This bottle of Quoi D?Neuf by Herv? Villemade, a primeur from the Loire, was a
real pleasure, a thirst wine that you sip without second thoughts and
restriction to the last drop : This Pinot Noir with a bit of Gamay is fruity,
gouleyant and fresh. This proves that even tasted several months after its
release, a Vin Nouveau can deliver. It arrived on the market on the third
thursday of november (2009) like the other Nouveau wines and was labelled as Vin
de Table, as the Appellation can be given only from december 15. The wine was
vinified on a base of Cheverny red, whole-clusters covered with CO2 in a
tronconic wooden vat. Usually Herv? Villemade makes the primeur with a majority
of Gamay but this vintage was so beautiful and plentiful regarding the Pinot
Noir that the blend was 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Gamay. This nearly-SO2-free and
unfiltered wine had a price tag of about 6 ? at Le Verre Vol? (the wine shop at
38 rue Oberkampf in Paris) and Villemade made only 2000 bottles of it, so hurry
up for the last bottles.... The label was designed by the Paris-based American
artist Mattew Rose, who works with collages like the surr?alistes. The man who
lives near the wine shop La Cave des Papilles is a regular of the wine shop
where he met once Herv? Villemade and had this label project started. This all
makes this small-batch cuvee even more desirable. Here is his Flickr Photo
stream with some of his Art.
