All about WineryLa Calmette

Maya Sallée tells us about their Winery : " Ever since Nicolas and I met, we had the dream of one day working our own vineyards. Although we both have degrees in agronomy and oenology, we started out working for other people, in almost every position. I was interested from the start in organic and biodynamicand our last jobs, in Alsace, allowed us to rub shoulders with great natural winegrowers and biodynamicswho have become role models and also friends. Vineyards in CahorsIn 2015, it was time for us to make this dream come true. We looked for vineyards in Cahors, on the causse, in the sector of the appellation where the wines were most to our taste. Fabien helped us, we did the 2015 harvest at his place in Trespoux, and we quickly found vines in the village. A winemakerwanted to retire, so he gave us his plots. First 1 hectare, in 2016, then his other 6 hectares the following year. |
La Calmette organic winesWe started the creation of a Wineryon this basis, acquiring a few tools (mainly manual), renting a cellar 15 minutes from the vines, and starting the conversion of the vines to organic, biodynamic, in short a beautiful agronomy capable of ripening beautiful grapes. In our village of Trespoux, we are lucky enough to work several very distinct terroirs. At the winery, our aim will be to express the singularity of these terroirs in parcel-based vintages, and also to help people discover the fine, juicy, elegant side of our Grape varietyand our appellation."
