Suggestion: Provide a way to book NV champagne by disgorgement date. Almost all of the NV grower champagne I am buying includes the disgorgement date on the label. Some CT users seem to be booking their NV bottles by vintage year as a workaround, but most users just book as NV bottles. Among those, some user reviews identify the disgorgement date for the bottle on which they are commenting, but most do not, with suggested drinking windows and reviews lumped together for all NV bottles. It would be much more useful and reliable to have suggested drinking dates and reviews for specific disgorgement dates.

Our best option is to use per bottle notes. Sorry. I realize this isn't ideal.

When I find them, I tend to smash the vintage dates = disgorgement into NV. The main reason is that using the vintage date that way gets really confused with NV-labelled, but single vintage Champagne. That usage, we grudgingly allow.
