Jacques Lassaigne Colline Inspiree / Magnum

Jorge Castillo — Classy stuff, needs the right occasion

8/10

Had a glass at a tasting and ended up buying a bottle. It's definitely serious champagne — well balanced with a really clean nose and good acidity. Not really a casual Tuesday night wine at this price point but for celebrations it's hard to beat. The magnum ageing clearly does something because it's incredibly harmonious.

Felix Moreau — Best champagne I've had full stop

10/10

My mate brought this to a dinner party and I've been thinking about it since. There's a depth to it that unfolds the longer you sit with it — not trying too hard, just genuinely complex. I'm not usually a £200 champagne person but I get it now.

Mei-Lin Wu — Really good but hard to justify the price

8/10

Tried this at a wine bar after the sommelier recommended it. It's lovely — balanced, clean finish, proper structured champagne. But £199 is a lot and I'm not sure it's twice as good as a £100 bottle. Would happily drink it again if someone else is buying though.
