2025 · Le Petit Salvard

Family-owned since 1896, Domaine du Salvard is based in Cheverny and is now run by the fifth generation, Emmanuel and Thierry Delaille. The estate farms 45 hectares across 24 communes south of the Loire, with vineyards planted to Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Gamay on clay-with-flint and siliceous, sandy soils. Its approach combines intergenerational know-how with responsible vineyard management and a modern cellar designed to support precise vinification. The domaine is certified Haute Valeur Environnementale Level 3 (HVE3).
