Vignobles de Larose are awarded AFNOR’s Corporate Social Responsibility Commitment certification at Exemplary level for the fifth time.

It is with immense pride, shared with our 62 employees, that we announce that we have been awarded AFNOR accreditation for Corporate Social Responsibility Commitment and Responsibility Europe at Exemplary level, with a ranking that places us in the top three wine estates in France. 

This CSR evaluation at the highest level reflects our desire to obtain a measured and objective exterior perspective on the maturity of our undertaking.

It is not just a vain promise. Our commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals is a concrete one, and our actions are binding and measurable. We answer to the Sustainable Development Observatory online in accordance with international standard ISO 26000 

CSR Commitment is a solid and recognised label that gives credibility to and strengthens our CSR strategy since it is:

– an individual, on-site evaluation,

– conducted by a qualified expert assessor,

– based on publicly accessible benchmark data,

– associated with the voluntary international standard ISO 26000 which evaluates both business practices and results in relation to CSR.

As pioneers of Corporate Social Responsibility, Vignobles de Larose have already been submitting their CSR strategy for evaluation for 14 years. Our 2022 evaluation in brief:

– 4 châteaux and 3 production sites evaluated,

– 5 days on site,

– our 6th evaluation and the 5^th for which we have obtained Exemplary level,

– 13 external stakeholders consulted: clients, suppliers, social inclusion agencies, viticultural service providers, associations, and the president of our board of directors  Etienne Pelce,

– all our managers and staff who were able to relate their daily experience in the workplace and offer concrete examples of the application of our CSR policies at all levels of the business.

This high level of exemplarity is our reward as we strive constantly to continue making progress on sustainable development issues. Our clients can count on us to meet the level of compliance demanded by their own commitments, and we ask the same of our suppliers.

Vignobles de Larose, give meaning to your emotions

THE 2022 VINTAGE

Our harvest finally came to a close on 5 October, after over two weeks of intense labour.  It will remain in our memories for one simple reason… it was the earliest harvest we have ever known at Vignobles de Larose.

The previous record of 17 September for the beginning of the harvest (in 2011!) has now been broken with the picking of the first Merlots at Chateau Arnauld on 14 September 2022.

Should we be pleased? To be honest, it’s not an easy question to answer. On the one hand we are seeing grapes of exceptional maturity with amazing sugar/acidity balances, but on the other hand we are aware that we must continue to adapt our vineyard and our practices to this very real phenomenon of climate change in order to guarantee its future.

In 2022 our vines didn’t really suffer from hydric stress in spite of over 3 months of drought, thanks to the work and decisions of all the technical teams.

The grapes are plump, the first juices have a richness that we have never seen before, and the first vats post fermentation are extraordinary.

Let’s not be afraid to talk of the vintage of the century, because it is certainly not far away.

Organic Agriculture

PRESS RELEASE

Vignobles de Larose has over many years developed a Responsible Vineyards© strategy that places sustainable development (CSR)at the core of its viticultural and winemaking activities.

It is now over 15 years since Vignobles de Larose, as a true pioneer, first adopted this CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) strategy, and as a result has now accumulated nationally and internationally recognized expertise

in the field.

With our strong commitment to environmental and societal concerns, we champion a global vision that supports the fight against climate change, the promotion of biodiversity and the protection of our soils, our neighbours, our

staff, and our partners.

Within the framework of this strategy, and following several years of trials, Vignobles de Larose has decided to engage in the process of conversion to Organic Agriculture.

This concerns the whole of the 255 hectares that make up Vignobles de Larose and will be achieved over a period of five years. Château Arnauld and Château Larose Perganson, respectively Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel and Supérieur

in AOC Haut-Médoc, and Château Tour de Pez, Cru Bourgeois in AOC Saint Estèphe, will be the first to embark on the process which will result in them gaining organic status in 2025. Château Larose Trintaudon, Cru

Bourgeois Supérieur, will achieve organic certification in 2026.

We are convinced that the complexity of the issues involved in sustainable viticulture demands a multi-dimensional approach. And that is why we are pursuing our Responsible Vineyards© strategy in a spirit of open mindedness and

critical analysis, and by embracing all solutions that are pertinent and beneficial.

The 8th salon des outsiders by Jean Marc Quarin

19, 20 and 21 November 2020

“An Outsider is a wine that punches above its weight.”
J.M. Quarin, independent critic of Bordeaux wines
Right Bank or Left Bank?

The order of visit shows the wines off to best advantage by presenting them as a connoisseur would if they were being served at home, taking care to ensure that no wine overpowers another. The wines selected are of such great quality that everyone can happily declare their own personal preference between the two banks.
