Didier Chaffardon 7 et 6 et Trange VDF Red 2024
Type: Red
Grape: Cabernet Franc, Grolleau
Region: Anjou, Loire Valley, France
Style: Still, whole-bunch, dry Flavor: Dark fruit, earthy, animal, firm tannins — powerful and uncompromising
The bottle: Whole-bunch fermentation in tank, indigenous yeast, no fining, no filtration, little to no sulfur. Low yields, hand-harvested, nothing added.
The producer: Didier Chaffardon is one of the founding figures of natural wine in Anjou. He farms just 3 hectares, names his wines like poems, and makes bottles that are unrepeatable by design. A true original.
