Laculle Freres Rose Maceration 2018 Champagne
Champagne 12.5% ABV ABV Laculle FreresWorth every penny for a special night
Bought this for our anniversary and it was absolutely stunning. The bubbles are fine and elegant, and there's this lovely depth to it that you don't get with most champagnes. At £90 it's not cheap but honestly it felt like a proper treat. We kept going back to it all evening.
Such a lovely surprise
Got this as a birthday present from my sister and honestly wasn't expecting much because I usually just drink whatever's on offer. But this is really something else. You can smell it as soon as you pour and each sip has something new going on. I'm officially a champagne convert.
Really interesting rosé champagne
The wine shop guy recommended this when I said I wanted something a bit different for a dinner party. It's got a lot going on — layers of flavour that kind of unfold as you drink it. Not your typical light and fruity rosé fizz. Good stuff but I'd want a special occasion to justify the price.
Best champagne I've had in ages
I don't usually spend this much on a bottle but someone brought this to a birthday and I was blown away. The nose hits you straight away with real intensity, and the finish just keeps going. Already ordered two more for Christmas.
Good but not sure it's £90 good
Saw this on a restaurant menu and tried a glass first before committing. It's clean and precise with a nice long finish, and definitely more serious than your average prosecco substitute. But for nearly ninety quid a bottle I expected to be slightly more wowed. Maybe I need to try it again with food.
Bit pricey but solid
Nice champagne, proper structured with good acidity. It's the kind of thing where you notice more the longer you sit with it, which I appreciate. That said, £90 is a lot and I've had bottles at £50-60 that come close. Would buy again on offer.
Gorgeous with food
Had this with roast chicken and it was perfect. There's a firmness to it that stands up really well to food — not just a cocktail hour wine. The rosé colour is beautiful too. My wife now wants it for every Sunday roast which my wallet is not thrilled about.
