The other didier. 2011. 2 years in neutral. Fun wine with tons of personality. Bit of effervescence.

Chenin from Anjou Noir (schist soil) - fuller and broader with a touch of funk but underneath, very pure. Digging it.

Didier Chaffardon is one of the most inspired winemakers in anjou. A Chenin with no compromise, bright on its feet, the bitter vegetal of the rhubarb and all the wild herbs you want - mastered discreet oxidation
