Chave - High Quality Winemaking
|
October 20, 2009
|
“A bastion of traditionalism and terroir-sensitive winemaking, the Chaves, both father Gerard and son Jean-Louis, continue to establish higher and higher standards for artisanal, high quality winemaking without manipulation or compromise. As I have said many times in the past, after more than two dozen visits to their cellars in Mauves, the Chave address remains one of the most extraordinary places of learning in the wine world. Most importantly, they have had a remarkable succession of successful vintages that began in 1994.” - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
Please note that the suggested bid price is based on what Vinfolio would charge for this wine if we were selling it in our online wine store. This is merely a recommended price on which to base your bid; it does not guarantee that your bid will be accepted. You are not required to submit this as your bid price, though we do recommend you read the “Tips on placing a successful bid” located on the right side of this email.

Tips on placing a successful bid:
 |
 |
Research current retail and auction price data at www.wineprices.com to determine a fair and realistic bid price. |
|
Consider that the seller is charged a 15% to 20% commission, as well as shipping (if the wine is not in Vinfolio storage). |
|
Note the location from which you'd like your wine to be sourced. Wine in Vinfolio storage can usually be fulfilled more quickly upon bid acceptance. |
|
Make sure the quantity you are bidding on is actually available in the Marketplace. |
|
Remember, sellers are not obligated to sell their wine, but placing a fair and realistic bid will improve your chances of success. |

What is the Marketplace?
|
|
The Vinfolio Marketplace is the world's largest online fine wine source managed by Vinfolio. |
|
Over 40,000 wines available - learn how to find the wines you want. |
|
Private sellers mark their wines for sale in VinCellar, Vinfolio's free online cellar management application, and can set an “asking price” and enable auto-accept of bids to ensure faster transactions (if wine is in Vinfolio storage). |
|
No advance physical transfer of wine is required prior to marking wine for sale. |
|
Wine sold from Vinfolio storage incurs a 15% seller's commission vs. 20% from other locations. |
|
Buyers place bids on wines and there is no buyer's premium. |
|
Vinfolio is the intermediary and all wines must pass our stringent inspection guidelines. |
|
After a bid is accepted, fulfillment averages about a week for wines in Vinfolio storage and 3-4 weeks for wines stored offsite. |
