You may have seen the term ‘Grand Cru’ or ‘Premier Cru’ on Champagne bottles you have purchased. These terms refer to the status and location of the villages the grapes have come from which makes the wine.
Sustainable Viticulture Certification in Champagne is one of the hardest environmental credentials a producer in the region can earn — only 15% of the Champagne AOC holds it. It covers carbon footprint, water management, and biodiversity alongside farming practices, making it a more comprehensive standard than organic certification alone. André Tixier & Fils holds this certification, and this post explains what that means in practice.
