Palmer & Co La Réserve Nature Champagne

Natasha Volkov - Properly good zero dosage

8/10

I've been getting into brut nature champagnes lately and this is one of the better ones I've tried. Some no-dosage bottles can be a bit harsh but this has enough fruit to keep it balanced. Clean finish that doesn't outstay its welcome. Would happily buy again.

Kofi Asante - Nice but maybe not £57 nice

7/10

The wine shop guy recommended this when I said I wanted something bone dry for a dinner party. It's good — really precise and mineral-driven with decent acidity. But at nearly sixty quid I've had comparable champagnes for less. Guests enjoyed it though so can't complain too much.

Jake Morrison - Birthday treat that delivered

9/10

Bought this for my 40th and honestly so glad I did. Really dry and crisp — none of that sweetness you get with cheaper champagnes. There's this lovely mineral quality that keeps you going back for another sip. At £57 it's not cheap but for a special occasion it's worth every penny.

Ravi Krishnan - Wow this is dry

8/10

Fair warning if you're used to regular champagne, this is VERY dry. Zero sugar added apparently. Once I got used to that I really enjoyed it — super clean and refreshing with a sort of chalky mineral thing going on. Had it with some fish and chips on a Friday night and it was brilliant.

Marianne Blom - Converted me to brut nature

9/10

Saw this on a restaurant menu and the waiter talked me into trying it. I normally go for regular brut but this was something else — really layered and complex without being heavy. The finish just keeps going in a subtle way. Tracked down a bottle to buy for home the next week. Proper champagne this.
