Paul Launois Monochrome #5 Blanc de Blancs Champagne / Magnum

Ravi Krishnan - Best blanc de blancs I've had

10/10

My local wine shop guy recommended this and wow. So layered and complex but in a way that doesn't feel like hard work — every sip just had something new going on. I've had champagnes twice the price that weren't this good. Will be buying again for Christmas.

Valentina Ricci - Our new anniversary champagne

9/10

We split this magnum between four of us on our anniversary weekend and it was gorgeous. Really confident flavour right from the first glass — nothing wishy-washy about it. The finish is so smooth and it just keeps inviting you back for more. Already ordered another one.

Freya Lindqvist - Birthday treat that delivered

9/10

Bought this magnum for my 40th and it was the star of the night. Really clean and precise — not one of those champagnes that just tastes like fizzy nothing. The finish hangs around just long enough to make you want another glass. At £119 for a magnum it's actually not bad value per glass.

Kofi Asante - Nice champagne, not sure about the hype

7/10

It's good, don't get me wrong. Clean finish and decent depth to it. But for nearly £120 I was expecting to be completely blown away and I just thought it was a solid champagne. Maybe I need to try it again with lower expectations.

Maxwell Green - Punches well above its weight

9/10

Saw this on a list at a restaurant and ordered a bottle, then tracked down the magnum online. Really expressive on the nose, you can smell it as soon as you pour. The acidity is spot on and it carried through a whole seafood spread without getting lost.

Wei Zhang - Lovely but a big spend

8/10

Got this for a dinner party and everyone was impressed. It's structured and balanced, proper grown-up champagne. Bit pricey at £119 though — I'd save it for special occasions rather than a casual Saturday night.
