Aurelien Suenen Oiry Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs NV Champagne

Penelope Hart — Really nice but pricy

8/10

Had this at a friend's dinner party and thought it was excellent — proper balanced, nothing too sharp or too sweet. But when I looked up the price afterwards, £91 is a lot for champagne when you can get solid bottles for half that. Would I buy it again for a special occasion? Probably. For a Tuesday night? No chance.

Carlos Mendez — Solid choice for NYE

8/10

Opened this on New Year's Eve and it went down really well with everyone. Nice and clean, not too yeasty, good acidity. A couple of people commented on how smooth the finish was. I wouldn't say it's twice as good as a £45 bottle but it's definitely a step up from the usual suspects.

Marianne Blom — Best champagne I've had in ages

10/10

My wife picked this up after the guy at our local wine shop recommended it. Absolutely loved it. There's a real depth to it that you don't get with the usual big brand champagnes. Clean, crisp, and the finish just lingers beautifully. We've already ordered another bottle.
