Crowning several years of efforts to raise our standards in the area of corporate social responsibility (CSR), Gabriel Meffre was awarded level 4 Exemplary of the AFAQ ISO 26000 assessment back in September 2018. Proud of this achievement, we have designed a CSR sticker which will promote our CSR commitments on our bottles.
Massal selection is a technique that has been used and defended by Gabriel Meffre for a long time. What does it involve? What is the philosophy behind this choice? Addressing these questions also means considering clonal selection. We take a journey to the heart of the vineyards to fully understand these planting methods.
We will remember September 2018 for a long time to come! It was during this month that our winery earned ‘Level 4 – Exemplary’ certification, the highest rating given by the evaluation thereby marking an important milestone along our CSR journey. But don’t expect us to start kicking back. Buoyed by this latest nod of recognition, we will continue to stand as a point of reference for corporate social responsibility in our region.
May is the month when vine branches burst into growth, developing until flowering begins in June. To get the vines in the best possible condition, we rely on a few viticultural practices—suckering, disbudding and trellising. Explanations below!
Every year, over 10 billion corks are produced each year around the world. You might think of natural cork as a symbol of quality, the sign of a fine wine? In some cases, yes, but there are alternatives to the traditional cork that offer surprising benefits.
In this new year, our wish to help build a world that respects both mankind and the environment is as strong as ever. This can be seen through the number of our projects for 2018 that are closely related to our convictions as a Responsible Winery. We’re delighted to be given the opportunity to tell you about them!
