Capturing the Beauty of Spare Vines: A Vinography Showcase Chris Lehoux, July 25, 2026 The Savennières appellation, nestled within the Loire Valley, stands out due to its small size, encompassing roughly 350 hectares, yet only about 170 hectares are actively cultivated. This makes each vine precious, especially for the region’s famed Chenin Blanc. At Domaine du Closel, for instance, what might appear as decorative vines are, in fact, integral to the harvest each year. The commitment to quality and the meticulous care for each vine demonstrate the efforts to produce energetic and flavorful wines that characterize Savennières.
