Viticulture is a complex and dynamic system, where climate is a key environmental component of plant suitability and productivity. From field to farm level, climate also plays a prominent role in ongoing practices, shaping winegrowers’ decision making and adaptive...

The first half of 2019 was marked in France by extreme atmospheric phenomena that could cause major damage in vineyards. In 2019, as part of the Life ADVICLIM and AVVENIR projects, 20 temperature sensors were installed in the wine region of Entre-Deux-Mers. These...

Interviewed at Act For Change 2019, Laure de Rességuier, talks about the LIFE-ADVICLIM project from the Saint-Emilion pilot site

The integration of local climate variability (bioclimatic indices and phenological modelling) into regionalized climate change simulations provides an assessment of the impacts of climate change at the vineyard scale. The knowledge gained using this methodology is the...

Following the results of the analysis on climate evolution in the Cotnari pilot site (Romania), where climatic change brought between 1961-2010 climate suitability for the red wine production (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs00704-017-2033-9), ADVICLIM...

In the Loire Valley, the growing season of 2017 has been particularly illustrative of the critical role of climate in growing grapes and making wine. After an initial warm period in the beginning of spring that lead to an early onset of vegetative growth, a severe...

This vintage (2017) will be remembered as the earliest one to date in Rioja and Navarra wine regions. Season advancement was majorly caused by warm temperatures from March until early July. Temperatures in July and August were not far from the average, September being...

A warmer & sunnier than average March leading to slightly earlier Budburst for most varieties, followed by a cooler second half of April. A devastating air frost on the night of the 26th April, destroyed up to 80% of new growth, with the highest proportion of...

Bordeaux was hit by spring frost by the end of April 2017. Four nights with temperatures below 0°C succeeded between April 20 and April 28, among which most damage on the vines was recorded during the morning of April 27. In general, the risk of spring frost is not...
