Environment
Cognac begins in the vineyard. In Triac-Lautrait, most of the eaux-de-vie blended into Cognac Léopold Croizet bottles come from Domaine de la Grande Versenne SCEA, an estate engaged in recognised environmental approaches.
Protecting soils, water, biodiversity and the balance of the landscape is not only an image statement. It helps preserve the quality of the eaux-de-vie and pass on a vineyard built to last.
Haute Valeur Environnementale is the third and highest level of French environmental certification for farms. It assesses the whole farm through biodiversity, plant-protection strategy, fertilisation and water management.
The public HVE directory on data.gouv.fr lists SCEA Domaine de la Grande Versenne in Triac-Lautrait, in viticulture, with certification dated 23 December 2024.
Certification Environnementale Cognac is a framework specific to the Charente vineyard. It supports more demanding practices for biodiversity, water, soils, vineyard protection and carbon efficiency.
Domaine de la Grande Versenne SCEA meets this CEC approach. The public links below present the official framework; for a named certificate required for a professional file, please contact the house.
