This exhaustive scientific work was made public during Barcelona Wine Week in April, when the founder of the aromatic science of molecular harmonies and creator of the &#8220;mathematics of flavor,&#8221; Francois Chartier (along with the support of sommelier Isabelle Moren and the Chartier World LAB Barcelona team) presented the document that aims to help wine companies and the food industry define &#8220;the spirit of the place,\u201d which includes all forms of animal, plant, and bacterial life (including the microorganisms that live in the soil and on the vines). Definitely a milestone, this is the first study of its kind in the history of the world of wine.
