Brice Brut Tradition NV Champagne / Half Bottle

Jackson Wu — Solid but wish it came in full size

7/10

The wine shop near me recommended this as a good entry into proper Champagne and yeah, it's nice. Clean and balanced with some interesting layers if you actually pay attention to it. Half bottle felt a bit stingy though — by the time you've poured two glasses it's gone. Good quality for the price, just wish I'd bought two.

Jason Steel — Decent, not mind-blowing

6/10

Brought this to a dinner party as a little aperitif thing. It's perfectly fine Champagne — crisp, pleasant, does the job. But at nearly £25 for a half bottle that works out at £50 for a full one, and I think you can do better at that price. The finish is nice though, I'll give it that.

Devon Marsh — Great little gift bottle

8/10

Bought a couple of these as stocking fillers at Christmas and ended up opening one for myself on New Year's Day. Genuinely surprised how good it is — there's a real freshness to it and it smells amazing, sort of clean and inviting without being over the top. Half bottles are underrated honestly, perfect when you just fancy a glass or two of something special.
