Fundamentally organic, resolutely virtuous!
At Le Philtre, we are convinced that the future is being built now. Everyone has a role to play through their daily actions and consumption choices.
Because wanting to save the planet is a state of mind. We are taking action on a daily basis to reduce our carbon footprint by undertaking radical transformations. We do this by promoting joyful sobriety. We reject the idea of a punitive, repressive and moralising ecology. On the contrary, the energy transition will be easier under the prism of a happy and festive ecology.
This is what we have been proclaiming since the birth of Le Philtre: we are militants of responsible hedonism.
The product
UNCOMPROMISING ECO-CONCEPTION
Le Philtre is eco-responsible from the bottle to the cap: our manufacturing process contributes to the circular economy, while minimising energy and raw material consumption
- Our bottle is produced from 100% recycled glass waste.
The bottles thrown away in the sorting bins only make up 60% to 85% of the glass used to make new ones. Additional glass must therefore be produced. To do this, the industry uses sand, among other things.
So we found a solution to avoid using extra glass: recovering waste glass that would have been thrown away.
The manufacturing process of our bottle saves energy and above all does not use glass and therefore additional sand.
- The bottle cap is created from oak waste from sustainably managed forests.
- The label on the back of the bottle is made of bioplastic from recycled paper.
- Our transport box is made of single-flute cardboard, without coloured ink or varnish.
NOBLE AND SUSTAINABLE RAW MATERIALS
We rigorously select our ingredients such as certified organic winter wheat, Gensac water, reputed to be the purest in the Charente, and the choice of “no added sugar”.
ORGANIC AGRICULTURE CERTIFICATION
Our vodka is certified Organic in Europe by Ecocert, which guarantees :
- Environmental and climate protection
- Soil conservation and fertility
- Maintenance of biodiversity
- No use of synthetic chemicals
- Non-use of GMOs
BULK, A SMART FORMAT
We developed the bag in box (BIB) format with a capacity of 5L to supply bars, hotels and restaurants where the flow of Philtre is important. This format allows them to reduce their waste and stocks (no more accumulation of empty bottles) and to offer their customers more accessible prices.
A second life
We make consumers aware of the need to reuse our bottle with fun, practical, aesthetic and economical methods.

Maison Villevert
The advanced environmental vision of our producer and now exclusive distributor in France is in line with our values.
On the strength of these convictions, Maison Villevert is constantly improving its environmental practices and measures its performance, in particular by analysing its carbon footprint (by joining the Carbon Disclosure Project – CDP): over the last four years, a saving of almost 7,000 tonnes of CO2 has been made, representing a reduction of almost 30%.
Maison Villevert has initiated a process to reduce its consumption of water, electricity and paper. The waste (liquid products from distillation) is recovered in the form of energy and the dry materials are sorted on site and then recovered by a specialised company.
Each employee is also made aware of the impact of the company’s activities on the environment through training programmes.
The Maison Villevert site, dedicated to R&D, distillation and packaging, is a Classified Installation for the Environment (ICPE) involving the implementation of technical measures to prevent pollution and impact on local residents.
It has been ISO 22000 certified since 2020 and ISO 14001 since 2021, validating the Group’s commitments to environmental management and food safety.
Continuing this constant and sustainable approach to the environment, the site will be awarded the High Environmental Value label, a certification designed to recognise the environmental qualities and performance of buildings. In this context, Maison Villevert is currently building the first ‘carbon neutral’ building on this business park.
Finally, respect for biodiversity is also a key issue, which has led Maison Villevert to initiate a long-term programme of planting landscaped beds and melliferous hedges to feed foraging insects.

Support
Kynarou
At Le Philtre, we believe in environmental responsibility and collective action for a better world. That’s why we support Kynarou, an NGO working for equitable access to water for all, via the 1% For The Planet label.
Water is a fundamental right, essential to the life, health and well-being of every individual. Unfortunately, millions of people around the world still do not have access to clean, drinkable water. As a vodka brand that’s 60% freshwater, we’re determined to do our part.
By choosing Le Philtre, you are contributing to our commitment to preserving this vital resource. Your choice in favor of our brand is a gesture for the planet and a step towards a world where drinking water is accessible to all, wherever you are.
In our humble capacity as creators of a French vodka, eco-responsibility remains our main concern since the birth of the brand in 2020. The existing solutions are sometimes imperfect and we still have progress to make to be even more virtuous.
In any case, we are doing everything we can to achieve this and thus contribute to changing mentalities.
