To take care of nature, we are developing agroforestry, creating favorable conditions for bats and bees, and helping to protect the natural balance in the soil.

For more than 10 years, our industry has invested to improve its environmental practices in response to consumer expectations and civil society.

More than 75% of our area under vine today is certified by an environmental strategy (AB, HEV, Terra Vitis, Demeter, etc.), compared to 35% in 2014! This is just one testament to the unwavering commitment made by Bordeaux winegrowers.

Contrary to the image of traditional single-crop farming, with a reluctance to change, we strive to anticipate, innovate and adapt collectively to preserve our resources and safeguard our ecosystems. Together, in this way, we face the many challenges of the future such as climate change.

Such is the path we have chosen to give back to nature what nature gives to us!
