Apologies I haven't opened them yet, so can't share tasting notes.
Just wanted to share this as if any of you visit Épernay, the historic capital of Champagne, then go to the Leclerc in Pierry and fill your car boot as it's full of gems at good prices.
I asked how this price was achievable and the person there told me that they do private cellar buyouts on occasions and then sell with their own target margins based on what they bought for, rather than at the actual market price (circa €30 for the one on the photo)
They also have loads of Champagne, including some rare stuff from the 1940/50/60/70s.

… as long as you want French wine!
Imo these >15 years old <20€ Bordeaux from small domaines sold at the grandes surfaces in France are dead 99% of the times.
Doesn’t stop me from gambling every time though 😂😂😭
I often ask myself, where has stuff like this been this whole time? A Grand Vin that is 100% 20 years past its prime only just now entering the market? Like was this sat in a negotiants warehouse for 40+ years?
But would I still buy one? At this price, yeah. What a great novelty/oddity.
Yes because it’s shitty wine

that’s also a real fucking gamble.
