Bonnaire Tradition NV Champagne

Luciano Bianchi — Christmas present that actually delivered

8/10

Got this as a gift and wasn't sure what to expect from a producer I hadn't heard of. Really pleasantly surprised — it's got proper structure and complexity, not just generic fizz. The finish is clean and lingering in a really satisfying way. Bonnaire are clearly doing something right.

Natalie Ford — Perfect dinner party champagne

8/10

Had this at a friend's house and immediately asked where she got it. There's a real depth to it that you don't always get with NV champagnes. Poured it as an aperitif and it went down dangerously fast — had to open a second bottle before the starters even came out.

Nia Okafor — Nice but a bit pricey for what it is

7/10

It's a perfectly good champagne, don't get me wrong. Fresh, pleasant, easy to drink. But at nearly £40 I've had bottles I've enjoyed just as much for less. Would probably pick it up again on offer but wouldn't pay full whack every time.
