Traité d'Oenologie - Tome 1 : Microbiologie du vin, Vinifications (French edition) by Pascal Ribéreau-Gayon

For more than six decades, the Treatise of Oenology has remained the absolute reference in the field of wine science and technology. This work, now a classic, addresses all oenological processes, from the maturation of the grape to bottling, covering all types of wine. The 7th edition of this first volume, titled "Microbiology of Wine, Vinifications," provides significant updates and additions based on recent scientific advancements.

Microbiology of Wine
This volume delves deeply into the metabolism of microorganisms of oenological interest, particularly yeasts and lactic acid bacteria. It also examines the conditions necessary for their development. Special attention is given to the use of SO2 (sulfur dioxide) and complementary products that help control microorganisms during the winemaking process. The latest developments in this field, especially the research from the Faculty of Oenology and the Research Unit of ISVV (Institute of Vine and Wine Sciences), are included in this edition, providing an updated and comprehensive perspective.

Vinifications
The second part of the book focuses on the different types of vinifications. It begins with a detailed study of the composition of the grape and its maturation, crucial stages that determine the final quality of the wine. Red and white vinifications are analyzed in depth, taking into account the specificities of each process. The book also addresses special vinifications, such as those of sparkling wines or sweet wines, offering an exhaustive view of winemaking practices.

Thanks to its rigorous scientific approach and numerous updates, this book stands as an essential guide not only for wine professionals but also for enthusiasts eager to deepen their knowledge in oenology. The author, Pascal Ribéreau-Gayon, is a prominent figure in the field, and his work continues to influence contemporary oenological practices.
