The domain's short story
We have learned a lot from our parents and grandparents, but my wife Sandrine and I have decided to go even further, by valuing their know-how and the traditions passed on. We have strengthened our environmental approach with a broader concept of respect for the environment, in keeping with our personal convictions.1) Respect for the terroir : We produce our grapes and elaborate our champagnes without the use of synthetic products. In 2017, Champagne Legret & Fils obtained the French environmental certification TERRA VITIS. In 2018, we entered the first year of conversion to obtain the official BIO EU certification. 2) Respect for biodiversity and the ecosystem: It's not just the land, the vines that Champagne Legret & Fils is keen to protect. Indeed, all our vintages are certified vegan since 2016 and are controlled at the level of winemaking and packaging (paper, ink, glue, cork) But we go beyond that, because our packaging is also vegan and our viticulture is vegan. We use various treatments based on plants or minerals, as well as the effect of dynamization, we do not use any product of animal origin, nor animal labor, on all the chain of production. Organic does not mean vegan, and vegan does not mean organic... But, for us, one cannot go without the other, for the sake of consistency and transparency with our consumers. As an alternative to the clarification of wine by synthetic or animal products (e.g. gelatin, fish bladder, egg white, albumin), we proceed to a filtration of our wines with biodegradable and compostable cellulose filter plates. In February 2020, we started agroforestry, and today more than 300 trees and shrubs are planted in the heart of our vineyards. 3) Respect for human beings Champagne Legret & Fils wants to offer you healthy champagnes with a rich aroma that reflects the terroir, tradition and know-how. Our vintages are recognized for their exceptional quality and have won numerous medals in national and international competitions, thanks to the talent of our family and our employees. And it is for the well-being, health and safety at work of the entire Champagne Legret et Fils team that we are committed to a corporate social responsibility (CSR) approach.
