JL Vergnon Conversation Blanc de Blancs NV Champagne
Champagne 12.5% ABV ABV JL VergnonProper grown-up champagne
Picked this up after seeing JL Vergnon mentioned somewhere online and I'm glad I did. It's got this lovely structure to it — fruity but with a real backbone of acidity holding everything together. Not showy at all, just quietly really good. Had it with some fish and chips on a Friday night and it was perfect.
Nice but maybe a touch overpriced
Had this at a friend's dinner party and it was solid champagne, no complaints. Good acidity, decent bubbles, clean finish. But at nearly £47 a bottle I'd probably look elsewhere for an everyday fizz. For a special occasion though, sure.
Birthday treat that delivered
My wife got me this for my birthday and wow, it's properly good champagne. Really crisp and fresh with a lovely dry finish that keeps you coming back for more. At £47 it's not cheap but it's miles better than most stuff at this price. We finished the bottle before the starters were done.
New favourite for celebrations
Served this at our anniversary dinner and everyone asked what it was. It smells amazing straight out of the bottle and the finish is so clean and refreshing. I'm not usually one to spend this much on wine but honestly it felt worth every penny. Already ordered two more bottles.
Great recommendation from the wine shop
The guy in my local wine shop pointed me towards this when I said I wanted something a bit special but not crazy expensive. It's 100% Chardonnay which apparently makes it a Blanc de Blancs — you can really taste the precision, it's sharp and clean without being harsh. Would definitely buy again.
