No More Nouveau event

One of the best Loire gamays I have ever tasted was a nouveau from Thierry Puzelat. It was precise, focused and tasted like wine most importantly. I always find the hate against Beaujoulais nouveau misplaced...good producers make good nouveaus.

My hate for Nouveau is strictly focused upon how its popularity here in the states has dragged down the name of the entire region.
Basically all directed at DeBoeuf, I guess.

I've never tasted a Nouveau from some of my favorite producers, and have certainly never had one that I found compelling from the other guys.

Does Chermette make it to CA? I guess Puzelat doesn't either.

This tasting is an attempt to get the plateau to think differently about the region .......

cory posted that... But nouveaux tasted from breton,foillard and so on where great... i think one of puzelat's nouveau makes it to the states.
 
Lapierre's Nouveau, which at least 2-3 years ago all went to one client in Japan, is made from the vineyard next door to his operations...it's basically Morgon Nouveau. I'm sure it would be fun.
