We stand up for our values
In the vineyard
Long before the current ecological craze, my employees and I had an environmentally friendly approach. Nature is our work tool, which is why we are always committed to working with respect for the land, our vines and our spirits.
Here are some examples of our environmentally friendly practices. First of all, we treat our vines mainly with certified organic products. We also use less than the recommended dose. Moreover, we collect and stock our rainwater to reuse it on the farm. We can, for example, use it to clean our winemaking machines.
Taking care of the environment also means taking care of our employees by providing them all the necessary safety and work equipment.
Have you ever heard about genodics?
It is a science that studies the influence of music on living organisms. For several years, we have been using this science in our vineyard to strengthen, protect and enrich our vines via music boxes.
By doing this, we want to act on our grapes in an innovative and respectful way in order to guarantee you a quality and harmonious product.
HVE and CEC Certification
The HVE (High Environmental Value) and CEC (Cognac Environmental Certification) certification are two certifications supervised by the French public authorities based on strict specifications. To obtain these certifications, we must have reasoned agricultural (principles of agro-ecology) and human practices while taking into account the surrounding biodiversity.
These certifications guarantee that we are aware of our working methods and their impact on nature (and that we try to have as little impact on the environment as possible).
Made in France
You can find this eco-responsible commitment in the bottling of our Cognacs. We selected each item (corks, boxes…) according to these two conditions:
– French products manufactured locally to reduce CO2 emissions as much as possible by limiting trips.
– Recycled and/or natural materials to offer you bottles resulting from a virtuous approach.
The corks are made of wood and not plastic.
The bottles are made of glass and therefore infinitely recyclable. They come from the company Saver Glass (ISO 14 000 certified), which is itself very committed to sustainable development. The bottles are made in France and made with cullet.
The labels are made of paper and do not contain plastic. I chose a NACARA partner who works nearby, in my department.
The boxes are made of recyclable kraft paper, they are decorated in white in order to limit the use of inks and energy.
The packaging is made of kraft paper and is therefore recyclable. It is also decorated in white to limit the use of inks and energy.
To close our crates, we use a kraft adhesive that doesn’t contain plastic. It is made from recycled resources and remains recyclable.
The law decrees that the inviolability of our bottles must be guaranteed by shrink-wrapped plastic sleeves. For this purpose, we selected the simplest, thinnest and smallest model possible.
