Inspired by the latest research advances and drawing on the quantification of compounds of interest and sensory analysis, the technology transfer unit helps to clarify the influence of viticultural and winemaking practices on sensory properties by providing comprehensive oenological expertise.
Oenometrics is one of the technology transfer units of the Joint Research Unit in Oenology (UMR Oeno 1366) based at the Institute of Vine and Wine Sciences. Our close ties with the laboratory’s researchers, and access to the Research Unit’s resources and equipment, enable us to make research findings both more accessible and useful to professionals in the sector. Our expertise centres on the detailed analysis of volatile and non-volatile compounds of interest and their influence on the aroma and taste of wine.
Detailed analysis services
A range of chemical analysis services for volatile and non-volatile compounds in wine, drawing on recent research and cutting-edge technologies (gas or liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry)
Support for the implementation of practical trials
Oenometrics offers support to all stakeholders in the sector to assist them in designing and implementing an experimental protocol, including quantitative analyses of compounds of interest, sensory analysis, statistical analysis and the interpretation of results.
Support for research activities
The search for molecular markers linked to the organoleptic qualities of wine is a key area of research at the UMR OENO laboratory. We work closely with researchers at the ISVV and are involved in several research projects funded through various channels. Gaining an understanding of the natural phenomena that occur during winemaking, as well as the molecular mechanisms underlying the formation of key markers, provides concrete answers to practical questions faced by various stakeholders in the wine industry.
