Maison Lillet’s Commitments
Welcome to the committed world of Maison Lillet
Wines entering Lillet’s crafting process originate from the southwest of France. Lillet works with vineyards participating in certification schemes such as HVE and Terra Vitis.
1.High Environmental Value referential is based on indicators relating to biodiversity, phytosanitary strategy, fertilization and irrigation management.
2.Terra Vitis is a label ensuring good environmental, social and economical practices.
In November 2022, Lillet trained two of its major partnering vineyards on experimental vine-growing techniques.
Since 2018, Lillet has supported new vineyard plantings through 10-year vine planting contracts with local growers.
All oak vats are made in France and sourced from NFO-supervised forests (National Forestry Office). Stainless steel vats are also made in France from materials sourced from European countries.
Since 2021, all wines have been transported using bioethanol-fuelled tankers.
Following their use in infusions, the fruits are composted at a facility located within 10km of the production site
