Environmental certifications and labels

Environmental certifications and labels

In 2024, over 75% of the Bordeaux area under vine was certified by an environmental initiative (compared to 35% in 2014). Our objective? Commit 100% of our vineyards by 2030!

In Bordeaux, the leading PDO vineyard in France, change is under way! Our winegrowers, negociants and cooperative cellars have long been committed to sustainable development. They all share the same goal to reduce their environmental footprint and preserve biodiversity, while continuing to produce high-quality wines.

In view of this, environmental standards, certifications and labels are important keys to success: they officially recognize the various measures put in place to protect nature.
