We have been a member of the « Vignerons Indépendants » (French Independent Winegrowers Federation) since 1990, focussing on the following principles:
- Working in the vines with the highest level of respect for the land, up until the bottling process in our wine cellars
- Promoting our wines worldwide
- Handing down our expertise and passion from generation to generation, since 1828
Since 2005, we have adopted a sustainable approach, from the vine to the bottle:
- Cutting down on vineyard phytosanitary treatments
- Maintaining permanent weed cover between our vines, which is beneficial for biodiversity and habitats
- Installing an apiary in our vineyards, which bears witness to our outstanding biodiversity
- Reducing water consumption in the wine cellar
- Using lighter bottles to reduce the weight of glass
- Building a water treatment plant to manage liquid waste
- Certification "Environnementale" level 2 in 2014
- On going process for the level 3 "Haute Valeur Environnementale" (High Environmental Value)
- Our vineyards have also been awarded AREA in 2014 (a standard granted by the Aquitaine region for eco-friendly agriculture)
- In July 2015, after 2 years of audit, we joint the "Association pour le SME du vin de Bordeaux" (Environmental Management System) , certified ISO 14001
