At Domaine de Tamary, sustainability is among our top priorities. Our objective is to implement eco-responsible practices, by adopting sustainable vine-growing methods and farming practices that respect people and the land. Qualifying for High Environmental Value (HVE) is therefore a top priority for Domaine de Tamary.
Our production follows the principles of La Lutte Raisonnée (integrated crop management), which prohibits the use of herbicides and advocates soil ploughing. One of our vine plots is reserved for trials, and in another we don’t spray, so nature can do as it pleases. We have fun trialling new things and testing how far we can go. Waste water and phyto-sanitary cleaning water are recovered and treated via the use of different reservoirs. Retention containers filled with mud are collected and taken to an approved centre which looks after dehydrating it.
At Domaine de Tamary, the team works in harmony with nature. It doesn’t force nature; it works with it, taking into account the natural cycle of the seasons and respecting the balance of each plant in its environment. For example, in order to combat vine pests, Domaine de Tamary has introduced bats’ nests, our best natural ally against predators. This way of working favours life and the long-term future of our eco-system.
There is the health of the vines to look after on the one hand, and of course that of human beings on the other; including those working at our estate. At Tamary, special care and attention is dedicated to maintaining both good health and good spirit in our teams.
