Calmel and Joseph Villa Blanche Chardonnay (750ml)

Calmel and Joseph is a traditional Languedoc farmstead marked by history.  Evidence of vines cultivated on the estate dates back to the 16th century.  Today the domain produces wine and cultivates an array of other local crops.   It benefits from a privileged high altitude position and excellent soils of sandy clay and chalk with outcrops of limestone rock.  The entire estate is now farmed organically; they use no chemical inputs, whether it be pesticides, herbicides or fungicides, but only natural products in extremely low doses such as sulphur or tiny amounts of copper, and principally plant extracts and essences. The work consists of re-establishing life in the soils . There is no deep ploughing, but only surface raking. Soils analyses carried out each year determine the best course of action to obtain rich, living, balanced soils.
