commitments
Time and nature are two essential ingredients in the creation of great Champagne wines.
Our vineyard
The Joseph Perrier vineyard covers 24 hectares ideally situated on a hillside in the heart of the Champagne region. With respect for this family terroir, we carefully harvest our grapes by hand. This technique enables us to extract the highest-quality grapes needed to make our precious Champagne wines.
Committed to biodiversity, Patrick, our vineyard manager, has been using integrated viticulture for many years. Since March 2021, our vineyards have been certified Viticulture Durable en Champagne and Haute Valeur Environnementale 3. Beyond these labels, it's a culture of humility, a passionate state of mind and a respectful attentiveness to nature that are ingrained within the house and the vision of the men and women who work here.
ORGANIC VITICULTURE
Our Verneuil vines are organically grown and grassed.
CERTIFICATIONS
Our HVE 3 and VDC certifications underline our commitment to and expertise in sustainable vine-growing.
Biodiversity
at the heart of our decisions
We have always worked with respect for nature. We are committed to letting nature express itself at its own pace. We preserve nature by limiting our interventions, gestures and actions. The vine represents a fragile ecosystem where small fauna and flora live in symbiosis.
To preserve and maintain this balance, we have replanted hedges and rose bushes around our vineyards to protect them from disease and encourage biodiversity. Finally, on our family site, above our cellars is an arboretum that naturally regulates the cellar temperature. Little by little, we've set up beehives here, from which we collect honey annually.
HEDGES
Hedges have been planted around our vines to encourage biodiversity in their environment.
ROSIERES
Roses are also planted alongside our vines to protect them from disease.
Logs
Housed above our cellars in the arboretum, our bees produce honey all year round and contribute to the biodiversity of the environment.
Our production
manager
We are committed to promoting a local economy. We are committed to working with local, environmentally-friendly companies to promote French craftsmanship.
For example, we recently worked with Tonnellerie de Champagne, an Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant, to design our Réserve Héritage box. Our card and key-ring holders are made in collaboration with Maison Laffargue, Entreprise Familiale Centenaire.
We are also committed to the circular economy. In fact, 90% of our industrial waste is treated and recovered through systematic bottle recycling, and for a lucky few, a second life begins as candles.
Ultimately, by 2025, we'd like to bring all our advertising product production back to Europe, 50% of it in France, in order to enhance the value of our national know-how.
