P. Schlich et L. Moio, CORRELATION BETWEEN FLAVOR PROFILES AND A ROMAGRAMS OF CHARDONNAY BURGUNDY WINES, Sciences des aliments, 14(5), 1994, pp. 609-615
The flavor of 7 Chardonnay Burgundy wines, selected for their typicali
ty, was described by the frequency of 7 key-attributes given by a pane
l of oenologists. An aromatic map of the wines is drawn from correspon
dence analysis. The aromagrams of the wines were obtained by sniffing
at the end of the gas chromatographic column. They include 32 compound
s, each described by an odour attribute. Significant correlations were
found between the axes of the aromatic map and 15 compounds.
