For every bottle we buy, a tree is planted. On each bottle a unique code tells you what tree
was planted where and a little about the planting project. From fruit trees in London to
Oak trees in Bristol, it's the local communities who benefit from our planting projects.
One tree can absorb up to 1.5 tonnes of carbon in its lifetime. Making a bottle of vodka
emits about 2.5kg of carbon. You could say each bottle of Sapling pays back over 535 times.
Come with us on our journey to plant 1,000,000 trees by 2027. This is backed up by a
commitment by us to donate 5% or more of our annual revenue towards tree planting
projects.
Barbe Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin was born in 1777, the daughter of a textile manufacturer
in Reims, Champagne. Widowed at the age of only 27, she took control of her own destiny
and became one of the first modern entrepreneurs. In an era when women were excluded
from the business world, she dared to assume the head of the company founded by her
father-in-law in 1772, a role she undertook with passion and determination.
Her creativity and lust for innovation led to many firsts in Champagne: the first known
vintage champagne; the invention of the riddling table; the first known blended rosé
champagne. Three inventions that revolutionised champagne making and were widely
adopted by producers, becoming the basis of modern champagne production.Madame
Clicquot made her name into a brand of excellence and had it shine the world over. Her
formidable contributions earned her the nickname of "la grande dame of Champagne".
