Billecart-Salmon Demi-Sec Champagne / Gift Box

Elena Morozova — Nice but I expected more

7/10

Got this as a gift box set from a wine shop recommendation. It's good champagne, don't get me wrong — smooth, balanced, slightly sweet in a pleasant way. But for nearly sixty quid I was hoping to be blown away and it didn't quite get there for me. Would probably pick a brut next time at this price.

Hannah Brooks — Perfect for celebrations

9/10

Bought this for my wife's birthday and it was a massive hit. It's got a touch of sweetness but not in a cloying way — really elegant and easy to drink. The bubbles are fine and it just feels properly luxurious. At £58 it's not cheap but for a special occasion it's absolutely worth it.

Tariq Hassan — Lovely with dessert

8/10

Tried this after seeing Billecart-Salmon recommended online and I'm glad I did. We had it with a fruit tart and it was spot on — the slight sweetness paired really well without being too much. Clean tasting and genuinely classy stuff. The gift box is a nice touch if you're giving it to someone.
