DOMAINE CHANDON GREEN SHEET
Chandon is committed to sustainability in its vineyards and winery. As a result
of the stringent standards it adheres to, Chandon has had each of its estate
vineyards certified by Napa Green Certified Land and its winery certified by Napa
Green Certified Winery.
Chandon’s most prominent sustainability efforts include:
IN THE VINEYARDS
Conserving water. We monitor the water content in the soil and vines, allowing
parsimonious use of our precious water resources. Our vineyards are irrigated
almost entirely by reclaimed or collected water.
Enhancing the watershed. We use cover crops, terrace design and diversion
inlets that are engineered to prevent erosion and be compliant with our green
certifications.
Reducing or eliminating chemical use. We rely on owl boxes, cover crops and
insect detection to keep the ecology of the vineyards in balance.
Restoring wildlife habitat. We embellish waterways with native vegetation,
maintain wildlife corridors, preserve forested areas in the vineyard and employ
clean water protection to encourage fish habitat and spawning.
IN THE WINERY
Conserving water and energy. We use state-of-the-art equipment, including
an Electrodialysis, that saves enough energy per year to provide power for 55
homes.
Reducing waste. We have installed a custom piece of equipment for our bottling
line that separates the crown cap from the bidule, allowing us to recycle eight
tons of metal and three tons of plastic per year. With this new equipment we now
recycle all waste materials from production.
Reducing our carbon footprint. We have reached beyond the production area of
the winery to reduce waste, separating the corks, cages, and caps in our visitor
center for proper recycling.
