Bollinger Rose NV Champagne: Bubbles with Real Depth
Champagne 12.5% ABV ABV BollingerGreat with seafood
Picked this up for a fancy fish supper at home and it was a perfect match. Really precise and zesty — lemon curd vibes with a bone-dry finish. Not super fruity which I actually prefer in a champagne. Would buy again for sure.
Solid rosé champers
Had this at a friend's wedding and tracked it down afterwards. It's got a lovely citrusy freshness but also a deeper savoury side — almost like toasted almonds? Really elegant stuff. At £63 it's not an everyday buy but it's genuinely good.
This is what good champagne tastes like
I used to think all champagne was basically the same until someone opened a bottle of this at a dinner party. The brioche and almond notes are so distinctive, and there's a chalky mineral thing on the finish that just keeps going. Completely changed my perspective.
Prefer it to regular Bollinger tbh
Saw this on a restaurant menu and figured why not. It's drier and more serious than I expected from a rosé — lots of citrus peel and a toasty bread character. Not really a crowd-pleaser if your mates want something sweet and easy, but I quite liked it.
Proper stuff
Got given this as a Christmas present and it's leagues ahead of the usual prosecco we drink. Really fine bubbles, lovely fresh citrus blossom smell, and a finish that genuinely lingers for ages. I'm not usually a champagne person but this might have converted me.
Nice but steep price tag
The wine shop guy recommended this when I said I wanted something special for our anniversary. It's good — crisp, lemony, with a long dry finish — but honestly at nearly £65 I expected to be more wowed. I've had cheaper fizz that made me happier.
Birthday treat that delivered
Bought this for my wife's 40th and we were both blown away. The bubbles are so fine and delicate, and there's this amazing toasty, bready thing going on underneath the fruit. Finish goes on forever. Worth every penny for a special occasion.
