Benoit Lahaye Rose de Maceration Champagne / Extra Brut

Marianne Blom — Nice but not sure it's £75 nice

7/10

Had this at a dinner party and thought it was good, not amazing. It's dry (extra brut apparently means very dry) and the colour is gorgeous. Decent finish too. But honestly for that price I'd probably just grab a regular champagne and a nice bottle of still rosé separately.

Daisy Miller — Birthday treat that delivered

9/10

My wife got me this for my birthday and wow. The bubbles are super fine and it's got this real depth to it — not like those bland rosé champagnes you get everywhere. Properly dry and crisp with loads of fruit coming through. At £75 it's not cheap but for a special occasion it's absolutely worth it.

Yuki Nakamura — Solid pick for a fancy night in

8/10

Saw this on a restaurant menu ages ago and finally tracked down a bottle. At 12.5% it's not going to knock you sideways which is nice. Clean, dry, proper fruit flavours that aren't sweet or fake tasting. We split it between two of us and honestly wished we'd bought two bottles.
