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.
