Dom Ruinart 2010 Blanc de Blancs Champagne

Jackson Wu - Best champagne I've ever had

10/10

My wife got this for my 50th birthday and I'm still thinking about it weeks later. So elegant and refined without being showy. The finish just goes on and on. I don't usually rate things 10 but this genuinely earned it.

Tyler Bennet - Lovely but hard to justify the price

8/10

Had this at a friend's dinner party and it's undeniably gorgeous — real depth to it, beautifully balanced between fruit and that crisp acidity. But £249 is a LOT for champagne when there are solid options at half that. If someone else is buying, absolutely say yes though.

Annika Svensson - Worth every penny for a special night

9/10

Bought this for our 10th anniversary dinner and wow, it did not disappoint. Really layered and complex — you keep noticing new things as you drink it. Not your typical bubbly that's all fizz and no substance. At £249 it's a serious purchase but for a once-in-a-while treat, absolutely worth it.

Finn OBrien - Really nice but maybe overhyped?

8/10

Got recommended this by the guy at my local wine shop. It's definitely high quality — smooth, complex, lovely long finish. But I've had champagnes at £100-150 that got me nearly as excited. The 2010 vintage has aged well though and it's a proper grown-up drink. Just not sure it's £249 good for me personally.

Zara Al-Hassan - The quiet confidence thing is real

9/10

Saw this on a restaurant wine list and decided to treat myself. It doesn't hit you over the head like some champagnes do — it's more subtle and pulls you in gradually. Blanc de Blancs done right basically. Went perfectly with our seafood starters. Would buy again if my bank account allowed it.
