5 Château Maris methods to reduce its carbon footprint

In November 2022, Languedoc’s Château Maris received the Robert Parker Green Emblem, one of only 40 wineries worldwide to earn the distinction for “efforts far beyond the requirements for organic and biodynamic certification.”

It’s no accident but a capstone to the winery’s “exceptional” sustainability efforts. In 2002, Château Maris co-owner and winemaker Robert Eden converted the estate to biodynamics, and in 2016, earned Europe’s first B Corp winery and vineyard certification. 

Equal parts visionary, maverick, and bawdy prankster, this British-born, snowy-bearded force of nature strives to reduce Château Maris’ carbon footprint in many ways.
