Advice on champagne

FC 30% ShopBack finally tracked this morning (less GST).

Got text saying my LPR order is out of stock (in QLD).
FC offered VC Ponsardin 2012 as replacement, seems fair.

Yeah mine tracked this morning for $24.55 though I used a 10% birthday discount First Choice sent me. Figures the one time I was planning on using free delivery it wasn't available, pickup only.

It looks like the Cheddar app has 20% off cashback uncapped through first choice.
They have sitewide 10% off as well.

Technically they stack, unsure if approve or First Choice will approve it but it would make Champagne pretty reasonable with discount.

Dom would be around $250

I’ve never seen any codes listed with Cheddar cashback, for FC at least. So would be a gamble.

Anyone thinking of getting the Charles Heidsieck Champagne Charlie at supposedly $900?
Up there for a NV, an aged one too

Those with the Amex First Choice offer - spend $100 get $10 back - can stack that with CR 15% off (no cap listed).

Veuve Clicquot vintage 2012 is available for $75 after discounts.

Edit: whoops, left the GST in - final price should be $76.36.

Amazing, thanks for the heads up

How does Laurent Perrier rose compare to the Billecart?
It's $100 atm at first choice, stack with cashback makes it $80.

 

[Tommo_Aus]

It's a good drop, tried it recently, only issue IIRC was finding a fizz saver that fits, I couldn't. I've tried a lot of rose's recently and this would be my favourite, Billecart has been sitting around for a year but I haven't made my way to it yet so unfortunately can't compare

With that said the Laurent Perrier is highly regarded as the general go-to premium rose before you go stupid prices.

The 25% CR cashback makes it $68.18 now.

You can also use this code CRFREEDEL for free delivery for purchase over $50

Amex offer ended yesterday. I liked it better when companies didn't pay attention to sequencing their offers...

I already used my Amex offer and couldn't find the expiry date - $68.18 is just CR cashback, no Amex.

Who pays for the upsized cashback - is it FC that covers the whole cost?

Didn't mind the LP, but wasn't particularly memorable - more on the sweeter side from memory?

I don't mind the LP vintage/millesime, but the rose isn't something we would ordinarily buy - we would typically go with the Billecart or Gosset. I heard Billecart was the highest selling rose champers by volume in Aus.

With that said at $80 worth a go I would think?

 

[AFAFA]

Just to close the loop. Cracked the first one last night and very impressed. Excellent value the price point.

Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

Thanks for the post tgh. Obviously a hit in your household. And with Amex offer and CR it makes the price super appealing. Would you classify it in the same group as most NV or is it a small step up from them ? Any flavour comparison to others??

Had a killer bottle of 2008 Pol Roger last week. Everything that is said about Pol Roger is very true, simply amazing.
