Michael Haynes, a UK lawyer but based in France near Bergerac, is planning to put together a class action against 1855 (1855.com). Like so many other 'customers' of 1855 he is owed a considerable quantity of en primeurs from the 2005, 2006 and 2007 vintages.
Michael would like anyone owed wine by 1855 (1855.com) to contact him supplying details – the ideal would be for each claimant to supply me with a print out of their order from their a/c page from 1855.com, plus an edited version showing just the wines outstanding (as the a/c page shows both outstanding and already delivered orders) with an estimate of their current value. The best way of finding current value is to check on www.wine-searcher.com. I find it easiest to restrict the search to UK merchants using euro as the currency and to search for full cases rather than a bottle price.
