In 2014, we were awarded level 3 High Environmental Value certification, recognising our good environmental and health practices on a daily basis.

The third-level certification attests to compliance, for the entire farm, with environmental performance thresholds relating to biodiversity, phytosanitary strategy, fertilisation and water resource management. This is an obligation to achieve results.

The use of the HVE3 label is regulated and questioned every year. Under pressure from consumers, obtaining the label has become more demanding, and we are proud to be able to display it once again.

For a long time, when we talked about our estate, we only mentioned the plots of vines.

But we also cherished the 150 hectares of woodland, marshland and meadows surrounding our vines. And today we are even more aware that the vines are part of an ecosystem that plays a vital role in their development. In fact, we have created or recreated hedges that act as bridges or stages for fauna and flora between the uncultivated areas surrounding the vines. We plant seedlings adapted to each parcel of vines, to boost soil vitality and combat water stress and global warming.

Depending on the context, plots of land that have been grubbed up can be planted with melliferous flowering fallows or mixed species orchards. We will be planting fruit trees in all the open spaces close to our vineyard plots, and will be considering more dynamic management of our woodlands. The aim is to strengthen all the existing ecological corridors.

Our natural and human ecosystems are our intangible heritage. Our aim is to protect and enhance them, so that we can leave future generations an estate that is well adapted to future climate challenges.
