when/where/how?Louis Roederer brut is cheaper at DMs ($58/bottle)
good spot - less with $25 birthday voucherseppelt.com.au (cellardoor) is having a sale... salinger 2015 is $22.50, show sparkling 2008 is $85.
The clincher is that there seems to be 5.6% cashrewards + if you spend above $250 you get a six pack of coughpy sparkling thrown in.
Not sparkling but the 2018 St Peters is $56 a bottle.

Should be $40.45 at First Choice today for a single bottle with 25% Shopback (or is it 27%? Their cyber Monday promo popup says 27% and so does the icon for First Choice in their app but when you enter the deal it quotes 25%) and 2000 flybuys for $50 spend.
You have to change the store to get different pricing. I just looked for Burvale Vic and got $58.80 / $55.90 in any six.
They are probably just getting rid of old stock.

thanks - Louis Roederer Brut Premier $75 @ First Choice - $18.41 ShopBack - $16.20 price match refund ($58.80 @ Dan's) - 2000pts/$10 = $30.39 or $10.39 after also 4000pts/$20 via targeted Flypay first payment - ends todayI haven't seen it mentioned but there is a flybuys deal going on with flypay, hadn't heard of it before but looks to be a Coles group answer to PayPal? Either way if you haven't checked your flybuys account you may find an offer there, you get 4000 flybuys for signing up and making a transaction, I used mine then at First Choice for a bottle of Louis Roederer NV. Great overall deal with 4000 flybuys, 27% cashback and 10% off, will be interesting to see if it's all credited though as flypay stuck with a spinning wheel at payment, received an email from first choice so I guess something worked.
Oddly enough I picked up my bottle from last week's flypay purchase and today's bottle from the 27% cashback with 2000 flybuys from First Choice, although the website says Louis Roederer Brut Premier I now have two bottles of Collection 242! Guess my locals sold out of NV (maybe I bought them all?) and have been restocked with 242.thanks - Louis Roederer Brut Premier $75 @ First Choice - $18.41 ShopBack - $16.20 price match refund ($58.80 @ Dan's) - 2000pts/$10 = $30.39 or $10.39 after also 4000pts/$20 via targeted Flypay first payment - ends today

I'd like to compare them, I guess it'd technically be a vertical tasting, just need an event where I'd be opening two bottles... might be a job for Christmas! I'm hoping they're similar.I just collected my order from DMs and got 50/50 old and new.
I prefer 242, feels richer/toastier? I prefer the vintage concept anyway.I'd like to compare them, I guess it'd technically be a vertical tasting, just need an event where I'd be opening two bottles... might be a job for Christmas! I'm hoping they're similar.
I last bought this in gift boxes for 6x$40pb on the Sippery a while back, they bumped it up $3pb soon after that. It's one of the more consistent big volume NV. At a recent tasting I preferred the Pierre Bertrand 1er Cru NV from Vinimofo, $50 at that time.Not sure what NV PIPER-HEIDSIECK REIMS CUVEE BRUT normally sells for - or what it is like, but the Sippery have it for $258/6 before the $30 off $250 spend currently being offered ($38/b) and less again from any credits you may have in your account.

Lack of supply and higher demand.When did Perrier Jouet Belle Epoque become a $280 bottle? I bought a bottle in late April for $171 before cashback, some crazy price jumps recently.
Is the yield reduction climate related? Saw something interesting recently (YouTube video . think, maybe it was linked here?) about a lot of vines being planted in the UK as a future Champagne plan as both regions become warmer. Champagne will become less suited to growing grapes, instead they'll move to using the newer vines in the UK. Not sure what happens to the Champagne name once they can't grow the grapes there anymore!Lack of supply and higher demand.
Shipping delays certainly don't help.
They also reduced yield in the last year, so the supply issue in years to come is not going to get better.
Yes, looks like weather played a part:Is the yield reduction climate related?
