Armand de Brignac Ace of Spades Brut Rose Champagne: Elegance Worth Celebrating

Celeste Moreno — Treat yourself moment

6/10

Saw this on a restaurant menu and thought sod it. Went down brilliantly with our seafood starters — there's a salty mineral thing at the end that works really well with food. The peach notes are subtle and nice. Great champagne, just wish it didn't cost a mortgage payment.

Idris Ibrahim — Nice but not £945 nice

5/10

Had a glass at a friend's party. It's good champagne, don't get me wrong — the apple and lemon curd flavours are clean and refreshing. But I've had £40 bottles of fizz that made me just as happy. You're paying for the gold bottle and the name.

Wei Zhang — Gorgeous bottle, solid champagne

7/10

Got this as a birthday present and honestly the bottle alone is stunning. The champagne itself is really nice — lovely green apple and a sort of bready thing going on. Is it nearly a grand better than a decent Veuve? Probably not, but it made me feel fancy.
