This is what dry champagne should taste like
Picked this up after the guy at my local wine shop recommended it as a proper zero-dosage champagne. He wasn't wrong — it's bone dry but somehow still really fruity and fresh, not harsh at all. Had it with oysters on our anniversary and it was absolutely perfect. Not cheap at £62 but honestly felt worth it for a special night.

Finally a champagne that isn't sweet
I've been on a mission to find champagnes that aren't sugary and this Pol Roger Pure is exactly what I wanted. Really bright acidity, proper dry, and it just keeps going on the finish. Served it at a dinner party and even my friends who usually drink prosecco were impressed.

Stunning stuff from Pol Roger
Saw this on a restaurant menu and decided to try a glass before buying a bottle. So glad I did because I immediately ordered one to take home. There's real depth here — it starts quite subtle but then all these layers open up as you drink it. The clarity of the flavours is just class. One of the best extra bruts I've had.

Good but maybe not £62 good?
Got this as a birthday present and it's definitely nice — very crisp and clean with a long finish. But I'm not sure I'd buy it myself at that price when you can get a perfectly decent champagne for £35-40. If you're really into the super dry style though, it's well made.

Bit too dry for me but I get the appeal
My partner loves really dry fizz so I grabbed this for our New Year's Eve. It's clearly quality — you can taste that there's nothing hiding behind sweetness — but honestly I prefer a bit more richness in my champagne. The finish is lovely though, very clean and lingering. At 12.5% it went down dangerously easy too.
