Hennessy Visits
By 2022, Maison Hennessy has experimented with new, more sustainable agricultural models and is working without herbicides on 100% of its vineyards. It is pursuing its “Forest Destination*” program, which aims to regenerate 50,000 hectares of forest by 2030, and has launched the “1000 Palisses” agroforestry program in the Charente region, which aims to plant 1,000 kilometers of hedgerows in 10 years. Hennessy is also reducing its carbon footprint at every stage of its operations.
