Billecart-Salmon Brut Rose Champagne / Magnum

Farah Abboud — Absolute stunner with seafood

9/10

Had this with a big platter of oysters and prawns and it was incredible. There's something almost mineral about it that just works perfectly with shellfish. Light enough at 12.5% that you can keep drinking without falling over. The dried rose petal thing on the finish is so pretty.

Felix Moreau — Really nice but that price tag stings

8/10

Tried this at a restaurant and loved it so much I tracked down a magnum. The redcurrant and strawberry flavours are gorgeous and it's got this chalky dry thing that I really enjoy. But £160 is a lot of money and I'm not sure it's twice as good as an £80 bottle. Would buy again for a big occasion though.

Tomas Rivera — The wine shop guy was right

9/10

Went in looking for something special for a dinner party and the guy behind the counter pushed me toward this. So glad he did. It's crisp and dry with subtle red fruit — nothing over the top. Everyone at the table commented on it. The magnum format is great for sharing too, felt very generous.
