Champagne landscape transformation

Moët & Chandon has reached the halfway mark in its ambitious project to plant 100km of hedgerows across Champagne by 2027, aiming to restore biodiversity and combat climate change. Launched in 2021, the Natura Nostra initiative is transforming Champagne’s ecological landscape.
The Champagne house planted 35km of hedgerows back in 2021 and continues its efforts with 60 projects completed this year in Marne and Aube, including a 1km stretch in Côte des Blancs. These hedgerows create ecological corridors, linking biodiversity reservoirs such as the Saran Forest and Montagne de Reims Forest.

“This initiative restores balance to ecosystems, prevents soil erosion, and improves water retention” said a Moët representative.
The project highlights their commitment to organic viticulture, and the growing importance of sustainable practices in viticulture CEO Sibylle Scherer noted: “Preserving nature requires the collective effort of all stakeholders in the Champagne region.”
