Jacquesson Cuvée No. 744 Magnum (1.5 Litre)Default Title

Radically reconceptualising the idea of non-vintage champagne, the Chiquet brothers’ 700 series champagnes are best enjoyed and treated as vintage cuvées. Based on the 2016 harvest, Cuvée No. 744 is composed of 55% Pinot noir and Meunier (from Aÿ, Dizy and Hautvillers in the Vallée de la Marne)...

Champagne Larmandier-Bernier Latitude Blanc de Blancs NVDefault Title

This is 2017 base with between 35 and 40% reserve wines going back to 2004. Like the Latitude, this is 100% Côte des Blancs Chardonnay, yet the vineyards from which it was drawn have thinner topsoils and so the vine roots plunge straight into the chalky bedrock. The name here refers to the...

Egly-Ouriet Grand Cru Millésime 2013

The Wine This is again 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay from 40-year-old vines in Ambonnay. The wine was aged completely in barrel and there was only two grams per litre dosage. It is a seductive, layered, yet powerful expression of Ambonnay and, with the Blanc de Noirs, it represents one of...

Egly Ouriet Millésime 2013.

I imagine most champagne drinkers will know, that William Kelley, the wine advocate critic has awarded the Millésime 2013 from Egly Ouriet 100 points. This occurred at the end of August. It took Egly-Ouriet some time to calibrate his prices after hearing about the 100 points and it seems he does...

Marc Chauvet is my remaining budget pick still available for around $40 that hasn't increased in price

the price-point for budget/value champagne now seems to have unfortunately moved from $40 to $60 - André Clouet is my pick/favourite:

• Marc Chauvet Tradition Brut $42 in 6pk (or @penegal's Colin Cuvee Alliance Brut $49) @ d'Or to Door
• Louis Armand 1er Cru Blanc de Blancs $48.84 @ Vivino direct after 10% off, 10.5% Cashrewards ($74 @ Randall's)
• Serge Mathieu Tradition Brut (Blanc de Noirs) $54.99 @ Bottega Tasca
• Louis Armand Premier Cru Brut $59 @ Randall's
• André Clouet Grande Reserve Brut (Blanc de Noirs) $59.99 @ WineStar
• Paul Bara Brut Réserve $73.50 @ Buzz Wines after 30% off

for sparkling reds, Primo Estate apparently again sold out of their Joseph direct within a day of release last month, but 2008 Seppelt Show Sparkling Shiraz:

• $75 SEPPELT Show Sparkling Limited Release Shiraz, Great Western 2008 | Langton's Fine Wines
• $85 delivered Seppelt Show Sparkling Limited Release Shiraz 2008 | Cellardoor.co
• $75 delivered after $25 off Seppelt Show Sparkling Limited Release Shiraz 2008 | Seppelt

If its Jacquart its the same price as Vintage Cellars members special $50 per bottle. A very decent champagne at that price.

I was at the Subiaco Hotel in Perth earlier this year and you could get a bottle of Mumm off their wine list for $70. Almost fell off my chair…and then ordered 2 bottles.

What's in a Glass?

How can you measure what’s in a glass? Hint, I’m not talking volume. Intangibles, notably appearance and aroma, should impart to a glass something worth beholding, though the sum of their parts may not always make your glass seem full. Two of Australia’s leading winemakers applied some scrutiny...

FWIW Taittinger Prelude is a big favorite in our Casa and has been ever since I first tasted it in SQ J years back - virtually never discounted one needs to seek high and low to source at good price - yesterday I was just Googling and stumbled across this - thedrinksociety

$99.99 is very competitive - Dans have it at $137.80 in a six - a few other sites have cheaper but I think in very limited numbers - anyways a call to Dans this morn secured a 'Price Beat' of $98.99 less 5% eGift Card for a doz = $94.04 I am more than happy with this price.

 

[dairyfloss]

At Coles Online you can currently get an extra 20% off online liquor orders to a max discount of $50 (per cart). Offer ends 27 Dec, 2022. The discount is not stackable with some other 10% off liquor discount that's available, but it is stackable on items already on sale, and so depending on availability in your area it might make for some good value on certain items.

Just for example - Moet Vintage 2013 reduced already (NSW) by $23 to $95, and you can save another 20% taking it to $76, which is excellent pricing if you're a fan of this one. I picked up a few bottles of Veuve NV for over the silly season at $61.60 (currently reduced by $13 to $77 and then 20% off that), which I beleive is about as good as it's been, of late? Works for click-and-collect too.

Cheers,
Matt.

Yeah best for Veuve recently but only because it hasn't been on catalogue from what I've seen, I'm waiting on some flybuys+Cashrewards and possibly 10% off deals to come around. I received a $10 sitewide cashback from Cashrewards today valid until tomorrow evening, worth checking your inbox if you're a member (needs email activation).

[marki]

I used Langtons for a Krug 2004 Champagne they are expensive but scored it 300 a bottle. ( had to buy 3)

These funny deals come up albeit rarely. Normal price is 500

 

[Tommo_Aus]

Good deal on Krug vintage, I've been close to buying a bottle many times but never have, haven't seen it for 300 before!

On the topic of Veuve it's $53.46 for one bottle at Liquorland today with 10% off sitewide and 15% ShopBack, normally I'd be going for a price lower than this but seems the best around leading into Christmas. Second is the FC price above if you're after more, essentially the same but only works for 3 bottles.

Looks like Costco AU now have this available for $42, but you can still get it at Good Drop for $25. I really like it for an everyday drinking Champagne (not that I drink Champagne every day). Hope Good Drop don't see this and match the Costco price Kirkland Brut NV Champagne

Just to provide some feedback on the Kirkland Brut NV Champagne. MrsK and I have sampled a couple of bottles, and while it's nice I wouldn't pay more than $25 for it - there's better stuff in the $45-$50 range. We think Aldi's Monsigny Champagne Brut NV, at $27/bottle is a better choice, but then, each to their own.
