Gallimard Les Riceys Rose Brut Champagne
Champagne 12.5% ABV ABV GallimardBirthday treat that delivered
Bought this for my wife's birthday after the guy at our local wine shop recommended it. Really lovely stuff — the bubbles are fine and it's got this gorgeous fruity nose that hits you as soon as you pour. At £39 it's not cheap but honestly for a proper Champagne that tastes this good, I think it's fair. We finished the bottle before dinner was even ready.
Nice but maybe a touch pricey
Picked this up for a dinner party and it went down well enough. It's balanced and clean with decent fruit, nothing too sweet or overdone. I just feel like for nearly £40 I was expecting something that blew me away a bit more? Good Champagne, just not sure I'd buy it again when there are solid options for less.
Rosé Champagne convert
I don't usually go for rosé Champagne but a friend brought this round and I'm glad she did. It's expressive and interesting without being try-hard, if that makes sense. The finish lingers in a really pleasant way. At 12.5% it's easy drinking too — dangerous honestly, the bottle didn't last long between the three of us.
Proper Champagne vibes
Saw this on a menu at a wine bar and liked it so much I tracked down a bottle. What I love is that it doesn't taste sugary like some Champagnes — the fruit and the acidity are really nicely balanced. Keeps pulling you back for another sip. Great with some charcuterie on a Friday night.
