Bereche & Fils Mailly Grand Cru Blanc de Noirs 2018

Yuki Nakamura — Great but hard to justify the price

8/10

Had this at a friend's dinner party and it's genuinely excellent champagne. Loads of depth, nice acidity, clean finish. But £150 is a lot of money and I'm not sure it's twice as good as a £75 bottle. Would I buy it again? Maybe for an anniversary.

Sophie Brennan — Serious champagne

9/10

Not gonna lie, I don't know tons about champagne beyond knowing what I like, and I really liked this. It's richer and more interesting than the usual stuff I drink. You can taste the quality — sort of savoury and fruity at the same time with a finish that hangs around. Treated myself after a promotion and no regrets.

Daniel Torres — Birthday splurge that delivered

9/10

Bought this for my 40th and wow, it did not disappoint. The brioche thing is real — it's got this warm, bready quality that makes it feel really luxurious. Properly complex stuff with a lovely long finish. At £150 it's not an everyday bottle obviously, but for a special occasion it's hard to beat.
