what specialist importers? so you would rather reinforce the Colesworth duopoly than support cheaper better independents, who are the price leaders that the former follows?

Louis Roederer Collection 242 Brut Champagne
The style of Collection 242 is dominated by the Chardonnay varietal which was of exceptional quality in the 2017 vintage. The perfectly ripe Chardonnays lend the wine its aromas of ripe, sweet fruit complemented by subtle oaky notes. The palate is rich and ripe with a luxurious texture that...

No, but in this case they don't look cheaper to me. I usually shop cashrewards, shop back, flybuys, etc, if an independent is cheaper or the same price then sure I'll go there but I'd usually be getting Roederer far under $80.
With it being a new release we may not see some discounting for a bit but for me Mitcham is far out of the way. The others I'd need to pay interstate shipping, international shipping or I haven't heard of before and are even more expensive.
of course the big boys will always beat the cheapest independents when there's 20% cashback, but until next Monday, The Wine Emporium will have the lowest single price of $73 - however if you're happy to buy 3, then from Emperor Champagne via Vivino, it'll be $70.20 delivered after 20% off with VIVINO20 and 5.6% Cashrewards

New Roederer Collection 242!Boozebud has CR cashback of 30% with a $30 cap, expires at 11.59pm tonight.
New users can stack it with "CASHREWARDS25" - Take $25 off when you spend over $150
Veuve Clicquot NV $74.99 and Laurent Perrier La Cuvee $75.99 + delivery $6.89 gives $157.87 less $55 = $102.87 for two bottles.
I doubt we'd see many discounts until say Black Friday, so it might not get much better than this.
Thoughts?

Jeez, yet another thread about something I'm partial to.
Champagne us a strange beast. I don't like Chardonnay. I generally avoid 'blanc de blanc' (ie Chardonnay) champagne. I definitely prefer Pinot Noir, as the 2nd most used grape in champagne.
For anyone who find the acidity in champagnes difficult to swallow, go for one with Pinot Meunier (sp?), the 3rd and least popular grape in champagnes. It offers a decidedly musty flavour in my experience, but works well in moderation.
After touring Champagne, I pooh-poohed Mercier because it is he most common champagne in French supermarkets. Recently I had occasion to try it, and i found it wonderful, especially for the price, typically one of the cheapest champagnes. I discovered that they do use Pinot Meunier in their standard blend. Perhaps there is a good reason that it's the most popular champagne in French supermarkets.

I like it for a mid range tipple. On the yeasty side. Great price, I would certainly buy if I could at that price.
Great, used to improve a lot in the cellar.

Yeah, I made an error. It's $26.A reliable staple, certainly.
At $30, I would be ordering a pallet.
I only have access to 10 bottles.
