Paul Dethune Grand Cru NV Champagne

Marcus Blackwell - New favourite champagne

9/10

I don't know loads about champagne but I know what I like, and I really like this. It's dry and fresh with a clean finish that makes you want another glass immediately. Brought it to a friend's house for New Year's and everyone loved it.

Idris Ibrahim - Great for a dinner party

8/10

Served this at a dinner party and got loads of compliments. It smells amazing straight out of the bottle — really ripe fruity aromas that hit you immediately. Held up well through starters and mains. Would definitely buy again.

Luciano Bianchi - Punches above its weight

8/10

Saw this on a restaurant menu and looked it up afterwards to buy a few bottles. For a Grand Cru NV it's surprisingly complex — layers of flavour that keep unfolding as you drink. Not flashy, just really well made. Became my go-to for when I want something a step up from supermarket champagne.

Felix Moreau - Decent but not mind-blowing

7/10

Picked this up after reading some good things online. It's well-balanced and the acidity is nice and bright, but I was expecting a bit more wow factor at this price point. The fruit is there but it's quite restrained. Good champagne, just not one I'd rush to rebuy.

Jorge Castillo - Proper champagne this

9/10

Bought this for my wife's birthday after the guy in the wine shop recommended it. Really glad I did — it's got this lovely fresh acidity that keeps you coming back for more. Not sweet or heavy at all, just clean and crisp with proper depth to it. Worth every penny of the £47.

Ryan Mitchell - Nice but a bit steep

7/10

It's a solid champagne, don't get me wrong. Good balance, nice acidity, and the finish lingers in a pleasant way. But at nearly £47 I'd probably only grab it for special occasions. You can find decent fizz for less.
