Advice on champagne

[cove]

I did the Moet for Sydney at a tad under $40 as I prefer it to Veuve. The step up from this is Krug but I save up for the SQ treat.

 

[Mr_Orange]

I collected mine yesterday

As did I, yesterday evening. Mrs_O was delighted when I walked through the door with the yellow box.

The coupon code sale is over, so of course Veuve is now back in stock. Not suspicious at all

Time to stick some in your cart and wait for another sale?

"2x Henri Rousseau Blanc de Blancs Brut Tradition NV - 100% Burgundy Chardonnay"
Now, there's an interesting combination of words.
To be fair to United Cellars, I don't suppose they are actually saying that it is Champagne.
(But I would think that some of the purchasers would take it as such.)

Oh dear! That's not a good look. At least nothing dripping!
May need a siesta to settle down after its adventures, though.

Yikes thats some fairly bad service.

Had similar with a Taittinger order from Dans. DMs ended up giving us a gift card as an apology as the box arrived dripping wet (not the contents) and the gift boxes were all ruined.

 

[penegal]

Eek - not good.

 

[gaz0303]

Looks bad. Those boxes don't look they are designed for shipping though. I'd say the sender needs to take some blame.

Not defending Aust Post but personally I think there are carriers that are much worse!

 

[Cruiser Elite]

That there is exactly why it's prudent to 'Click and Collect' whenever possible.

Krug grand cuvée is 198 when purchased with any 6 for the next day on DM.

It will be interesting to see how many of those have been tried by the gang here. Probably quite a few of us know one or two of the producers but I doubt many would have tasted that range.
I do like Prozac's recommendation.
Then give us your rankings. What was the source? Can't tell on my phone.

And by chance, a few minutes later, I'm standing in front of a row of Champagnes that includes a Dosnon Recolte Noire, Blanc de Noirs NV.
