What’s the Champagne on QR these days?
I was trying to find an up to date thread on this but with no luck.

Specifically in the LHR QR Lounge, On board and at Al Mourjan

Also, How does it compare to the Lanson Rose?

IMO, Lanson Rosé is only one very small step above Drappier in terms of taste, etc. No idea where it stands on the prestige ladder.

IMO both LPs are the best on this list.

Absolutely. I savoured a few glasses of the LP Rose in the LHR lounge and then enjoyed the non-Alcoholic So Jennie on board, as QR on board champagnes have declined considerably over the past 3 years in my opinion.

I still don't understand why they can't/won't serve Veuve. Apart from the fact that I really like it (unfortunately, I must assume that AAB has more on his priority list than keeping me happy), it's not expensive (yet has an expensive-looking label, for those to whom that matters), and has a nice, clean, crisp taste.

I so agree with you on this . From my recollection many years ago did they not serve grand dame for a shortish period in the AS first class lounge ? The bog standard yellow label is one of my standard cuvee favs
