Don't get me wrong, I like LVMH Luxury brands just fine. But a big part of that price tag is marketing. Crémant de Bourgogne is just as good and far more fun to say. ^
Well, Cloudy Bay is LVMH

You should visit their cellar door in Marlborough, NZ. I went as part of a wine tour. We got to try a number of different vintages of the sauv blanc, and thanks to our operator knowing the right people
, staff also offered us a taste of a much older vintage, can't remember what year it was but it was 10+ years older. Sauvignon blanc usually doesn't go back that far in vintage at retail unless you seek it out.
