Clos des Plantes is an individually owned and run Loire Valley domaine led by Olivier Lejeune. A sought-after young natural-wine producer, it focuses on expressing terroir through low-intervention vinification. The vineyards include old vines rooted in black schist, while no organic or biodynamic certification is mentioned. Production is very limited. The range includes textural Chenin Blanc and a light red blend of Cabernet Franc with Chenin Blanc.
