[LANSON COMMITMENT] In addition to owning a sixteen-hectare vineyard that is farmed biodynamically, Maison Lanson is committed to sustainable viticulture both for its own vineyard and for its supplies by supporting its partner growers in their transition towards certified viticulture through the founding of the first collective structure by a Champagne house, in 2018. In accordance with the requirements defined by the Comité Champagne and the Ministry of Agriculture, which certify the Viticulture Durable en Champagne (Sustainable Viticulture in Champagne – VDC) and Haute Valeur Environnementale (High Environmental Value – HVE) labels, Maison Lanson is forging a path of support based on exchange, sharing and the commitment of each person towards virtuous practices that are mindful of biodiversity and societal and environmental standards. Since 2021, Maison Lanson is a leading light in its commitment to CSR, with key actions in the environmental, social and economic fields, all reflected in a clear vision entitled “Terroirs, People, Wines”. More recently, Maison Lanson joined IWCA - International Wineries for Climate Action, a joint international programme featuring some forty estates in nine countries, the aim of which is to reduce the carbon footprint of the wine industry by sharing best practices and drawing up an international action plan. Maison Lanson is one of the first French estates and the first Champagne house to be part of the program, thereby becoming a leader in sustainable development. This commitment led it to conduct a carbon footprint calculation in 2022 and implement a low-carbon strategy from 2023. 📸 Nicolas DEMOULIN Enjoy Lanson with moderation. #ChampagneLanson #BlackCréation #LansonCraft #Lanson #Champagne #FreshTouch

NZ wine was represented in Montreal at a two-day conference on climate change and the challenges for viticulture. Interesting takeouts for me include: ✨ ‘25% of emissions come from exporting and 75% from production’ said Meagan Littlejohn (SWNZ- Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand) New Zealand wines represent an environmentally sound choice despite the distance they often travel, low production emissions more than compensate for those from transportation. ✨ Agriculture, which includes viticulture, has the potential to sequester 41% of its carbon emissions through proper soil management. ✨Carbon sequestration is one of the main goals of regenerative agriculture, a trending topic in the world of wine ✨ Improve soil, increase biodiversity and restore ecosystems. ‘It is the only system we found that isn’t necessarily more expensive than conventional farming’ said Michel Gassier from Famille Gassier ✨ Joseph Brinkley from Bonterra Organic Estates, the largest Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC) winery in the US said ‘the strength of ROC is the social aspect,’, it includes a strict audit of how employees are treated including an essential living wage’ ✨ Regional certifications were recognised as having the most significant potential to accelerate change with SWNZ admired by industry peers as the ‘gold standard’. Coming from a place of continual improvement - NZ Ethical Employers looks forward to working with SWNZ to strengthen the people side of the voluntary standard. Leading wine in this space, is Indevin Group and also Pernod Ricard Winemakers , Cloudy Bay Vineyards, Delegat Limited who understand the need and challenge to offer worker protections to those most at risk in their supply chain, making wine that is truly sustainable. #People #Wine

I recently came across an enlightening video about an innovative approach to our final journey - bio coffins. These eco-friendly coffins are designed to decompose naturally, enriching the soil rather than polluting it. This revolutionary idea is changing how we think about cemeteries, turning them into forests of memory rather than lands of waste. Let's ponder this: How could bio coffins transform our approach to honoring loved ones while protecting our planet? Could this be the start of a more sustainable cycle of life and death? Watch, reflect, and join the conversation. Let's explore how we can make a lasting positive impact, even in our final act. #EcoFriendlyFarewell #SustainableChoices #BioCoffins 🌱💚
