Emily Thomas — Decent champagne, expected more maybe

7/10

Saw this on a restaurant menu and ordered a glass. It's well made — clean, balanced acidity, nice fruit. But at this price point I was hoping to be blown away and it was more like quietly impressed? Still a solid 7 though, nothing wrong with it at all.

Kai Oliveira — Nice but bit steep

7/10

Had this at a friend's dinner party and it was good, don't get me wrong. Lovely bubbles, nice and fresh, proper champagne taste. But at nearly £57 a bottle I'd probably stick with a decent Crémant for everyday drinking. One for occasions.

Ruth Banks — Birthday treat that delivered

9/10

Bought this for my 40th and wow, it did not disappoint. Really crisp and lively with tiny bubbles that just keep going. The flavour has proper depth to it — not just fizz and nothing else like some champagnes. At £56 it's not cheap but for a special occasion it's absolutely worth it.
