydroxy-3-isobutylpyrazine methylation. Based on its differential expression in high- and low-MP-producing grapevine varieties, we propose that VvOMT3 is a key gene for IBMP biosynthesis in grapevine.

Abstract
Closures have an important influence on wine quality during aging in a bottle. Closures have a direct impact on oxygen exposure and on volatiles scavenging in wine. Model wine solution soaking assays of several types of closures (i.e., natural and technical cork stoppers, synthetic closures, screw caps) with two important wine volatile sulfur compounds led to a considerable reduction in their levels. After 25 days, cork closures and synthetic closures, to a lesser extent, have significantly scavenged hydrogen sulfide and dimethyl sulfide. These compounds have a determinant impact on wine aging bouquet, being largely responsible for "reduced off-flavors". Hydrogen sulfide levels are often not well correlated with the exposure of wine to oxygen or with the permeability of the closure. Its preferential sorption by some types of closures may explain that behavior. Scalping phenomenon should be taken into account when studying wine post-bottling development.

Abstract
HPLC-MS and (1)H, (13)C, and 2D NMR analyses were used to identify new addition products between 3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol (3SH) and o-quinones derived from (+)-catechin, (-)-epicatechin, and caftaric acid. The kinetics of formation of these adducts were monitored in a wine model solution and in a must-like medium by HPLC-UV-MS with the aim of understanding the chemical mechanism involved in reactions between volatile thiols and o-quinones. One o-quinone-caftaric acid/3SH adduct, three o-quinone-(+)-catechin/3SH adducts, and three o-quinone-(-)-epicatechin/3SH adducts were characterized. Caftaric acid was oxidized faster than (-)-epicatechin and (+)-catechin when these phenolic compounds were incubated in a one-component mixture with polyphenoloxidase (PPO) in the presence of 3SH. Consequently, o-quinone-caftaric acid formed adducts with 3SH more rapidly than o-quinone-(+)-catechin and o-quinone-(-)-epicatechin in the absence of other nucleophilic species. Furthermore, o-quinone-(-)-epicatechin reacted faster than o-quinone-(+)-catechin with 3SH. Sulfur dioxide decreased the yield of adduct formation to a significant extent. Under chemical oxidation conditions, the rates and yields of adduct formation were lower than those observed in the presence of PPO, and o-quinone-caftaric acid was slightly less reactive with 3SH, compared to oxidized flavan-3-ols. The identification of o-quinone-caftaric acid/3SH and o-quinone-(+)-catechin/3SH adducts in a must matrix suggests that the proposed reaction mechanism is responsible for 3SH loss in dry wines during their vinification and aging process.

Abstract
A number of Sauvignon blanc wines made from hard pressed juices in an inert atmosphere (nitrogen) or in contact with oxygen were identified as having heavy off-flavors to varying degrees. Samples were extracted and subjected to time-based HPLC fractionation. The fractions were assessed by a sensory panel and those with unpleasant, irritating, off-odors were re-extracted. The extracts evaluated by gas chromatography coupled with olfactometry revealed a number of odoriferous zones, including one with an off-odor similar to the one perceived in two HPLC fractions. The odor was less intense in fractions previously supplemented with copper sulfate, suggesting that the compound(s) responsible were possibly thiol-related. A selective thiols extraction protocol and the analysis of the extract by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry identified a new potent thiol in these wines. The compound responsible for the odoriferous zone, ethyl 2-sulfanylacetate (1), had an odor reminiscent of baked beans and Fritillaria meleagris bulbs. Its perception threshold was determined and sensory studies using graduated supplementation in dry white wines demonstrated its contribution to the off-odor observed in dry white wines.
