Laurent-Perrier Ultra Brut Champagne: Refined Effervescence

Priya Sharma — Nice but steep for what it is

7/10

Tried this at a friend's house and it's a solid champagne — clean, lemony, bone dry. But £70+ is a lot when you can get perfectly good fizz for half that. I'd have it again if someone else was buying but probably wouldn't grab it myself.

Zoe Chen — Birthday treat that delivered

9/10

My wife got me this for my 40th and wow, it's properly good. Really dry and crisp with this lovely nutty thing going on — almost like toasted almonds. At seventy quid it's not an everyday bottle but for a special occasion it's absolutely worth it. The finish just goes on and on.

Yasmine Najjar — Classy stuff for a dinner party

8/10

Brought this to a dinner party and everyone kept asking about it. It's really elegant without being fussy — dry and mineral-y with a creamy quality that I wasn't expecting. Definitely a step up from the usual prosecco we end up drinking. Would buy again for the right occasion.
