- Good not great

7/10

Got this as a gift and it's a solid champagne for sure. Quite honeyed in the middle with a salty edge which was interesting. I think I'd struggle to justify buying it myself at that price when there are decent champagnes around for half that, but it's a nice drink and I wouldn't say no to another glass.

- Really solid but pricey

8/10

Had this at a friend's dinner party and liked it enough to track down a bottle myself. It's got a nice chalky dryness to it and the fruit is more stone fruit than citrus which I prefer. Bit steep at £95 though — I'd save it for Christmas or an anniversary rather than a regular weekend.

- Classy stuff from Bouzy

9/10

Picked this up after reading about Bouzy Grand Cru champagnes and wanting to try a proper blanc de blancs. Really expressive — white peach, almonds, a bit smoky. The acidity keeps it fresh and stops it feeling too rich. Would absolutely buy again for a special meal.

- Birthday treat that delivered

9/10

Bought this for my 40th and wow, it did not disappoint. The toasty almond thing going on is gorgeous and it's got this lovely peachy richness without being heavy. Nearly £95 is a lot but honestly for a special occasion champagne it's worth every penny.

- 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. There's this brioche-y toastiness that just keeps going and the finish is incredibly long and clean. I don't usually spend this much on a single bottle but I've already gone back for another one.

- Nice but expected more for the price

8/10

Opened this with some friends over a seafood dinner. It's good — smooth, well made, lovely dried pear and citrus notes on the finish. But at nearly a hundred quid I was expecting to be completely blown away and it was more like quietly impressive? Still really enjoyed it, just managing expectations.
