Sustainable viticulture

This awareness is reflected in the ever-increasing number of wineries that are committed to environmentally-friendly practices. Several initiatives exist to support this evolution, such asOrganic Agriculture, HVE (Haute Valeur Environnementale) certification, Terra Vitis, Vignerons Engagés, Demeter and Biodyvin. Associations such as the BIVB are working for better, more sustainable, better-known wines.
