Laurent-Perrier Alexandra Rose 2012 Champagne

Simon Hughes - Absolutely stunning champagne

9/10

The wine shop guy recommended this when I said I wanted something special for New Year's Eve. It's so well balanced — fruity and fresh without being heavy at all. Everyone at the table noticed how long the taste stayed after each sip. One of those wines that makes you go quiet for a second.

Priscilla Nunes - The 2012 vintage is something else

10/10

I've tried a few Laurent-Perrier rosés over the years but the Alexandra 2012 is on another level entirely. There's a complexity to it that unfolds the longer you spend with it — layers of fruit that just keep revealing themselves. Shared it with my dad who's been into wine for decades and even he was impressed. Special bottle.

Zoe Chen - Best rosé champagne I've ever had

10/10

My wife got me this for my 50th birthday and I'm still thinking about it weeks later. The bubbles are super fine and there's this amazing balance where it's rich but also really fresh and crisp at the same time. Genuinely the best champagne I've tasted, rosé or otherwise.

Felix Moreau - Treat yourself if you can

8/10

I'm not normally a champagne person but I picked this up duty free on a whim. Really opened my eyes to what rosé champagne can be. The red fruit flavours are super defined and it's got this depth that kept surprising me. At 12.5% it's dangerously easy to drink for something this serious.

Kwame Mensah - Really nice but I expected more for the price

7/10

Don't get me wrong, this is a very good champagne. Lovely red fruit on the nose and great acidity. But at nearly £350 I was expecting to be completely blown away and I wasn't quite. I've had champagnes at half the price that got closer to this than I'd like to admit.

Liam Anderson - Lovely but hard to justify the price

8/10

Tried this at a friend's dinner party and it's genuinely beautiful — elegant red fruits, long clean finish, everything you'd want. But £347 is a LOT. I'd have it again if someone else was pouring, but I'd probably grab a regular LP rosé for my own money.

Mia Sundberg - Had this at a restaurant and had to find it

9/10

Saw this on the wine list at a nice place in London and the sommelier talked us into it. So glad he did. It's incredibly precise — you can pick out every flavour clearly and the finish just goes on and on. Tracked down a bottle for Christmas dinner and it was just as good at home.

Andre Dubois - Worth every penny for a special night

9/10

Bought this for our 10th wedding anniversary and wow, it did not disappoint. The red fruit flavours are so clear and vibrant, and it just keeps going — the finish lasts forever. At £347 it's obviously not an everyday bottle but for a milestone occasion it felt absolutely right.
