Moët & Chandon has inaugurated "Essentia", a conservatory of grape varieties

This conservatory of 4 hectares includes 16000 vines coming from 2000 different varieties. Some have disease resistance or late ripening characteristics that could be relevant to face climate change and will be preserved for scientific study to provide technical solutions for adapting our viticultural practices so that tomorrow we may pass on the very best to future generations.

Initiatives to preserve biodiversity

Additional initiatives to preserve biodiversity have already been implemented in Mont Aigu:
• The installation of green roofs, providing additional habitats for various plant and animal species.
• The implementation of differentiated management of green spaces, with eco-grazing and the planting of a kilometer of hedge between the site and the research center, allowing species to move.
