Château Pape-Clément, Pessac-Léognan – some 2006 still outstanding
The tally of Bordeaux en primeur wines ordered by 1855's customers and not delivered continues to mount.
To date there are a total 1352 bottles (115 cases) from 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 known to be outstanding with a current value of approximately 107,673€.* The biggest number of unfilled orders are from 2005 with 764 bottles (over 63 cases) with a current worth of 56,000€. This is followed by 2006 350 bottles (over 29 cases) worth 11,000€ and 2007 – 204 bottles worth just over 35,000€.
The 2007 Carruades de Lafite that Fabien Hyon (chief operating officer of 1855) promised would be delivered by the end of 2010 have not yet arrived, although I know one of the customers awaiting this wine received an email last week from Hyon saying that the wine was on its way.

thanks for posting this. I am in the same situation havng problem with 1855.com Will contact you shortly through your email address
Janet. Sorry to hear this. Look forward to receiving your email.
I ordered wine at 1855.com this year and yes: they did not deliver. Only after threatening them with legal pursuit, some boxes arrived. I think they take money from new customers to deliver older customers. So it's a pyramid game, very dangerous. Their stocks have fallen to 14 eurocents. And finally: yes, the Mr. Brocheton-way really works.
Hi Jim, until today, I still have 36 bottles outstanding from 1855.com. V annoying indeed. They offered to refund but from the price I bought at that time. And of course I don't accept that. Now just wrote to them again and copied in Christian Brocheton. Wish me luck.
Janet. Certainly will. Let me know how you get on. Jim
