{"title":"Domaine La Calmette","description":"\u003cp\u003eCalmette does all the things that natural wine producers do: biodynamic farming, indigenous yeasts, no sulfur during vinification, no fining and no filtration.

Calmette, like other natural wine producers in the area, have shifted focus to Cahors’ higher reaches, known as the plateau, where gravelly soils give way to limestone. It’s not just any limestone — it is limestone from the Kimmeridgian geologic era, the same special limestone that gives Chablis its distinct minerality. But unlike in Chablis, the soils above the Kimmerdgian bedrock are rich in red iron, throwing another terroir curve-ball into the mix!\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/sf.flatiron-wines.com\/collections\/domaine-la-calmette.oembed","provider":"Flatiron SF","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
