First Impressions
Champagne Lallier Blanc de Blancs NV Champagne arrives at £84.95, positioning it in the mid-to-premium bracket where quality must shine. 75cl / 12.5% - A floral, buttery Blanc de Blancs Champagne from Lallier that is made exclusively with Chardonnay grapes from Aÿ, France. Aromas of hawthorn, acacia, freshly-baked.
France's winemaking heritage needs no introduction, but the best producers continue to find new ways to express their terroir while honouring centuries of tradition. Lallier is a name worth knowing in this context.
On the Nose and Palate
The nose offers complex aromas of baked apple, biscuit, and candied citrus peel over a mineral backbone. Moving to the palate, the wine is luxurious mousse delivering ripe fruit, patisserie notes, and a long saline finish. The finish is persistent and precise, with citrus, biscuit, and a beautifully dry, mineral close.
Food Pairing and Serving
Equally at home as an aperitif or alongside seafood, sushi, or delicate canapés. Serve at 8-10°C in proper flutes or, better yet, white wine glasses to appreciate the full bouquet.

At £84.95, the quality-to-price ratio here is genuinely impressive. Whether you are building a cellar or simply looking for something excellent to drink tonight, this bottle earns its place.
