Château Roc de Calon is now certified organic ! A wonderful reward after three years of conversion and thirty years of sustainable viticulture in our vineyards.
Since 2022, we have embarked on an exciting journey: converting to organic farming.
Three years of work, observation, and adaptation were necessary (An estate)
Today, we are proud to announce that the 2025 vintage of Château Roc de Calon is officially organic certified.
This certification extends a long-standing commitment: we have always practiced sustainable viticulture, respecting the soil, the vines, and the environment.
“Organic farming became an obvious choice, a natural continuation of our commitments alongside Élodie, my wife and CEO of the Château, and the entire team,” says Thomas Laydis, owner of the estate.
Going organic is not just a trend.
It’s a way of rethinking our work, giving meaning to every gesture, and putting nature at the heart of our decisions.
The history of the estate is one of a deep connection to nature: before becoming a winemaker and planting the first vines, Théophile Marcelou was a nurseryman. This respect for life, passed down through generations and deeply rooted in the family’s DNA, continues to guide the way the vineyard is cared for.
Converting to organic viticulture has transformed our daily work: Less reliance on products, more time in the vineyards. This new rhythm has given more meaning to our work, bringing us closer to the land and to life itself.
“In thirty years at the Château, I’ve experienced every way of working the vines.
Switching to organic is the continuation of our commitments. It’s a story of trust with nature. We let it express itself. And when we see the vineyard regain its balance, we know we made the right choice.”
Denis, Winemaker at Château Roc de Calon.
This certification marks the start of a new chapter. The first organic vintage of Château Roc de Calon reflects our philosophy: authentic, alive, and respectful of nature.
Healthier soil, a truer wine, and the same passion, intact, for over a century 💜
