Gary V's once-a-day site had this for $26.66, so I bought 3 (which came with free shipping).
This is a really nice little NV. It's got some nice, clean fruit of orange and mango with a very friendly frame of acids and a teensy touch of sweetness that I'd consider a tiny bit over the average brut (I don't know the dosage). A bit of nuttiness rounds it out. Mostly PM and Chardonnay, and very, very pleasant wine. It's a great buy at that price, and would be worth a buy at $10 more competing with Duval Leroy for good champagne at the lowest price range for the real stuff.

I've picked up some inexpensive stuff recently as well. Put an order in with JJBuck (that means I don't have it yet..) for Delamotte at around $29. This is one of my favs and I've never gotten it for this price. Almost a case purchase situation.....

It seems like I saw more sub-$35 champagne this year than in the last few years. Anyone confirm/deny?

The price of Champagne has come down, as the industry is in deep trouble--again!
