Collet Demi-Sec NV Champagne

Penelope Hart - Great dinner party champagne

8/10

Brought this to a friend's dinner party because I wanted something a bit different from the usual brut. Everyone commented on how good it was. It's got a confident nose — you can tell straight away it's well made. The sweetness is subtle, not in-your-face, and the finish is really clean.

Mei-Lin Wu - Birthday treat that delivered

8/10

My wife got me this for my birthday and we cracked it open with dessert. The fruit comes through really nicely without being cloying, and there's a depth to it that kept us both going back for more. We finished the bottle embarrassingly fast.

Emily Thomas - Nice but a bit pricey

7/10

Got this as part of a mixed case from an online shop. It's good champagne, clean finish and genuinely interesting to drink, but at nearly £39 I'd probably reach for something else day to day. That said, the balance is impressive and it doesn't taste like drinking sugar water the way some demi-secs do.

Henrik Larsen - Solid choice, not mind-blowing

7/10

The guy at my local wine shop recommended this and said Collet is underrated. He's not wrong — it's a well-made demi-sec with proper acidity and decent complexity. I just think at this price point there's stiff competition. Good with spicy takeaway though, which I wasn't expecting.

Oscar Delgado - Way better than expected for a demi-sec

9/10

Picked this up because I usually find demi-sec too sweet and wanted to give the category another chance. Really glad I did — it's not syrupy at all, the acidity keeps everything in check. Had it with some blue cheese after dinner and it was perfect. Would definitely buy again.
