Our charter of commitments
We, the partner winegrowers of Vignobles Gabriel & Co collective, have written this
Charter of Commitment that unites us and guides our production of ethical wine.
OUR RIGHTS AS PARTNER WINEGROWERS
N°1 / EQUITY
Fair Pay
We are bound by a socially responsible and rewarding contract with automatic annual renewal. The remuneration system is transparent and built on three pillars: a guaranteed purchase price above production costs, quality bonuses awarded through blind tastings, and premiums recognizing organic, biodynamic, or no-added-sulfite practices. This provides reassurance in the face of sales constraints and allows us to focus on crafting the product while respecting natural balances, with a clear and confident vision of the future. To formalize this ethical and responsible commitment, our collective became, in 2020, the first French wine actor to be recognized and certified for fair trade by the Ecocert Fair For Life label.
N°2 / MUTUAL SUPPORT
Sharing Goods and Knowledge
Throughout the year, we benefit from personalized technical support, with guidance provided both in the vineyard and in the cellar. The collective fosters the sharing of know-how, feedback, and practical mutual support among peers. Each year, for example, some winegrowers join a working group focused on blending the new vintage, alongside oenologists and the collective’s technical manager. These discussions allow different perspectives to come together to define the cuvée profiles collaboratively. We move forward together, lend a helping hand, and grow as a group.
N°3 / IDENTITY
Respect for All Winegrowers and Terroirs
We move forward together without ever erasing individual identities, so each winegrower gains greater visibility. Joining the collective allows us to offer a clear, coherent, and distinctive range. This unity is our strength when dealing with distributors and gives us access to market opportunities that would be out of reach without the collective.
N°4 / COLLABORATION
Strength in Numbers
Being part of a movement allows us to present a range of identities all linked by common considerations and structures. This union makes us stronger in distribution and provides access to market opportunities unimaginable without the collective.
OUR RESPONSIBILITIES AS PARTNER WINEGROWERS
N°5 / Quality
Continuous Improvement in Action
The foundation of any lasting collaboration is trust — and there can be no trust without guarantees. That’s why we commit to mobilizing all necessary material, human, and technical resources to produce wines of the highest possible quality. Each year, our wines are blindtasted by an independent panel of diverse professionals. This evaluation serves as both a driver of progress and a catalyst for quality improvement: the score directly influences part of our remuneration through a transparent bonus/malus system.
N°6 / LOYALTY
Long-lasting Partnerships
Loyalty is a mutual choice: our contracts are automatically renewed each year to ensure consumers consistent quality and supply of the Vignobles Gabriel & Co wines they purchase. We commit to exclusive marketing of the contracted volumes.
N°7 / ENVIRONNEMENT
Protecting the Vineyards of Tomorrow
Environmentally responsible production is at the heart of the collective’s values. Today, more than two-thirds of the members are certified organic or in the process of conversion. Those practicing conventional agriculture are HVE3 certified (the highest level of certification). Complementary initiatives also exist within the collective, such as biodynamic wines and wines without added sulphites. Every step toward healthier viticulture is acknowledged and supported.
