Wine Appreciation / Oenophiles

Thank you for the love @rive_gauche @sacredhart @Jingle_Jangle !

I got given two bottles of Berry Bros. Finest Reserve Port the other day.
It's bloody lovely.

Ah shit, I forgot we had a resident champagne man, just dropped a wedge on my wedding without engaging brain, bah :(

Next time...

Cancel order ;-)

You can still get half bottles from us for wedding treats.
Or magnums / jeroboams for the top table...

I can lend you a sword if you want to saber a couple of bottles.

Afraid the money's paid and booze set aside, we did at least choose a small producer. A sword may not be the best idea at my wedding, there'll be enough carnage without weapons.

I am proud to report that our grower Champagne has received two Decanter 2016 Awards.

Our Brut Classique Non-Vintage, 100% Pinot Meunier from 2008/2009/2010 harvests, low dosage, has received a Bronze Award:
87/100 Light, fresh elegance on the nose. The palate has a creamy foam and displays excellent structure, bolstered by rich Meunier fruit and good length on the finish.

Our Rosé Classique Non-Vintage, 100% Pinot Meunier, from 2009/2010/2011 harvests, low dosage, has received a Commended Award:
85/100 An appealing nose ripe red berries and roses. The palate is herbal and floral with notes of sour cherries.

Just thought I would bumpo this thread in case people wanted to order some Champagne.

The harvest is coming up - circa 23rd September and we will have an open day for those wishing to pay us a visit.

Cheers

Vince

Where is the open day?

The open day will be at the cellars:

Champagne Lasseaux & Fils
27 Route Du Paradis
51480 La Neuville Aux Larris
France

Open Day is on Sunday 25th September 2016

There is a posse from London's finest event catering company coming, so you better get the good stuff out.

Pm'd, damn and blast I can't get down for open day either w/e

thanks for delivery Vince, will put on ice for the weekend :)

@Vince Hey Vince. I wanna buy a decent bottle of champagne as a gift. Is there something in the £50-75 range from Lasseaux & Fils which is gonna trump the usual offerings from the big boys?

@Calben All our range is really good - we just don't have the marketing power of larger Champagne houses so can't sell bottles for as much.

None of our 75cl reach the £50 mark. Our magnums and larger formats do.

For a present, I would recommend either our:

• Vintage 2008 which is as good if not better than Krug/Mumm's equivalent at about 1/2 or 1/3 the price. 50% Chardonnay / 25% Pinot Noir / 25% Pinot Meunier
  
• Blanc de Blancs Vintage 2010, 100% Chardonnay, which is on par with larger brands like Roederer / Ruinart, again better value and also comes in a very nice branded wooden case.
  
  

If you send me an email to vincent@lasseaux.com, I will send you a trade price list.

Thanks for the interest!

Vince

Email sent :)

imho lasseaux as good if not better than big name houses

comparable to good ruinart vintage or good billecart salmon vintage

get a magnum!

what he said, absolutely amazing wine and @Vince is a top guy, hopefully you will get to see his new courier bike (I know I want to).

The new bike is a beast. It can take up to 120 bottles. Basically all you see on the photo attached, including a metre long, 15 litres Nebuchadnezzar!

It will be delivered with my next delivery so place your orders now so I can get the bike here ;-)

I'm looking to sell some wine. Some is in bond and some is in a residential cellar.

Any tips for where or how to sell?

None is in huge quantities. I sent a list to Berry Bros, but due to the quantities they couldn't help.

Any thoughts welcome.

Cheers.

Have you used bidforwine?

No, but I know people who have.

I am running a Champagne tasting session at Vinarius on Roman Road, East London at the end of November.

I will presenting our full range so it is a good opportunity to learn more about Champagne and try our complete range, including the (nearly sold out forever) Vintage 2008 and Blanc de Blancs 2010.

Good date night too - I will also be giving Champagne sabering lessons.
