Bollinger Grand Annee 2015 Champagne / Gift Box

Mei-Lin Wu — Good not great for the money

7/10

Saw this recommended online and treated myself. It's definitely a step up from supermarket fizz — you get the toasty brioche notes and the bubbles are really fine and elegant. But at nearly £150 I expected to be more blown away? It's very nice, just not sure it's twice-the-price-of-Veuve nice. Maybe I need to try it with food.

Devon Marsh — Worth every penny for a special night

9/10

Bought this for our anniversary and it was genuinely incredible. The toasty bread thing going on with the bubbles was so good, and it just kept getting better as we drank it. At £146 it's not an everyday thing obviously but for a big occasion? Absolutely worth it.

Jackson Wu — Really good but hard to justify the price

8/10

Had this at a friend's dinner party and it was lovely — proper complex with loads of layers and a savoury thing going on that I really liked. But £146 is a lot for champagne when you can get solid stuff for half that. I'd happily drink it again if someone else is buying though.
