a) Presentation
The ‘Vignerons Engagés’ label was created by a collective of winegrowers. It is in fact the old label ‘Vignerons en Développement Durable’, which was created by the Institut Coopératif du Vin.
b) Main guidelines
For a Bordeaux Winery wishing to pursue this label, the 4 main pillars taken into account by this label are:
– ability to act for the environment
– ability to guarantee quality from vine to glass
– ability support the territory and the local heritage
– ability to set the right price for both the consumer and the producer
In more details, a Bordeaux Winery must respect the following 12 engagements:
1/ Save natural resources
2/ Protect Biodiversity
3/ Reduce the use of phytosanitary products
4/ Promote eco-design and reduce waste
5/ Fight against global warming
6/ Ensure traceability from the vine to the glass
7/ Produce healthy wines
8/ Develop direct and indirect jobs
9/ Invest in France and boost its local basin
10/ Develop the social and solidarity link
11/ Promote short circuits
12/ Remunerate producers fairly
