Vignerons Associés is a Burgundy cooperative group bringing together Vignerons des Terres Secrètes and Cave des Hautes Côtes, with more than three generations of shared work. Representing 250 wine-growing families, it produces wines from Mâconnais and wider Burgundy terroirs under brands including Terres Secrètes and Nuiton-Beaunoy. Its collective approach emphasizes solidarity, shared resources, careful vineyard-to-bottle work, and respect for the environment. Sustainability initiatives include cover crops, reduced herbicide and phytosanitary use, photovoltaic energy, eco-designed packaging, and certified organic projects within the cooperative. Vignerons des Terres Secrètes has held the Vignerons en Développement Durable label since 2013, while Cave des Hautes Côtes is certified Vignerons Engagés. The group also supports local biodiversity, social initiatives, heritage preservation, and the transition of vineyards to new winegrowers.
