I love Villemade, and you can't have him!

Opened, a half-hour ago, a 2006 Herv Villemade Cheverny "La Bodice."

Wow.

Wow.

Wow.

Wow.

Scroll down, y'all, because this is currently something you'll fall to your knees for.

If you like oxidative Loire sauv blanc/chard, that is. That tastes like Selosse.

I am asmile.
 
It appears that the venerable Chris Coad finds Villemade's Ct too "easy" (that is "Pivoine"), so who ever does know.

Mark, good and piquant point; though, interestingly, bodices were repressive elements of yore, whereas we now associate them with line-dancing late-19th-century Montmartre girls. La Goulue and company. But I have never denied a taste for blowsy wines, esp. when oxidative.
 
All I said was that it was "a kinder, gentler kind of ct than we're used to." Brad doesn't like too much acidity in his reds and he likes overt fruitiness, that one was right up his alley.

I'd try the whites happily, except you seem very possessive. I don't want to get involved in something I'm not ready for.
 
Ah, no, I am spreading the good word, and will gladly share; even will maybe be able to send some with such people as Bradley Kane, after his January trip (as he will have few wines weighing down his luggage, one supposes).

Blowsy and oxidative are now positive attributes!

Wow.

Blowsy has always been an at least an attribute affectionate in tone, even, if not especially, in its non-vinuous applications, except as used by the priggish.

Give me a vinous Nell Gwyn[n(e)] any day, Prof.

Did he spurn your advances?

I mean, if it were the playground and I was a captain and Sharon was a captain, and she picked Villemade first, I'd be psyched. Our team would whip her team's ass.

Ha! I have to figure out what wines to drink there so I can only manage to bring back two cases!

As usual, you're behind the times, Herr Cod. You forget I'm liking Lopez de Heredia, Morgon and some Burgundy these days.
