Champagne Lallier Rose NV Champagne: Bubbles of Distinction

Ayako Hirano — Goes down dangerously easy

7/10

Brought this to a dinner party and everyone commented on it. Really smooth with stone fruit and pastry flavours — almost dessert-like but not sweet if that makes sense. The citrus at the end stops it being too rich. Would buy again for a special occasion.

Freya Lindqvist — Decent Pinot Noir champagne

6/10

Saw this on a restaurant menu and thought I'd try it. It's well made — you can tell it's spent some time ageing with those biscuity notes. The chalky mineral thing is interesting. Not bad at all but at this price point I expected to be a bit more blown away.

Haruki Sato — Nice but overpriced honestly

5/10

Had this at a friend's dinner party and it was pleasant enough. Some nice fruity flavours and good fizz but £72 is steep when you can get cracking champagne for £40. Wouldn't buy it myself.
