Ecology of The Domaine de CaletThe def ini t ion of Ecology is the study of the environment and the relat ions between
liv ing organisms.
For us, ecology can be descr ibed in one word - respect. Without want ing to def ine all
of the scient i f ic aspects of our ecosystem, We feel that i t is essent ial for us to live in
harmony within i ts natural elements, be i t land or marine, but also to live harmoniously
with the men and women who share our daily
l ives. The environmental issues of humanit y
need commitment from each and everyone
of us. We must lead by example.
Since the purchase of the Domaine in 1999,
we have worked cont inuously to recuperate the
balance between liv ing beings exist ing in their
natural habitat and non liv ing elements such
as the soil, water and atmosphere. The arable
lands were t ired, impover ished and saturated
by the chemical phy tosanitar y products that
had been used for decades by modern farm-
ing. We wanted to create a natural environment
by eliminat ing all harmfull products such as
insect icides, pest icides and weed kil lers.
To improve the biodiversit y, we planted nat ive mediterranean hedges creat ing recesses
for local wildli fe to breed and also protect ing from soil erosion. This also improves the
landscaping of our surroundings. We are actually par t icipat ing in a study to evaluate the
inf luence of the landscape on the biodiversit y of ar thropods. This study is integrated in
an European project called Life+BioDiVine.
For us, ecology can be described in one word - respect.
19
The liv ing environment is impor tant
for the well being of all of us at the
Domaine de Calet. I ts the moral
responsabil i t y of everyone of us to
ensure the natural balance of nature
presides. We repeat, respect, is
the pr imary condit ion that gives a
sense of responsabil i t y and desire to
fellow collaborators. This complici t y
permits us to produce balanced and
enchant ing wines.
The wines from the Domaine de Calet
are, evident ly, well balanced and
harmonious, but also wholesome.
It is our responsabil i t y to make sure
our wines are safe and do not
harm others.
Str ict sanitat ion and the almost total absence of
sulfates throughout the wine processing garantees
natural wines.
We hope in the near future, to be able to eliminate all
addit ives in the wine making process - from the farm-
ing of the vines, to the product ion in the winery. We
have worked towards this goal for the past few years.
To enable our object ives to become reali t y, we are
developping vines resil iant to cer tain fungal diseases.
The aim is to eliminate all v ine t reatments, even those
author ised in organic farming.
