Continuous innovation has been the speciality of the Union since its inception. And we work tirelessly to ensure that our presentation is in keeping with current consumer trends.
With the launch of new formats such as our 25cl bottle at the end of the nineties, the Bag-in-Box format or, more recently, 25cl cans, we have been, and remain, at the forefront of change.
For many years now we have sought continued improvement in our packaging. For example, by reducing the weight of our bottles, or using FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified paper and vegetable inks for our labels. For our bag-in-boxes, we work on long-term product development in concertation with our suppliers Every element, from the interior bag in plastic to the exterior carton, is scrutinized and adapted to reduce waste and make sorting and recycling easier for the end-user The elimination of the plastic carrying handle resulted in a reduction of 7 tons of plastic waste per year.
For this work Cellier des Dauphins was awarded first prize for Eco-Design at Millésime (a competition that rewards good practices in eco-design and responsible communication in the wine and spirits industry) in both 2020 and 2023.
