Ruinart Rose Champagne / Half-Bottle

Idris Ibrahim - Brought this to a girls night

8/10

Brought two of these half bottles to my friend's house and they went down really well. It's got this lovely berry and citrus thing going on without being too sweet. Everyone asked where I got it. Feels fancy without being intimidating if that makes sense.

Daniel Oyama - Decent but not sure about the value

7/10

It's a solid champagne, don't get me wrong. Clean taste, nice bubbles, good acidity. But fifty-odd quid for a half bottle is a lot. I've had full bottles of other champagne at that price that I enjoyed just as much. One for a special occasion I suppose.

Kwame Mensah - Ruinart never lets me down

9/10

I keep coming back to Ruinart and this rosé is just class. There's a real depth to it that you don't get with cheaper fizz — layers of red fruit and a finish that actually sticks around. The half bottle is handy for a weeknight when a full bottle is overkill.

Elena Vasquez - Perfect for two people

8/10

Picked this up for a dinner party starter and it was spot on. Poured two generous glasses each and the acidity cut right through the smoked salmon we had with it. Really well balanced and not too sweet like some rosé champagnes can be.

Astrid Nilsen - Lovely but it's a half bottle remember

8/10

Saw this on a menu at a nice restaurant and ordered it. Really pretty pink colour and the flavour is crisp with a bit of berry fruit. Just bear in mind £53.50 is for the half bottle so you're paying over £100 equivalent for a full one — worth knowing before you buy.

Jake Morrison - Genuinely impressed

8/10

I'm not usually a rosé person but tried this at a tasting and bought a half bottle to take home. There's a proper backbone to it — not just fruity fluff. The finish is clean and lingers nicely. At 12.5% it's easy drinking too, dangerous really.

Simon Hughes - Birthday treat that delivered

9/10

Got this as a birthday present for myself — half bottle felt like the perfect solo celebration size. The bubbles are so fine and the strawberry notes really come through. Properly elegant stuff, felt like a real treat.

Ingrid Holm - Nice but pricey for the size

7/10

The wine shop guy recommended this when I said I wanted something special but didn't need a full bottle. It's good — clean, fresh, proper champagne quality. But honestly at this price I expected to be a bit more blown away. Would maybe try a different rosé champagne next time.
