Besserat de Bellefon Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Champagne

Olivia Wong - Nice but is it £76 nice?

7/10

Look, it's a good champagne. Crisp, well made, proper depth to it. But at £76.50 I can't help thinking there are bottles at £45-50 that get you 90% of the way there. Would happily drink it again if someone else was buying.

Diana Cruz - Christmas day winner

8/10

Got this for Christmas day and it was the star of the meal. Beautiful fine mousse and a really pure, focused taste that went perfectly with the smoked salmon starter. Will definitely be buying again next December.

Marcus Blackwell - The good stuff

9/10

Saw this on a restaurant menu and the sommelier talked me into it. So glad he did. It's all Chardonnay grapes and you can really tell — clean and elegant but not boring at all. Tracked down a bottle for home the next week.

Sophia Laurent - Birthday treat that delivered

9/10

My wife got me this for my 40th and wow, it's properly good stuff. Really clean and fresh with tiny bubbles that just keep going. At £76 it's not an everyday thing but for a special occasion it's worth every penny.

Camila Ortiz - Step up from my usual

8/10

I normally stick to prosecco or cava so this was a big jump for me. Definitely get what you pay for though — it's way more complex and interesting, and the finish just lingers. Felt very fancy drinking it on a Friday night in my pyjamas.

Herbert Muller - Impressive for a dinner party

8/10

Served this at a dinner party and got loads of compliments. It's got a lovely brightness to it and the bubbles are super fine, not aggressive like some cheaper fizz. Everyone kept going back for more which says it all really.

Tomas Rivera - Expected more honestly

6/10

The wine shop guy raved about this so maybe my expectations were too high. It's perfectly nice champagne, clean and well made with a decent finish. But for nearly £80 I wanted to be blown away and I just wasn't. My partner loved it though so maybe it's a me problem.

Haruki Sato - Solid grand cru champagne

7/10

Picked this up from a recommendation on a wine forum. It's well balanced with good acidity and genuine complexity — not just fizzy wine, if you know what I mean. Dock it a point because I think it needs another year or two to really shine. Still very enjoyable though.
