Larmandier-Bernier Terre de Vertus Non Dose 2017

Jason Steel - Best champagne I've had in ages

10/10

The guy at my local wine shop recommended this and I'm so glad he did. You can tell it's been aged for a while — there's this depth to it that cheaper champagnes just don't have. The finish goes on forever, I kept noticing new things with every sip. Already planning to grab another bottle.

Thomas Weber - Really good but nearly £100 is steep

8/10

Had this at a friend's dinner party and it was genuinely lovely — clean, precise, interesting flavours throughout. But when I looked up the price afterwards I was a bit taken aback. It's better than most champagnes I've tried, sure, but I'm not sure it's twice-the-price-of-a-good-one better. Would happily drink it again if someone else is buying though!

Devon Marsh - Classy stuff, lingering finish

8/10

Picked this up for my dad's birthday since he's into his grower champagnes. Larmandier-Bernier is one of the good ones apparently. We both agreed the finish is the standout thing — it just hangs around in the best way. Really well made. Dad said it was the highlight of his birthday so mission accomplished.

Lena Petrova - So different from normal champagne

9/10

I'm still pretty new to wine but even I could tell this was special. It's a "non dosé" which I had to google — basically means no added sugar. Sounds like it'd be too dry but it's actually really balanced and refreshing. The smell alone is gorgeous, kind of drew me in before I even tasted it. Served it with some nibbles before Sunday roast and it was perfect.

Tomas Rivera - Worth every penny for a special night

9/10

Bought this for our anniversary dinner and wow. No sugar added apparently but it doesn't taste dry or harsh at all — really smooth with loads of flavour that kept changing as we drank it. The bubbles are super fine and elegant. At £95 it's not an everyday thing but for a celebration it's absolutely spot on.
