Europe - Grapevine

The vine is one of the oldest recorded plants on earth. Remains of this rustic shrub recovered since prehistoric times explain why the vine is so intimately linked on a cultural, food and commercial level to many civilisations and still remains a powerful symbol of togetherness and sharing. Its fresh and delicate flowers blossom in June, hiding within them a wonderful promise of happiness: burgeoning grapes, the mythical fruit at the origin of wine, a drink long considered sacred, dedicated to gods and heroes.

To safeguard the production of this flower – essential for the wine industry – Clarins Laboratories have chosen an environmentally-friendly manufacturing process: cellular culture. The green biotechnology can reproduce a plant cell over and over to obtain the desired plant extract.
