you'd better hurry - after @Cruiser Elite and @Daver6 there's only one left listed - same Cuvée 163 as United Cellars - remember to not use any gift cards

An interesting read! Lanson does quite well in the rankings. Their Gold Label is actually a nice drop, and very competitively priced (good value).

Worth keeping an eye on BWS clearances, one of the stores in my area has had this on clearance for 3 months - not sure on the vintage.

There hasn’t been a 25% off for a few months.

Can you buy clearance items and have them shipped?

don't forget Tyson's guide - Lanson Gold Label is good, but Extra Age is better in both quality/complexity and value - only a few clearance dollars more

BWS clearance wines and prices are store specific and vary between them

Thanks! I saw the Extra Age was #21 on the top 100 list. Haven't tried it before.

Clouet is another personal favourite. If you have the chance, try the “Tiffany blue” label. Gorgeous.

• Andre Clouet Grande Reserve $58.55 @ France-Soir (price-match @ PWS)
• Jacquesson Cuvee 741 $85 @ City Wine Shop (price-beat @ Dan's)
