The ODG ( Management and Protection Organisations) of Bordeaux’s sweet white wine appellations took part in two studies carried out in 2018 by the ISVV (Institute for Sciences of the Vine & Wine). The first presentation was given at Vinitech in November 2018.

A new conference was scheduled on FRIDAY 18th JANUARY 2019  at the Cadillac Wine House from 4.30pm to 6.30pm 

Subjects:

- Bordeaux Sweet white wines: between aromatic quality and the crisis in consumption, what sensorial characteristics should be given priority?

- Are UNESCO cultural Landscapes, a territorial resource?

Recent work carried out by the Institute of Sciences of the Vine and Wine concerning sensorial studies and experimental economy with consumers for various characteristics of sweet white wines was presented at this conference. A review was given about the phenomenon of botrytisation as the factor which amplifies the aromatic component of sweet white wines.
