Is there anything decent being, um, indecently discounted?
Any compelling pre-Christmas champagne offers?

Mann is currently offering 15% off the Arnould wines - the cheapest of the roses is I think excellent and excellent value.

TWS offer on Roederer Collection 245 at £42 each (for 6 pack) seems pretty good.

And plenty of other discounted offers and a pretty decent selection.

I went for the Gimmonet Cuis for social events this year from TWS.

Mrs C recently declared we have enough Champagne. That brooked no argument from me & I should be able to milk this for a few months.

Swig have an offer out on the Collard-Piccard Perpetuelle at the moment which at £44 pb if you buy 12 is great vfm imo.

The Laithwaites 30% off brings Roederer 245 down to £31.5, Bollinger to £30 etc.
If you stack 15% Club Lloyds/Halifax offers and for me 8.5% topcashback then they come down to low £20s.

Me too. Needed some Champagne and the LR 245 at just over £31 delivered was too good an offer to resist.

First time ever for me. The £8 delivery charge disappeared as well which was a bonus.

Did you not get offered free delivery for 6 months?

I got that a few weeks ago from TWS and it is an excellent Champagne. However, de Burgh have 20% off at the moment, making it £39.99/bottle (and free delivery for orders over £120)

Just tried this. Topcashback doesn't seem to have tracked it, irritatingly.

No idea. I was prepared to pay the £8 to NI. I've been asked to pay £180 for a case from Justerinis before now
. Palette cost, with duty out and in and a admin cost. Must have been practicing for a mic night!- Location

Oddly enough I tried Roederer 245 last night and found it well-crafted but a bit lacking in character.
I've liked Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve/Mise en Cave, and occasionally bought Comte, so perhaps it's about style, preferring something with a bit more yeast and biscuit about it?

My experience with these is that they need at least a year before they show well. I think I made the mistake of feeling that 241 was better than 242, whereas I now believe it was just the additional bottle age that gave it the advantage. Mind you magnum/half-magnum effect may also have been at play.

I suspect it’s just age. With that said, Roederer Collection has been kind enough to me that even if I’ve just bought a dozen somewhat characterless but well made wines I won’t regret our relationship.

Even less if you sign up for their subscriptions - which I think the T&Cs allow you to cancel or return at any time (fingers crossed)

I have some 244 somewhere. Be interesting to see if it's become something more fun than well-made.

I know the recipe has changed somewhat, but a bottle of the very last of the Brut Premier tasted a couple of weeks ago was absolutely outstanding. I’m guessing around five or six years bottle age? Lightest vanilla cream puff sitting on a lightly toasted biscuit crumb sort of outstanding…
My advice would be to buy now and wait five years.
I suspect that a year from release the development would be minimal.
