Envoyer is crushing it with Champagne these days

[Mason H]

Anyone had the Nathalie Falmet Brut?

[ky1em!ttskus]

Grabbed three blind. Attractive price for quality producer.

[Michael Klein]

interested as well if anyone has notes on this - the 30% solera inclusion is interesting though its only a 10 year old solera

[R. Frankel]

I've only had the 2010 Falmet Le Val Cornet and liked it a lot. Very good champagne for the price, my guess is that the NV is worth trying as well, especially at this price!

[ky1em!ttskus]

Also grabbed two of those mags. I’ve gotta slow down.

[ChrisM]

Anyone had the Nathalie Falmet Brut?

I bought a case of the NV Falmet last year. It was my house bubbly for holiday parties. Was great for the price, nothing overly special but good champagne. Would buy again but I like rotating house bubbles.

The Val Coronet is great, I buy what I can find of that, much better but twice the price.

[Chris Blum]

I’ve enjoyed Camille Saves rose, but has anybody had this? I’m in for a couple.

[Charlie Carnes]

They are the absolute bomb from Bouzey... Fantastic rosé!!! I think they are a little better than the Egly-Ouriet rosé.

[Chris Blum]

I agree about the rosé but just to be clear; this is the Cuvée Anaïs Jolicoeur.

[Frank Murray III]

I'll be glad when the Envoyer offer system is upgraded, too. I got nothing offered today so it's this thread that caused me to call Carina. Maybe it's my email provider, maybe it's Envoyer--who knows.

I've had the Anais Jolicoeur before and it didn't wow me. I passed on the offer. But, like Charlie, I do like the Saves NV Rose and have had many bottles of it over the past few years and it's been a favorite. Since then I have added Mousse, Marguet, Mouzon-Leroux and others to my Rose holdings so it's not as important to reload the Saves Rose (in which Chris is correct, as that was not offered today).

[Warren Taranow]

2014 Vilmart Grand Cellier d’Or. Opened a '98 just last night. Yes please.

[Mich@el Ch@ng]

Not from envoyer but crush posted mags of 09 Cristal at a decent price.

[Frank Murray III]

Boom.....dig the Marguet offer today. That one, it gonna hurt the tarjeta de credito.

[Josh Grossman]

Yeah, well worth it though. I was lucky to get my Les Crayères request. I can't imagine how 2014 could not be a great vintage?

[Russ Williams]

I asked for some Chouilly. Would have gone much bigger, but I’m in big time downsizing mode.

I think I've read you say this before about the 2014 vintage in Champagne broadly, and I don't really understand it. What about 2014 in Champagne makes you think it's some sort of great vintage? My impression is that it's solid, not great. Champagne is not Burgundy.

This is the kind of expertise that keeps me around these parts.

Feeling you, pal. Working my way towards rebalancing the cellar and i dig Benoit's wines. I didn't ask for everything as the range is close to a dozen wines now but Chouilly and the Ambonnay Rose, along with Ay are what i went after.

[Eric Sch]

Got a rare shutdown on the 14 Vilmart. Luckily I got some of the other bottles I asked for recently. Going to stop saying what however to avoid generating more demand.

Just about shipping time... ugh. The best of times and the worst of times. Need more space!

You've got yours - what's the worry?

I don’t think gcdo will be hard to find at 80 a pop

What does gcdo stand for?

I bit for a pair of the 2008 Paul Bara Special Club offered this morning. Wanted some Marguet but I know my wife is not a fan of no dosage Champagne. We've enjoyed Paul Bara together in the past, and 2008 is our wedding vintage. Rationalizing my purchase since 2019 budget is going fast and it's only April

Oh, and really enjoyed a bottle of 2013 Hebrart Special Club this past weekend at Republique. Offered a taste to our server who summed it up perfectly, "salty green apple". I thought it was a good price at $50/bottle from Envoyer

D'oh, thanks for clarifying Josh.

I think it's going to be good for blanc de blancs (especially from Montagne de Reims) but you're right; some of that is based on how much I love 2014 Chablis. Cool summers with high acid wines seem to be getting more rare in all of France. I haven't opened any 2014 Champagnes yet.

I was surprised to see the price jumped $20/btl since they offered it back in November.

Rescind the Paul Bara request and load up on '08 Doms instead

$20 increase? Remorse kicking in....

The Bara is better for 1/2 the price, IMO.

[Troy Stark]

Sorry, it was actually January (not trying to rub salt in the wound...)

Never been much of a Bara fan, but I can see the appeal.

[Neal.Mollen]

The rosé is killer

[Frank Murray III]

gawd, those Special Club bottles are a PITA for me to store. Aside from my Mousse wines that I do buy for SC, I just cannot store them so I pass.

NV Chartogne-Taillet and rose — in for 2x2

St Anne is the closest thing I have to a "house" champagne. Love it.

Ugh once again left out on the email!!!

[Frank Murray III]

Matt, just call and talk to Carina. It's never hard to reach them.

I just saw the offer. At $45, that is a pretty solid price for the Rose. Likely gonna ask for 3 as my Rose inventory is not yet where I need it.

Will do, is the rose $45 or $49? Thx!

[ky1em!ttskus]

$50 and $40 / 10% off three or more, mix and match.

Ah makes sense now, getting pair each, even better deal now.

[AndrewH]

Or email.

I had this problem as well. They added me to all lists, using a different email address.

So, now I get doubles of some email and singles of others. For sure I don't get doubles of all Champagne offers.

My suspicion is that the email program doesn't accurately follow user signups for less than all lists, or they aren't using it correctly (don't know how it works at their end - e.g., do they tick a box saying "send to all Champagne list").

Stopped by this afternoon since I needed to pick up a few arrivals. They don't exactly know why their systems don't blast their offers to everyone subscribed. They do have some personal mailing lists that they send one off. Saw sooooo many champagnes in the warehouse ready to be shipped. I probably only received a handful of those offers.

[Neal.Mollen]

Paul Bara rose in halves? Yes please.

[EHeffner]

Paul Bara rose in halves? Yes please.

The quality should remain the same, regardless of 750ml or 375ml, correct? Some recent notes on CT from halves have be questioning

I've never had the Bara rose in .375 format, but I've been buying the wine for 20 years or more and am not worried.

[ky1em!ttskus]

Evan, this is an open debate, I believe. But... like Neal, in for just a few halves.

‘16 Dagueneau Silex Mags $269 could be a special experience in 20 years.
