English Our commitments
Ventadour remains faithful to its history and founding values. Respect for nature is a historic and non‑negotiable commitment. The pursuit of excellence drives us at every moment. And the refinement accorded to each detail requires the time needed to achieve flawless execution.
Respect
for nature
At Ventadour, we have made a clear and deliberate choice: we never use plastic. Our water is bottled exclusively in recycled or returnable glass, as well as fully recyclable aluminum cans. This approach is built on glass re‑use, the infinite recyclability of aluminum, and the development of short supply chains with optimized local routes, to durably reduce environmental impact.
This historic standard aligns with a responsible, measured production model: a naturally protected capture area, controlled extraction, and strict preservation of sensitive zones. At every step, we protect the balance of the environment from which the water is drawn.
Refusing plastic is a strong act, because plastic can alter water’s taste, raise health concerns, and place lasting pressure on ecosystems. Ventadour embraces this refusal and chooses a different path: a water without compromise, faithful to its origin. Through this commitment, we also hope to help evolve practices and encourage other producers to move away from plastic for good.
A commitment
to excellence
Our status as a natural mineral water comes with strict obligations and unwavering quality standards. This permanent rigor has shaped our history from day one. Our founders devoted five to six years of relentless effort to obtain operating authorization in 1868. Nearly two centuries later, our renewed authorization crowned three years of investment, analysis, and continuous improvement.
We act with passion and patience to support a responsible production model that creates local, non‑relocatable jobs. Our standards translate into strengthened quality controls and strict compliance with all applicable regulations. We move forward as people of Ardèche do: with humility, high standards, and perseverance, simply with the desire to do things well.
Refinement
in every detail
From the quality of our glass to the design of our cans and labels, every element, even the most discreet, is conceived and developed with meticulous care.
Our glass bottles are produced in France and their engravings honor the natural heritage of the Sources du Pestrin. With blue accents, the design of our labels and our sparkling‑water can celebrates the lively, natural spirit of the spring. Their design is intentionally pared back to use minimal ink. Ventadour’s historic lettering is preserved and elevated with silver and gold to underline the exceptional character of our still and sparkling waters. Finally, the back label is designed to make composition information highly legible, because clear, useful information is essential for consumers, for their well‑being and for their pleasure.
