For the third cuvée of the Millesime competition, more than 30 actors from the wine, champagne, spirits, beer and cider sector tried their luck by submitting their project to the jury of professionals in the hope of being among the 6 finalists. A strong mobilization, which once again demonstrated the sector's commitment to the environment with trends that break the codes while meeting consumer expectations.
The public vote (representing 40% of the final score) ended up deciding between the finalist projects around a frantic race generating more than 3,000 votes : a record for this edition which confirms the growing mobilization of citizens and their desire to see companies act to reduce their impact on the environment. To continue to shed ever more light on the sector's eco-design projects, the two winners were offered a media visibility pack worth 10,000 euros.
The companies :
The Vignerons des Terres Secrètes and Nuiton-Beaunoy are grouped within the Union des Vignerons Associés des Monts de Bourgogne. The two cellars carry the values of cooperation: the concern of women and men invested in their work and the consideration of economic performance while preserving the environment.
The project :
A visit to a printing plant allowed employees to become aware of the waste generated by hot foil stamping. This observation led the teams to work to reduce the environmental impact of their wine production and packaging. A working group of 25 employees worked for more than 24 months on the various elements of the packaging (bottle, cap, label, carton, capsule) on the basis of the 5Rs: Refuse, Reduce, Repair, Recycle, Rot.
In February 2022, Cerço was launched: the cooperative's first range of organic conversion wines, eco-designed and collaborative.
