"How is the wine made ?"
That is the question we have thought about all year long.We have answered
thanks to school classes,experimental work that we have integrated
to the lesson, a visit to the Chateau Pape Clément located near
our high-school, a complete bibliography and a lecture which was on the
8th december 1999 entitled "The wine chimestry".
First, during school lessons, the gathering of information about all
the secrets of wine, has been the main goal of our research.
Experimental work about the proportion of acidity and about the presence
of iron in white wine.Some of these experiments have been filmed
to show the actual experiences and the results.
Then, the visit at the Chateau Pape Clement allowed us to enrich our
knowledge thanks to specialists who have answered our questions (and
who have had the kindness to make us taste the new wine).
Furthermore, the bibliography has given us a lot of information about
different details:
-Science and gastronomy,
-Wine from the analysis to the making,
-The wine by Pascal
Ribereau-Gayon,author of the lecture on the 8/12/99 which some of
us attended.
