SUMMARY:Feb 2020 Talk: “Geology & Wine in Southern France”
DESCRIPTION:Talk: “Geology & Wine in Southern France” Roger Suthren (Derby Univ.)  \n\n\n\nThere will be a wine tasting session with nibbles after the talk and members are invited to give a donation of £2 to cover the cost of this.For some\, when tasting wine\, terroir is very important but where does terroir come from and how did it get there? We hope to find out. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCôtes du Roussillon vines growing in poor soils on Pleistocene river gravels\, France.

Its varied geology andstructure provide a great range of terroirs and microclimates for vine growing\, resulting in a broadrange of wine styles. Two E-W trending mountain belts – the Pyrenees in the south\, and theMontagne Noire-Cévennes in the north – are separated by the Languedoc Foreland Basin\, filled byLate Cretaceous to Eocene continental and shallow marine sediments. Basin sediments wereinvolved in N-S compression during Pyrenean mountain building: the resultant E-W ridges andvalleys are exploited for viticulture. Post- Pyrenean sedimentary basins and Quaternary volcanoesprovide added interest. Superb outcrops and scenery\, combined with the Mediterranean climateand fine food and wine\, make for memorable fieldwork experiences. \n\n\n\n• Booking: Visitors please e-mail warwickshiregcg@gmail.com to say how many are coming have your place confirmed. Thank you. \n\n\n\nMore info\, see: Geology and Wine\, a web page with many links maintained by Roger SuthrenLink: http://virtual-geology.info/wine/ \n\n\n\nRecent publications by Roger SuthrenSuthren\, R.J.\, Fowler\, M.B. & Guion\, P.D. 2006 Terroir\, wine and geoscience fieldwork education in Languedoc-Roussillon\, southern France In Macqueen\, R.W. and Meinert\, L.D.
