Understanding the Label Vignerons Engagés regarding French wines

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

c)     An example of a certified winery in Bordeaux
