Our eco-responsible approach
What is HEV?
The key feature of High Environmental Value (HEV) certification - which was created in 2012 - is that it recognizes a global approach. It is the entire winery that is certified, not the products. A winery that preserves and makes use of the natural areas present in and around its plots.
HEV certification brings coherence between consumer expectations, winery practices and a preserved environment to which we give "value". It is a voluntary approach, accessible to all sectors, built around four themes:
1. biodiversity
2. phytosanitary strategy
3. fertilization management
4. water resource management
We are certified HVE level 3, which corresponds to the highest level.
Biodiversity protection
Over the last 50 years, agriculture has seriously undermined the ecological balance, and is now suffering the consequences. Preserving biodiversity has thus become a major concern. Like all agricultural activities, viticulture has an impact on landscapes, the quality of watercourses and the environment in general. In many ways, viticulture can contribute to restoring these balances, and in particular to preserving species.
A particularly topical issue is the protection of bees. Bees are important players in biodiversity! Their presence is not only essential to the national production of honey and other beekeeping products, but also to pollination, and thus to agriculture. That's why, at Vignobles Raguenot, we've set up beehives around the property. We collect a symbolic quantity of the honey they produce, but above all we are fighting against their disappearance.

Made in stainless steel vats, Vin'ature can be enjoyed in its youth, preserving its aromatic freshness and roundness.
