Converted me from prosecco
The guy in Majestic talked me into trying this instead of my usual prosecco and wow, there's a massive difference. It's so much more complex — like baked apple and toast and then this citrusy freshness underneath. I get why people spend proper money on champagne now. Dangerous knowledge to have honestly.

Good not great
Saw this on a restaurant menu and treated myself. It's perfectly nice champagne — bubbly, biscuity, clean finish with a bit of almond. But at 12.5% and this price point I wanted something that really knocked my socks off and it was more just... solid? Nothing wrong with it at all, just didn't set my world on fire.

Reliable every single time
I keep coming back to Yellow Label because it never lets you down. There's a lovely toasted almond thing going on in the finish that I really enjoy, and it's got enough body that you can actually sip it slowly rather than just knocking it back. Good with nibbles before dinner too.

Solid pick for a gift
Grabbed a bottle for my dad's retirement do. Everyone recognised the yellow label which is half the battle with gifts isn't it. Tasted great too — stone fruit flavours, not too dry, not too sweet. The finish hangs around in a really pleasant way. Would buy again for sure.

Nice but is it £55 nice?
Had this at a friend's dinner party and it was definitely tasty — brioche-y nose, crisp and fruity. But honestly for fifty-five quid I expected to be a bit more blown away. I've had Crémants at half the price that come pretty close. You're paying for the name a bit here.

The celebration staple
Bought this for my wife's 40th and it went down an absolute treat. Really bready, toasty smell when you pop it open and the taste is proper grown-up — apple and something biscuity that I couldn't stop going back to. At £55 it's not cheap but for a big occasion it's worth every penny.
