Converted me to rosé champagne
Never really got rosé champagne before, always thought it was a bit gimmicky. A mate brought this round and I have to say it changed my mind. There's genuine complexity here and a clean finish that keeps you wanting more. Not just a pretty colour in a glass.

Solid rosé champagne
Had this at a friend's wedding and tracked a bottle down afterwards. It's got a lovely dryness to it with crisp acidity that keeps you coming back for another sip. Not cheap at £73 but it's genuinely good champagne, not just pink for the sake of it.

Bit pricey for what it is
Saw this on a restaurant menu and ordered it by the glass. It's clean and well balanced with nice acidity, I'll give it that. But for £73 a bottle I expected to be more blown away honestly. It's good champagne but not sure it justifies the premium over something like Billecart.

Perfect with salmon
We had this with smoked salmon starters on Christmas Day and it was a brilliant match. There's a firmness to it that cuts through richer food really well. The colour is gorgeous too — proper pale pink. One of those wines that makes a meal feel a bit more special.

Goes down dangerously easy
Picked this up for a dinner party and it was gone in about 20 minutes. Really expressive on the nose, not just generic fruit, and the finish lingers in a really pleasant way. Light enough at 12.5% that nobody felt rough the next day either. Would definitely buy again.

Birthday treat that delivered
Bought this for my wife's 40th and it was a hit. Really elegant pink colour and the bubbles are super fine — everyone commented on it. Proper champagne taste, not like those cheap rosé proseccos. Worth the splurge for a special occasion.

This is what champagne should taste like
I'm not a massive wine nerd but I know what I like, and this is properly good. The bubbles are tiny and creamy, and there's a real structure to it that builds the more you drink. Bought a second bottle the same week which tells you everything.

Nice but steep price
The wine shop guy recommended this when I asked for a rosé champagne. It's well made and has proper depth to it — you can tell it's a step above the usual stuff. But at over £70 a bottle I'd probably only buy it for special occasions. There are decent options for less.
