Champagne Alexis La Terre Mere NV

Zoe Chen — Birthday treat that delivered

9/10

Got this for my 40th and honestly it was the highlight of the night. Really elegant stuff — not too heavy, lovely bubbles, and it just kept pulling me back for another glass. The finish is so clean and lingering. Worth every penny of the £51.

Jorge Castillo — Decent champers, nothing wild

7/10

Had this at a restaurant and thought it was pretty good so tracked a bottle down. It's well made and the fruit and acidity are nicely balanced but I was hoping it'd blow me away a bit more at home. Still enjoyable though and the nose is genuinely interesting — keeps you sniffing before you sip.

Tariq Hassan — Nice but bit steep

7/10

It's good champagne, don't get me wrong. Smells lovely and the balance is there. But at over fifty quid I think you can find similar quality for less. I'd maybe save it for a special occasion rather than a regular buy.
