Drappier Rosé Brut Nature NV Champagne

Helena Kosta — Decent but expected more

7/10

It's good, very dry and clean with nice fruit flavours. But for north of sixty quid I wanted to be wowed and I wasn't quite there. My partner preferred it more than I did so maybe it's a taste thing. The finish is pleasant enough though.

Adaobi Eze — The zero dosage thing is real

8/10

So the wine shop guy explained this has no added sugar and you can genuinely taste the difference. It's so direct and honest compared to sweeter champagnes. Really interesting bottle if you're into trying something a bit different. The acidity gives it proper backbone.

Nia Okafor — Great with food

8/10

Saw this on a restaurant menu and took a chance on it. Goes brilliantly with salmon and lighter dishes. At 12.5% it's not too heavy either so we polished off the bottle easily. The dryness cuts through richer food really well.
