Leading organic producer Domaine Bousquet has released its third Sustainability Impact Report. The winery is positioning the document as a practical ‘greenprint’ for the wider sector as it looks to promote the adoption of regenerative organic practices and foster an ‘ethos of transparency’.
Published on Earth Day (22 April), the report outlines the Mendoza-based winery’s environmental performance across 2025, alongside longer-term targets and ongoing challenges. It has been prepared in line with both the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), and reflects a growing push towards formalised sustainability roadmaps for global supply chains.
Chief executive and co-owner Anne Bousquet said the report is designed not only to track internal progress, but to encourage broader industry adoption.
“Our third report is one that demands scrutiny. We are sharing both our achievements as well as areas which have been particularly challenging… Ultimately, we are creating a ‘greenprint’ for the wider wine industry; we actively encourage competitors to adopt these initiatives where viable,” she said.
The report’s key focuses include packaging optimisation and water and carbon targets. Bottle weight reductions have continued across the portfolio, with average bottle weight falling from 408g in 2024 to 392g in 2025. Lighter formats are now used across lines up to Reserve level, representing 88.4% of production.
Water use also declined to 5.92 litres per litre of wine, with a target to cut this figure by more than 50% by 2030. Carbon intensity improved slightly to 1.83 kgCO2e per litre, despite increased processing volumes, as the business continues to meet targets set by the Race to Zero initiative.
In vineyards, biodiversity efforts identified 39 bird species, while more than 3,200 trees were planted. No pest outbreaks were recorded.
Alongside environmental targets, the producer underscores its aim to tie sustainability more closely to premium positioning. In 2025, the winery invested in a dedicated production space for high-end wines, with the objective of reinforcing quality credentials within the sustainable wine category – and using sustainability as a lever to encourage consumers to trade-up.
