Billecart-Salmon Cuvee Nicolas Francois 2008 Champagne

Haruki Sato — Worth every penny for a special night

9/10

Bought this for our 10th wedding anniversary and wow. The bubbles are super fine and it just keeps giving you more to taste the longer you sit with it. At £141 it's not an everyday thing but for a big occasion it's absolutely spot on.

Clara Johansson — Best champagne I've ever had

10/10

My brother-in-law brought this to Christmas dinner and I'm still thinking about it months later. So expressive on the nose, and the finish just goes on and on. I don't usually spend this much on wine but I've already ordered two bottles for myself.

Erik Strom — Good but bit steep

7/10

The wine shop guy recommended this when I said I wanted something special for my wife's birthday. It's really nice, don't get me wrong — clean finish, complex flavours, proper quality champagne. But at £141 I think you can find similar for less. Would I buy it again? Probably not at full price.
